November 30, 2021 What’s in Store (Lord Willing) for Thoroughly Equipped
Thoroughly Equipped Ep-27. Last episode of the season, and I just wanted to get on to talk about future plans (Lord willing!) for season 2 and what I will be working on during the break.
Thank you to all my listeners for sticking around and going on this journey with me. God is so good and so very faithful. You guys are in my prayers during this holiday season. May God work mightily in your lives as He has in mine. Can't wait to get started on Season 2!

November 16, 2021 Critiquing that Encouraging “Christian” Meme
Thoroughly Equipped Ep.26
I take some time to look at and discern just a few of those encouraging "Christian" Memes. The goal of which is to show you how we can even take time to think about them biblically and perhaps be encouraged and willing to point out the falsehood found in some of them. In all three memes we look at what Scripture says about who we are by nature and how all of us are weak, and so because of this weakness we NEED Christ. I pray it gives you the motivation to hold up God's word as truth, present the Gospel, and glorify God even to those we interact with on social media.
May this episode bless you and glorify God!
