A great litmus test for whether or not someone is speaking truthfully is to measure how much nuance and qualification they feel they must include. It's one thing to strive to be a great communicator. It's an entirely another thing to be the kind of communicator who has to assort a great many pillows around their listeners so as to never bump in to their sensibilities. Ask yourself: can you speak the truth clearly and boldly, or is the fear of man gripping you?

Joy is pausing us on a portion of Scripture so glorious and beautiful that it is truly worship-inducing to consider. Join us as we think about Jesus, the prophecy-fulfiller, the one the Old Testament is pointing to, and the one rejected by His own people. We hope you are so encouraged to see King Jesus do everything He said He would.

To the world, marriage is a private choice made between two people that can end at any time for any reason. In Christendom, the divorce rate is similar to the secular world's divorce rate, and our leaders are wondering aloud if perhaps we idolize the nuclear family. Many churches have "Singles" ministries and many keyboard warriors say that we often harm singles by treating them as less than. So what's up with our relationship with marriage, dear Christians?

This week Summer tells the story of the unsolved murder (suicide?) of the world's foremost Sherlock Holmes expert. His death occurred during a suspicious and lucrative sale of millions of dollars worth of Arthur Conan Doyle material. He was found dead, with no signs of forced entry, the door locked from the inside, a shoelace nearby, and no note. Did someone want him dead? Or did he go the way of so many Sherlock Holmes experts--into madness?

A really common phrase you'll hear in Christian circles begins, "I'm really struggling with...." and then insert whatever sin here. But sometimes it is hard to tell if this is a euphemism or not. How we talk about our sin will certainly impact how we can fight that sin. So, "the struggle" we are talking about: is it real?

This week we want to try to help you think through God's sovereignty and man's responsibility. How can it be true that God is in control of all things? What about evil things? What about sin? How can we be held responsible for sin if God controls all that we do? Let's chat!

Scripture gives us a holistic view of who we are in body, mind, and spirit. Since God made us each in His image, both male and female, we can know that He has a purpose for us in our gender. But we live in a culture that hates what God has said about who we are, and how we should live. We know that the feminists by and large get the concept of womanhood really wrong, so how can we make sure we get it right?

Every feminist movement has appealed to the government to make the changes they see as necessary to further their freedom. But the world’s definition of freedom is often tyranny.

Let's talk about joy! If you haven't been feeling joyful lately, you're really missing out. We know we live in a sin-filled world with sin-filled hearts, but joy is a fruit of the Spirit—meaning it's something that God is working in you. So what should you do if you just aren't feeling it?

Depression and anxiety are par for the course in our society, and on some level it makes sense. The world is broken. We encounter struggles and frustration every day.

We would point out that we live in an age of constant offense, but you know that already. So what now? How do we weed out a fear of disagreement in the church?

Our inbox exploded after our interview with Nate Collins. What did we mean by asking if homosexuality is ontologically possible?

The Reformation happened 500 years ago because people who had not previously had access to the Word of God suddenly did. Here we are watching as the world moves further and further away from God, praying for revival. But are we using the tool God gave us for that revival?

Last week, The Gospel Coalition published an article describing how to determine if your church is multiethnic. At the behest of the ever-gentlemanly Justin Taylor, Summer read the article several times but remained confused. We are told “how” to determine if your church is maintaining a “spirit” of diversity but we are never told why pastors should spend time analyzing census data to determine if their church is reaching this goal. What is the goal?

Scripturally, repentance is both a command and a gift. Culturally, repentance is often a dirty word because by necessity it must be preceded by sin. But do we really live as if that’s the case? How can a clear understanding of repentance help our relationships both horizontally and vertically?

I don't know about you, but when I hear the phrase "biblical womanhood", I think of women on Twitter who are upset that there are other groups of women who throw Jane Austen parties to celebrate a time when Biblical womanhood was thing. In fact, we don't actually think of Bible verses or strong definitions, or something to strive for—we think of how offended the phrase often makes us. It's truly no wonder, given how confused our generation is about how many genders there are, that the church has drifted toward such animus for the phrase. But we are, after all, the "people of the Book." We believe that God HAS defined gender for us, and not in such a way as to leave us clueless as to what he requires from us. We CAN know what Biblical womanhood is, and we can honor God when we strive to fulfill our roles as he has defined them.

The girls are joined for this episode by Zachary Conover, the Communication Director for End Abortion Now. He has been to pro-life conferences, interviewed the major players in the pro-life movement, and travelled (alongside Joy!) to Ireland to help churches fight to keep abortion illegal there. He helps us think through why the Pro-Life Movement has largely been a failure, why incremental legislation is like putting lipstick on a pig (our words, not his), and why Christians should have a radically different position on how to end abortion immediately than many of us actually live out in the voting booth or with our political affiliations.

This week Joy dissects the curious case of Benjaman Kyle—a man who woke up behind a dumpster in 2004 and couldn't remember his name, or where he had been for the previous 21 years of his life. Good samaritans embark on a mission to help him find his identity. He ends up all over the news, on Dr. Phil, and with groups all over the country wanting to help. But did Benjaman want help?

This week Summer talks the Cameron Todd Willingham case. Willingham was put to death for setting his house on fire, resulting in the death of his three children. But his case wasn't cut and dry. His Led Zeppelin posters turned the public's opinion against him. Once a world-renowned fire scientist got involved, the evidence that put Willingham away became heavily circumspect. So what do we do in a world where justice is desired, vengeance is common, the courts are corrupt, and "science" can't always be trusted?

This week we want to get real with you about the Patriarchy. It's out there, and you can fight it, but are you even sure what you're fighting for? If the Bible says women must obey their husbands, and their husband is abusive, where does that leave women? Are we willing to admit that the first wave of feminists were responding to large-scale abuses by men? The answer is yes, and we are about to explain why!
The post Smash the Patriarchy: How Men Helped Create Feminism & What To Do About it appeared first on Sheologians.
We do not believe that women can be pastors because Scripture tells us as much. But let's be honest, a lot of us hold to this view "because Scripture says so." Scripture saying so is the number reason to do or not to do something. While we believe that wholeheartedly, in the very gender-confused and feminist-saturated culture we live in, it is not enough to know what you believe—you must also know why you believe it. So that is why this week, we are taking a very short amount of time to explain the why's, and answer some common objections.

The Conservative Millennial, Allie Stuckey, is a force to be reckoned with. We did not know what we were going to get when we asked her to come on the show, but we were just blown away. Normally we get to hear her on FOX, NBC, or MSNBC in short bits and pieces giving her [extremely accurate, punchy, and beneficial] ten cents on what's going on in the political world. Today we get to hear why she believes it is important that Christians are able to articulate their faith, understand politics and culture, and be engaged in the current political climate. We also get to find out how many cats is too many cats and why Summer's dad has a cat waterfall.

The natural end of a desire to esteem yourself is suicide. That's a hefty statement, but we spend a lot of time this week trying to think through a natural desire that is in all of us--self-obsession. The world tells us that we need to see the beauty in ourselves, we just need to "think positive", and that we need to think better of ourselves. The Bible says our value is not self-actuating, but that God is the source. So how do we Biblically avoid the pitfalls of self-esteem, self-loathing, and self-obsession?

The consequences of ideas can hardly be overstated. Artists that draw graphic images of the female anatomy on sidewalks are hailed in the media has "empowering women" everywhere. Meanwhile, women in many countries are sold as child brides and sex slaves. Postmodernism has truly caused us to lose all meaningful definitions of empowerment and oppression. It's not just on a global scale that we can see the damaging effects of the postmodern power narrative—it's in our daily lives, too. So what's the biblical answer? How should we be thinking of power, oppression, and victimhood in a God-honoring way?
