Evangelism and the Sovereignty of God | Everyday Evangelism, part 8 (edited) TheologyMom 2024-04-24 | If God is in control of everything, can Christians sit back and not bother to evangelize? Hardly! I will clarify the roles and responsibilities when sharing the faith. What does God do? What should we do? We will do a thorough study of Scripture and find out!This teaching will be based on the modern classic, Evangelism and the Sovereignty of God, by J.I. Packer.
Conversational Evangelism, part 2 | Everyday Evangelism, part 7 TheologyMom 2024-04-16 | This week, I want to coach you through some of the tougher situations that can arise when you’re in the middle of a discussion about the faith. (Because let’s be honest, very, very few conversations are a straight line to conversion. Sometimes you have to know when to call a tow truck.) And again, these are strategies that I have used for many years, so there is a fair amount of road testing behind them.
Conversational Evangelism | Everyday Evangelism, part 6 TheologyMom 2024-04-02 | I'm continuing the Everyday Evangelism teaching series. This week, I will share five specific steps to help you navigate even tough discussions about the faith.
Purpose of the Spiritual Gift of Evangelism TheologyMom 2024-03-17 | The gift of evangelism doesn't mean that those are the people who should do all the evangelism.

What is the Good News? part 1 | Everyday Evangelism, part 2 TheologyMom 2024-02-13 | I am continuing to do a deep dive into evangelism. This week I attempt to lay out Jesus' definition of the "good news" and suggest some says that I think it ought to inform our own evangelistic efforts. We need to get the gospel right before we get it out.Production note: This version of the show has been edited.
Why Arent We Sharing the Gospel? | Everyday Evangelism, part 1 TheologyMom 2024-02-06 | Every Bible-believing Christian has the same duty to share the gospel. We even believe that it should be a high priority in our lives. So, why do so many of us (myself included) put the task of “sharing the gospel” on the back-burner? I tackle this question in part 1 of an extended teaching series focusing on various aspects of evangelism. This will be a major focus on the podcast in 2024. I want to help you share your faith more effectively and consistently.Connect with Us:Web site: theologymom.comEmail: info@centerforbiblicalunity.comFacebook: facebook.com/theologymomPodcast: search for "theology mom" on your favorite podcast platformSubscribe to the show's YouTube Channel:youtube.com/@theologymomSupport our Sponsor: Family 210 Clothing teespring.com/stores/family-210-4Support Krista's work for the Center for Biblical Unity: centerforbiblicalunity.com/donate
Did the Pope Endorse Same Sex Marriage? TheologyMom 2024-01-30 | The big story over the Christmas break was the announcement from the Vatican about "blessing same sex couples." Some traditionalists have hailed this as pastorally helpful and clarifying, while others call it confusing and potentially troubling. Meanwhile the mainstream news reported the Roman Catholic Church as moving toward gay affirming. I've asked my friend, Anthony Costello, back on the show to help us sort through the confusion and share his perspective as a thoughtful former Catholic about why Protestants ought to care about these developments.Research and Sources:- "Fiducia Supplicans"; https://www.vatican.va/roman_curia/congregations/cfaith/documents/rc_ddf_doc_20231218_fiducia-supplicans_en.html - Fr.

Is Taylor Swift Promoting Witchcraft? TheologyMom 2024-01-16 | A couple weeks ago, I shared an IG slide sequence from the Raising Apologists account about Taylor Swift not being a role model for Christian girls.I was not prepared for the responses.

6 Things I Changed My Mind About Since 2020 TheologyMom 2024-01-02 | In this special New Year's livestream, I shared some thoughts about ways I've changed since 2020, as well as what I see on the horizon for 2024. This is more of an informal commentary than a Bible teaching.
Was Mary a Social Justice Warrior? TheologyMom 2023-12-18 | ***Answering a Popular Meme***Last December I did a deep dive into the life of Mary, the mother of Jesus. I went through every passage in the New Testament about Mary with my friend Erin Kunkle from MAVEN. This week's discussion will also focus on Mary. I’m going to consider the question, was Mary a social justice warrior? This show was inspired by a meme I’ve seen floating around social media. The artist was inspired by Mary’s song in Luke 1. The artist described his reimagining of Mary as a “call to economic justice.” This is why he put her fist in the air. So I asked my friend, Father Hayden Butler from St. Matthew’s Anglican Church in Newport Beach, CA to come on help us walk through the true meaning of this passage.
Historical Origins of the Conflict in Israel (part 3) TheologyMom 2023-12-13 | This is the final installment of a three-part teaching series that I am currently doing to try and put the war in Israel into its historical context. It's a complex journey, but there is simply no way to understand what it happening right now in the Middle East without taking the time to understand some key events.
Historical Origins of the Conflict in Israel (part 2) TheologyMom 2023-12-07 | It has been almost two months since the Black Sabbath of October 7 in Israel. I have been on a personal journey to research the history of the state of Israel in an effort to put the current conflict into its historical context. This has proved very challenging. In this three-part teaching series, I attempt to share what I have learned and how it connects to the media propaganda that is coming out on both sides.
Historical Origins of the Conflict in Israel (part 1) TheologyMom 2023-12-05 | It has been almost two months since the Black Sabbath of October 7 in Israel. I have been on a personal journey to research the history of the state of Israel in an effort to put the current conflict into its historical context. This has proved very challenging. In this three-part teaching series, I attempt to share what I have learned and how it connects to the media propaganda that is coming out on both sides.
ETS 2023 Recap TheologyMom 2023-11-20 | The Evangelical Theological Society (ETS) annual meeting is like Comicon for theology nerds. This is the place where evangelical scholars (the people who write the commentaries and study Bibles) present academic papers to each other. Many of these ideas are then taken back into seminaries, ministries, and local churches. In this special edition of the Theology Mom podcast, Krista is joined by Monique Duson to share their thoughts about some of the papers they heard last week at ETS and how they think these ideas will potentially influence your Christian circles.
The Bible as a Tool in Archaeology TheologyMom 2023-11-14 | While many archaeologists reject the spiritual authority of the Bible and even argue about the details of the history it presents, it is important to remember that even secular archaeologists use the Bible as a tool in their excavation work. Why? Because the Bible describes real events, people, and places. We will talk with filmmaker and biblical archaeologist, Joel Kramer about his unique work to explain the historical accuracy of the Bible to regular people.
An Insiders Perspective on the War in Israel, part 2 TheologyMom 2023-11-10 | Here is part 2 of my discussion with my Christian sister, Callie Mitchell, who lives in Israel. I ask for her to share her perspective as an American and Israeli citizen about the political conflicts in Israel.Questions we discussed:• Help us understand the claim that Gaza has been an "open air prison." Is this accurate?• Can you help us understand the saying, "From the River to the Sea Palestine will be Set Free"?• What can you tell us about the history of Hamas? Do they represent the Palestinian people?In this surprising interview, Hillary Clinton, echoes many of Callie's concerns: youtu.be/czN4E-CTJ_E?si=tK1c5QCQHnd8_MT1&t=67
An Insiders Perspective on the War in Israel, part 1 TheologyMom 2023-11-07 | When I woke up on October 7 and my daughter Emily texted me that Israel was at war, the very first person I messaged was my Christian sister, Callie Mitchell. You may recognize her name, as she was a guest on the show earlier this year sharing with us about Messianic Judaism. When she responded, she said her family were safe and that they had spent the day in a bomb shelter. Now that she's had some time to process the recent events in her country, I've asked her to come on and talk to us about what happened and how to best pray for our Christian family who live in Israel.Questions we discussed:• How did you come to love the Jewish people, and how did you, as an American, come to live in Jerusalem?• Tell us about the day of the invasion and what your family and your community has been going through?• How is the Messianic community responding to the crisis?• What is the difference between a Jew and a Zionist? And why do I keep seeing pictures on Twitter of Orthodox Jews saying that they aren’t Zionists and that they support Palestinians? • Do you have any advice about whether we should reach out to our Jewish friends? • Do you have any ideas for how we can love our Palestinian brothers and sisters?• Do you have any advice for us about how to pray about what's happening there?
Is Islam a Religion of Peace? TheologyMom 2023-10-31 | I have been watching a LOT of content interviewing Muslims about the war in Israel. I want to understand the best case on BOTH sides of the discussion.I've also been struggling to make sense of some of the claims. I realized that part of the problem is that I know only a minimal amount about Islam. I reached out to my friend Laura Zifer Powell to see if she could help me get to the truth whether Islam is a religion of violence or peace. You won't want to miss this important conversation!Questions we discussed:• How did you become interested in studying Islam?• How can we differentiate between loving Muslim people and disagreeing with their religious beliefs?• How does Islam say that conversion should happen? Is the goal truly to make the entire world become Muslim? Does it include coercion? • Is it possible that these passages are being taken out of context?• What does Islam teach about the dignity of humans? • Who are the “real” Muslims? Are the so-called extremists actually extreme? Or are they just living out the principles of Islam consistently? • Are average Muslims aware of what their holy writings say when it comes to violence?
3 Things Christians Need to Know about Jews, Judaism & Israel TheologyMom 2023-10-24 | I have been on the road for two weeks and am finally back home. I have seen a lot of comments on social media from people wanting help to understand our unique relationship with our Jewish friends and family, as well as with Israel as a nation. I am going to (God willing) do a live teaching on this and try to offer some clarity around these issues. I will also answer questions for those who are on that livestream.
Making Sense of the Hamas/Israel Conflict TheologyMom 2023-10-15 | Krista is joined by Monique Duson and Kevin Briggins for this special edition of the Theology Mom podcast. They will help you process the recent events in Israel, including explaining the history of the conflict, as well as the link between the Critical Social Theories and Hamas. If you listen to ONE THING about the conflict, make it this!
BEFORE You Press the SHARE Button TheologyMom 2023-10-03 | Recently, I’ve been doing some content related to the film Sound of Freedom, as well as the man behind the film, Tim Ballard. I wrote a blog post in July and then dropped a podcast summarizing some of my research last week. I will likely drop another podcast later in the week, as the story is quickly escalating.But it made me think about how this story with Tim Ballard is a microcosm of a larger issue: we live in the age of fake news and reliable information is becoming increasingly difficult to find. Pretty much every conservative news outlet, including a lot of Christian news outlets, were pumping Sound of Freedom as being mostly factual and Ballard as being a real life hero. I took a LOT of heat for saying, Slow down. Some of these so-called facts don’t add up.I can't count how many times I've said to my husband in the last three years, "I simply don't know what to believe anymore."Maybe you can relate.In this week’s teaching, I want to talk about 3 ways to help you find the truth in the age of fake news. My hope is that this will help guide you through the crazy.
I Went Down the Rabbit Hole | Tim Ballard, Founder of O.U.R. TheologyMom 2023-09-29 | It's not always easy to determine what's real on the internet. But Christians have a responsibility to do their due diligence before pressing the SHARE button. In this special mid-week edition of the podcast, I'm sharing my journey to research the alleged "true" story behind the film, Sound of Freedom.Programming note: I recorded this on August 14, 2023. I delayed releasing it while I continued to research things and with the hope I was wrong. But the evidence continues to mount against Mr. Ballard. So I've decided to go ahead and release it because I think more Christians need to consider the data.
We Take a Racial Justice Test | 9/27/23 TheologyMom 2023-09-28 | The National Association of Evangelicals has launched a new online Racial Justice Assessment tool. Watch as Monique and Krista take the test live and interpret the questions for you!

A Closer Look at the Orange Curriculums Position on Race TheologyMom 2023-09-19 | I continue to receive inquiries related to the Orange Curriculum. Over the last year, I have been collecting resources focusing on their position on race and racism. This is important data for those churches who are trying to decide whether to use Orange. Toward the end, I will also discuss RightNow Media.
Gods Blueprint for a Healthy Church (part 2) TheologyMom 2023-09-12 | This is the second of a 2-part teaching series on church leadership.My friend, Pastor Jeremy Bannister, and I have a discussion about the job description of elders and deacons and how these offices are the key to healthy churches. And what some of the consequences can be when churches don't follow God's plan.
Gods Blueprint for a Healthy Church (part 1) TheologyMom 2023-09-05 | A couple months ago, I did a teaching about what to look for in a church, especially if you’re transitioning churches or wondering whether you should transition to a different situation. At the end of that teaching, I said that the most important thing to look for in a church is Godly elders. In this 2-part teaching series, I will unpack that discussion in more detail and why I think that Godly elders are the key to healthy churches.
How To Learn the Basics of the Faith TheologyMom 2023-08-22 | What happens when you wake up one day and realize you know more about the canon of Star Wars than the canon of the Bible? There are a lot of Millennials parenting young children. And I've noticed that many of them have grown up in mega-church culture and they're struggling to know how to pass along the faith to their children. In this very practical teaching, I will outline some very basic strategies to help equip young Christian parents to grow in their own faith, as they are balancing the discipleship of their own children.
Teaching Kids to Work (in a world that would rather play) TheologyMom 2023-08-15 | Humans cannot flourish if we don't live according to God's design. And a major component of that design involves WORK. Yet, there are many messages these days that program our children not to work. In my own parenting journey, I have found that discipling my children about work and money have had a substantial impact on their lives as young adults. In this episode, I will share some Scriptures and practical ideas to help you disciple your kids on these issues.
Choosing Theology Over Entertainment TheologyMom 2023-08-07 | We are all theologians. Why? Because everyone has beliefs about God. The question is, do you have sound or unsound theology. How can parents equip themselves to think more accurately about God so they can disciple the kids in their lives more effectively.This is a rebroadcast from the Brave Parenting podcast. braveparenting.netFind FREE resources to help foster daily Bible reading: thenextgenerationministries.com/resources.Watch my webinar about developing a daily Bible habit: youtu.be/8dIs7piGLP0
