"I don't want to stand before the Lord one day and say 'I didn't stand for You because it was too hard or I was too scared," - Dr. Sandra Reid.

Hello friends! Welcome to another week at Unpolished Faith. Today, one of my college professors, mentors, and dear friends will join the show to help us answer the question, "Should Christians be afraid of Artificial Intelligence?" If you have looked around and thought, "This tech sure feels Mark of the Beasty," this episode is for you.

You will find this conversation to be a beautiful reminder of a believer's responsibility to stand for righteousness even as the days get darker. Thanks for downloading and sharing with a friend :)

Hello friends! In this episode of Unpolished Faith, my long-time mentor and friend, Dr. Mike Goddard, and I dive into an important conversation for every parent—or future parent— about raising and discipling children. My mother often lamented growing up that there was no guidebook to raising children. If you've felt this way, today's episode if for you!

Whether you have children or not, nurturing a Christ-centered worldview in the next generation is something we can all take part in. Join us as we discuss practical ways to guide kids in navigating today’s world, strengthen their faith, and build a foundation rooted in biblical truth.

"That is a curse, not a command. Jesus redeemed us to our original commission- both male and female by His death, burial, and resurrection," -Pastor Kenny Chinn

Welcome back, friends! If you’re new here, you may or may not have heard from one of our Pastors in Residence here, Pastor Kenny Chinn. Pastor Kenny is a trusted theological resource here at Unpolished Faith. He was on earlier this season to help us answer the question “Do all good people go to Heaven?” and he is back once again to help us answer the question “What’s a woman’s place in the Church?” Our goal for today is not only to seek an answer to this question. We want to provide great tools to humbly approach the scriptures on controversial or uncomfy topics.

Today we take a fresh look at what the Bible teaches about women in general, the relationship between men and women, and the role of women within the church. If you have had questions about any of these topics, you've come to the right podcast!

Have you read scripture passages about the Nephilim, the divine council, or the weird chariots in Ezekiel and been like Whaaattt? Have you ever asked yourself what Ancient Aliens are? Have you wondered what the UFO phenomenon is and how it works in the Christian worldview? Today's podcast is one you can't miss!

Prepare for an engaging conversation as we're joined by Dr. Joel Muddamalle from Proverbs 31 Ministries. Together, we'll delve into the Divine Council Worldview, the Tower of Babel, the divisions of the nations, and more. This aligns perfectly with our current season, Controversial, where we tackle tough questions and seek real answers about our faith. We'll also explore the role of Jesus in reclaiming the nations, bringing unity and peace to restore His people to Himself.

Thanks for listening and sharing with a friend! :)

"When there is a lack of a standard, everybody will do what they see fit. That's why we all need the standard, the Word of God, in our lives. We need to read it, study it, and apply it to our lives," Dr. Jon Choi.

On today's show, we have Dr. Jon Choi, my academic advisor for my Master's in Christian Ministry program at Dallas Baptist University. Dr. Choi has been a great spiritual adviser, mentor, and friend to me over the last three years. I have so enjoyed learning from him that I wanted you, my community, to learn from him, too! Today, Dr. Choi will be helping us to answer the question: What are hermeneutics? If that feels like a big Christian word, I totally get that. What we are talking about is how we can read the Bible, study it, and apply its lessons to our lives.

Happy Thursday, friends! (And- birth week to me...Okay, I had to put that one here!) I am celebrating God's goodness and faithfulness through my twenty-something years this week, and one of the best ways you can celebrate with me is by leaving a review of the show. I would love to hear what you're loving about Unpolished Faith!

The second order of business, arguably the most important: Y'all know I am a reader. On today's show, we have Tim Harlow, the author of one of my Big Five books of all time. Tim wrote the book What Made Jesus Mad: Rediscover the Blunt, Sarcastic, Passionate Savior of the Bible. This book has shaped me in more ways than one, and I find myself coming back to re-read this book year after year. In our conversation, we talk about legalism, hypocrisy, being the hands and feet of Jesus, and more as Tim helps us answer the question: What Makes Jesus Mad?

Thanks for listening and sharing with a friend :)
