Killing the Characters: Mistake #1 in Teaching the Bible
Have you ever felt like you’re missing something when teaching the Bible? I certainly have. In my journey, I discovered three common mistakes that many Bible teachers make, one of which is “killing the characters.” We often overlook the rich backstories of biblical figures, rushing to application without considering their context. By allowing these characters to “live” in our messages, we can provide deeper understanding and relevance for our listeners. Join me as I explore how to keep the characters alive and enhance the impact of our teachings!

From the “perfect woman” of Proverbs 31 to Jesus’ profound teachings on worry, we uncover what it truly means to be clothed with strength and dignity. Join us as we explore how the Gospel invites us to shed the weight of worry and embrace a life of trust and confidence. Discover the transformative power of faith in the face of anxiety!
Misinterpreted: 1 Corinthians 10:13
Have you ever heard the phrase, “God won’t give you more than you can handle”? It’s a comforting thought, but is it really what the Bible teaches? In 1 Corinthians 10:13, Paul addresses temptation—not the hardships of life. This distinction is crucial. Instead of affirming our strength, Scripture reveals that we often face burdens beyond our ability to bear. Discover the deeper truth: God allows more than we can handle to teach us reliance on Him. Join us as we explore how His faithfulness shines brightest in our moments of weakness.
Mom Guilt and How to Fight It
I was the perfect mom—before I had kids. Fast forward nine months, and I realized how wrong I was. As the laundry piled up and my patience wore thin, I felt like a failure, overwhelmed by mom guilt. But what if this guilt stems from believing lies, misplaced identity, or even conviction from the Holy Spirit? Discover how recognizing these truths can help us embrace our need for help, shift our focus back to God, and ultimately find freedom from guilt. Join me on this journey to unburden ourselves and celebrate the gift of motherhood through the gospel.
How to Surrender Control and Trust God with Your Child’s Salvation
When my kids were little, my greatest fear wasn’t their safety; it was their salvation. I thought it was my job to guide them to the narrow path that leads to life. In a moment of desperation, I even held my preschooler’s hand over a candle flame to illustrate the discomfort of hell. But what I learned through that experience—and the story of Rebekah—is that my attempts to control their destinies only revealed my lack of trust in God. Discover how surrendering control can bring peace and joy, knowing that salvation is ultimately in God’s hands, not ours.
