It's no secret that the Reformed community has somehow managed to make a name for itself as, well, rude, arrogant, and ungracious. Ungracious? How is it possible that the group of believers that hold so tightly to the doctrines of Grace could act ungraciously? I've heard from several people over the last year that they agree with the doctrine, but struggle with the people professing it. The gals interviewed popular Instagrammer @FriendlyCalvinist in this two part series on the how's and why's of this phenomenon. This first episode is more about getting to know the Friendly Calvinist, and the timestamped outline is below. Becca and Lauren want to thank the FriendlyCalvinist for joining them on the program and sharing so much of his story with them.

Today the gals are joined by two very special guests, authors and writers of Through the Narrow, Gina Cook and Tami Dykes. Gina Cook is the author of Just a Little Lion, linked below, and joins Lauren and Becca to discuss her testimony. She was born into a Lutheran house, married a Catholic man, and eventually found herself captivated by Catholic Mysticism and occult practices. Tami Dykes is the author of Being Too Small is Big Enough and is Gina's Aunt. She was saved by the grace of God and providentially brought into Gina's life during a time of intense turmoil. Together they shared with your co-hosts how Gina was bought out of such a dark place, and how we can better reach our family members.

The gals are excited to share this Christmas Special with you all and to have a very special guest joining them. In this episode, they discuss in detail where they stand on whether or not Christians should celebrate Christmas. They also touch on the history of the holiday. Kayleigh, their special guest shares what parents can do to help their children focus more on giving, and to give us some tips on toys to avoid. She joins them for the Shenanigans at the end as well.

This is a really fun episode, you'll have to forgive the amount of silliness. It was later than usual when the gals were recorded, so they are in rare form. In this episode they go through terms they've learned since being Redeemed, such as the 5 Solas, TULIP, Young Reformed and Restless, and Cage Stage. They also go through some historical facts of how we all got here. This is a fun episode, but they do eventually get down to the business of answering a lot of the questions they had sent in. Below is a list of links that were mentioned in this episode.

The gals had the absolute honor of interviewing Justin Peters, unfortunately in the middle of their interview Lauren's electricity went out. He was gracious enough to finish the interview with them a couple of days later. Good thing too, as Becca's voice was able to recover! At the beginning of the video, Lauren had a prayer request for a listener and sister in Christ, Jessica. You can find the links she mentioned below. If you'd like to see the video they discuss of Peters rebuking Todd Bentley that's also available below. Lauren and Becca want to sincerely thank Justin Peters for joining them, and all of you for listening in.

Who doesn't love a good cross-over? Three different podcasts come together for one giant cross-over! Amy and Michelle from A Word Fitly Spoken joined Lauren from Tulips & Honey as well as Emily from The Aquila & Pricilla Hour. The ladies make up four different generations and discuss Biblical discipleship from a woman's standpoint. It wouldn't be Tulips & Honey without some fun at the end! We hope this conversation is fruitful and edifying.

Doreen Virtue went from being a New Age author to a born-again believer when God graciously showed her the truth of His Word. She now spends her days learning more and more about Gods Word, encouraging believers, and warning others about false teachers. She was kind enough to join the gals on the program and discuss her journey, and give some great advice for helping believers to reach out to New Agers.

Professor Nancy Pearcey is a best-selling author of five books listed and linked below. She was gracious enough to spend several hours talking with us, although most of that conversation wasn't able to make it onto the program as it pertains to her next book. In this episode the gals talk with Prof. Pearcey about Love Thy Body, a book that delves into the harmful image current culture has of the body. They also discuss her testimony, of how God brought her from atheistic to Christian apologist. No Tulips & Honey episode would be complete without some shenanigans.

At the beginning of this episode, Lauren shares an update about Iris, who is battling stage 4 Thyroid cancer. Please join the Tulips & Honey Hub team in praying for this sister-in-Christ. You can find her social media pages and GoFundMe all linked below. During this episode, Lauren and Becca dissected a recent video in which a man claims to have seen a spirit form of Jesus that had no bones or flesh and was surrounded by a beautiful Aura. That video is also linked below. They discussed discernment and the need for testing these videos as well as getting deep into the doctrine of Christology. Below we've also included a link to Justin Peter's teaching on Heavenly Tourism.

Hopefully, by now the recent events surrounding Moore have calmed down enough for us all to sit down and have a genuine conversation about whether or not she should be teaching. That's what Lauren and Becca hope to do in this episode. Not only do they discuss what a false teacher is, but they also go into detail about how someone might go from teaching soundly to ignoring Scripture outright. During the episode, the gals gave a few recommended teachers in place of Moore. These included Doreen Virtue and Melissa Dougherty, Michelle Lesley and Amy Spreeman, DebbieLynn Kespert, Coleen Sharp, Michelle & Betsy, and Elizabeth Prata.
