How could knowing about how the Bible was put together possibly make any difference in my life?In this episode, Mindi answers all these questions and more as she explains our need to not only know what is in the Bible, but also about the Bible itself. After all, if we are basing our identities, worldviews, and eternal destinies on a book, shouldn't we know basic facts about it?

What is identity? How does Scripture define it? What does it mean to be made in God's image? How much of a role does gender play in it? How does our identity change once we accept Christ? What is our purpose and mission in this life because of how God has made us? These are huge questions that Monica and Mindi discuss in detail. They tack...2025-03-041h 44Biblically Lit#61: Gene Lowery - RedemptionCan God redeem anyone? Any situation? Any horrible circumstance? Any atrocious hurt? Even something outright evil? If you glean anything from Gene’s story, it will be that the answer to those questions is undeniably YES. God can and does redeem anyone and every circumstance. He can take the darkest of hurts and turn them into the brightest of rays of His glory. And has. In Christ. Gene was a career police officer and detective who saw first hand the evils of this world, beginning with his own broken family.

They can be disorienting, exhausting, and traumatizing, and often leave us gasping for the air of God’s comfort and constancy (if we don’t run away from Him altogether). Emily has experienced her fair share of church hurt and burnout. Yet through God’s faithfulness, has walked with Him through healing and restoration.

So many opinions shaped by heightened emotions are being spewed from all sides, and it seems impossible not to get harmed in the crosshairs. What are we, as Christians, supposed to do about it? First, we're supposed to define justice as God does in Scripture, then we are to have a proper expectation and pursuit of justice in this world, and finally, are to understand Jesus--how He is justice, how He exacted justice, and then how...2025-02-0448 minBiblically Lit#57: KJ Nally - Life, Love, and Biblical CounselingNot only is KJ Nally a tremendously accomplished author and speaker, she is a dear friend and sister in Christ.

All of them claim to know truth, the best way to live, and the secret to happiness.As Christians, we expect this from the world, but that’s not where it’s stopping…we’re seeing it in the church. Instead of standing united on the firm foundation of Scripture, we’re fractioning into countless belief systems that put US in authority- that assert OUR power in determining truth.In this episode, Mindi talks about how this has been so disastr...2025-01-211h 01Biblically Lit#55: JudgmentJudgment is nearly a curse word in a society bent on acceptance, affirmation, and personal truth. But do claims like, “You should never judge others” hold up in light of Scripture? And what about verses in Scripture that seem to say it’s wrong to judge, but then stand alongside others that say it's not? What does judgment look like for a Christian? Is it good, bad, right, wrong, or somewhere in between? Listen as Mindi tackles this intense subject using Scripture as her guide. In it, she answers all the aforementioned questions and more, articula...2025-01-1452 minBiblically Lit#54: TemptationTemptation. We all face it every day.

But what if it's not? What if healing is possible and hope is real? What if your pain has a purpose and your mess is becoming a message? What if you're a part of someone else's story of healing...and hope? And what if God is orchestrating it all to draw out of darkness and into His light?

But there’s something harder: standing for Christ while surrounded by people who claim His name. It’s easy to feel alone. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed and want to give up. Elijah did. In fact, he even asked God to end his life on earth. But Elijah wasn’t alone, and neither are we. As long as we have breath, God has a purpose for our lives. Sometimes, that means speaking truth into a culture openly hostile to Christ. Oth...2024-12-0352 minBiblically Lit#48: Brink of DisasterWe are all closer to the brink of disaster than we’d like to think about or believe. One decision (or one more bad decision) could send us over the edge where it may very well be impossible to resume the original trajectory of our lives. Fortunately, God gives us examples in Scripture - ones to aspire to and follow, and others to avoid like the plague. King Solomon is both. He experienced the highest of highs with Israel, but then died knowing that doom was on the horizon. And that it was his fault.

We need to keep fighting for truth and resisting evil in our culture and world. We don’t have the luxury of just floating along in some want-to-be Eden-like utopia where we coast down the river of naivety and apathy as we await our entrance to the Pearly Gates. We are soldiers in a battle, and we're fighting powers of evil. The the fight hasn’t (and never) changes because of elections.

Sin’s destructive fingers reach so much further than we ever imagine, and processing their reach is a difficult. But it’s also a worthwhile journey, because from it comes healing. And the best part? No matter how much the enemy means everything for evil in our lives and wreaks havoc therein, God means it for our GOOD. He can (and will) heal, restore, and bring about our good and His glor...2024-10-291h 58Biblically Lit#43: The Bible and Your Vote - A Word About Your Christian Identity and PoliticsDo Christians actually have a (biblically-based) choice who to vote for?

In this episode, Mindi begins to answer some of these questions. This first part (this episode) takes a step back to look at this subject from a big picture perspective.

Death is required for the plant to grow and become what it was always meant to be. The same is true for Christians - our life in Christ required His death. But the story doesn’t end there, just like it didn’t end with Good Friday. He ROSE! He conquered death so we could come alive.
