The Christian Celebrity | S3E1

The Christian Celebrity | S3E1

What do you think about Christian Celebrities is it something that should be celebrated or are we allowed to be more critical of those who have built these faulty kingdoms? We mention a lot of names not because we believe these pastors are heretics but we should be able to have healthy conversations about other believers so that we can all be better as the body!

Thank y'all so much for listening! LET'S GET REAL!

Episode 73 | Failure is NOT Fatal

Our failures are not the end of us! So often, we can believe that God is going to resent us because we are going to fail, but this isn't true. It is okay to fail, but we must be able to learn and grow from our failures.

Episode 59 | Women are MORE than Directors

Think about some of the most influential people that you know. Most of them are probably women, huh? I would guess so!

We must be able to lift uur sisters in the faith!! If we don't ,we are missing a beautiful piece of our community and ultimately what our God wants! Let us no longer be people who say we are on the same team as our friends , but ARE!

Thanks for listening to my 20-minute rant about women in ministry.

How many of these do you own? Bonus Cold Brew if you have all three!
Are we forcing our students into molds that don't make any sense? We can no longer be ministries that say we are about all kids and then create these vicious out-groups. I speak from experience that we can help break these unhealthy molds. Also, can anyone explain how this began in the church?
