The Chasing Truth Podcast

In today's episode we had the joy of talking with author, speaker and Bible teacher, Phylicia Masonheimer. 

Confused on where to start studying the Bible, what it should look like, or which resources are helpful? Phylicia provides wisdom filled, peace-bringing answers to these questions and so many more! Phylicia explains the dangers of reactive theology along with the importance of drawing truth out of scripture based on the character of God. Lastly, we discuss the "Instagram Bible study" aesthetic expectations vs. the reality of what a true posture of worship looks like.

This episode wraps up our series on how to read the Bible for what the Bible really says! Join us in two weeks as we jump into a new series titled "Real Gospel, Real Life!"

In today's episode we discuss Biblical discernment in regard to the worship music and sermon content we allow to influence our theology. Join us today as we discover the roll of the Holy Spirit and talk about grace and truth in leadership. 

Today we discuss the importance of reading scripture in light of the Gospel!

In today's episode we discuss what the Bible is, how we got it, and why we need it in its entirety!

God can speak in many ways.

In today's episode, we discuss the speech and decrees of God which reveal his existence and power in creation. Additionally, we consider how the Holy Spirit allows us to interpret scripture and rightly divide the word of Truth so God can speak directly to us as individuals. We also discuss historical prophecy and God’s use of people to lead the church through scripture. Lastly, we talk about God's revelation of Himself and His gospel through the person Jesus Christ. 

Next week we'll be talking more about God's written word--the Bible!

Today we talk with Students for Life activist, Autumn Lindsey. Autumn has been an incredibly prominent voice in the pro-life movement. She provides useful insight on how to respond to pro-choice claims and encourages young adults to stand for life. Some of the pro-choice lies we discuss with Autumn include. . .

• "Either way women will get abortions, so we have to have safe abortion options."
• "I would never get an abortion myself, but I don’t want to take the right away from other women."
• "We shouldn’t be imposing our religious views on political matters."
• "Abortion is necessary if the mom's life is in danger."

Wanting to get more involved in the pro-life movement? Autumn provides wonderful advice towards the end of the episode on how to do so!

In today's episode, we talk with Ghanaian-Canadian blogger and pro-life advocate, Samuel Sey. Samuel blogs on political, social, and theological issues from a Biblical worldview. He focuses primarily on social justice, the BLM movement, and abortion. 

Today, we discuss justice. What is true Biblical justice? Does the social justice movement achieve justice? Do socialist policies achieve justice? Does abortion achieve justice for women??

Towards the end of the episode, we get into discussing the upcoming election. In this discussion, Samuel shares encouragement for individuals passionate about justice, life inside the womb, and Biblical truth. The encouragement and reminder of both our citizenship in heaven and King Jesus as the one who is sovereign over all brought incredible peace to our hearts and minds. We pray wisdom is gained and peace is felt from this episode. To God be the glory.

Perry shares the goals of his ministry and his responses to the questions above through reminding us of man's chief goal and purpose in life--to glorify God. What a blessing that is!

We're back for our second conversation with Haley Williams! In this episode, Haley shares her personal experience with the Enneagram. In sharing, she explains what she has come to learn about the truth behind this personality test. Haley discusses the turning point of coming out of a world wrapped up in the mindset of this test through explaining the history, motives, and goals behind it.

As always, we end by comparing the promises of the Enneagram with the promises of the Gospel. You may have guessed it, but one is far better than the other!

This week, we interview special guest Haley Williams from the Kindled podcast. Haley provides wisdom filled advice and explanations for our questions on feminism, motherhood, and the public vs. private. vs. homeschool education systems.

Beginning our conversation by discussing all Haley is involved in, we ask her if she feels in any way empowered by the feminist movement. After providing a brief overview of the feminist worldview in comparison to a Biblical worldview, Haley states she "believes in women too much to believe in feminism." -- Amen to that sis! So good!

We then transition into discussing Haley's advice for women who desire to be mothers someday. The greatest piece of advice she share for preparing for motherhood is to prioritize your relationship with the Lord and seek to spend time in His word.

Lastly, we asked her advice, as a mom, on whether she would have her children attend public, private, or home school. In this portion of the conversation Haley gives incredible advice for college students in the public education system. 

We hope you enjoy this edifying, encouraging, and insightful conversation as much as we did!

In this episode we discuss how "me-culture" has infiltrated some aspects of Christianity. In discussing this, we also consider the question of what we feel would be more important to share with unbelievers: our personal testimonies or the Gospel itself.

In this episode we explain why it is essential to have a worldview grounded in objective truth and consistency.

In this episode, our very first guest, Virgil Walker, discusses issues of social justice, critical race theory, the BLM movement, and much more. Through an objective Biblical worldview, Virgil explains how to discern and approach such social and political topics. 

In this episode we discuss the agenda of the Black Lives Matter movement and why we, as conservative Christians, do not agree with the movement.

In this episode we discuss sin in light of the Gospel and other theological doctrines.

In this episode we explain the source of humility, confidence, and how we--as Christians--are called to portray the balance between the two in our lives. 

In this episode we discuss the ways in which our society justifies and celebrates abortion through the valuation of the individual self above all. After laying out the self-degrading, dangerous path society continues down, we explain the solution to it all: the Gospel of Christ.

In this episode we discuss the potential flaws in our understanding of God and our relation to Him. We will also rethink what God's love actually looks like and how we, as Christians, can best represent it in this world.

Welcome to The Chasing Truth Podcast! In this new podcast, hosts Presly and Grace discuss their gen-z perspective on social, political, and theological issues from a Biblical worldview. Today they discuss the foundation of truth and moral standards: God's word. Tag along with us or get in touch through...
