As Christians, we believe that the bible is without a doubt absolute truth. However, the interpretations we make of the text lead us at times to differing theological conclusions, such as Calvinism vs. Arminianism or even women's leadership roles within the church. So how do we wrestle with different theological views, many of which occur within our own body? How do we recognize which theological issues are worth dying for? Which ones are worth leaving a church for? Is there any that are okay just to debate? Scripture puts an extremely high emphasis on unity. How do we then love one another with different theological views? Join Tory and Mary as we discuss in this season's finale.  Survey Link: https://thewell.questionpro.com/t/AYP1MZ39zm Hosted by Ausha.

In this episode of Well Said, Tory and Mary put each other in the hot seat!

Jesus is the fulfillment and embodiment of sabbath. So, what does that then mean for us as Christians? How do we see and experience Christ as our sabbath rest? What does it look like to work hard, rest well, and avoid the foolish toiling proverbs taught about? How do we victoriously achieve versus restlessly strive and receive Christ in abundance through it all? Join us as we discuss. Hosted by Ausha. See ausha.co/privacy-policy for more information.

2 Corinthians 2:10 says, “He delivered us from such a deadly peril, and he will deliver us. On him we have set our hope that he will deliver us again.” God throughout scripture is portrayed not just as A deliverer, but THE deliverer. So, what does that make us? How do we receive and experience God as deliverer and live in our identity and response to that as broken slaves? How do we positively become slaves to Christ and live in the already but not yet of deliverance? Join us as we discuss. Hosted by Ausha. See ausha.co/privacy-policy for more information.

At times reading the scriptures can feel rich and intimate and at other times dry and distant. Why is this? Is it a confusion of genres, language, culture, context, purpose, etc. Do we struggle with how to read or why to read? How do we overcome this to allow the bible to be a spring of life for our thirsty souls? How do we engage so we know more of God himself and transform our lives? Join Tory and Mary as we discuss.

Tory and Mary continue their “Who should I vote for?” conversation discussing Jesus’s interaction with Pilot and getting practical. How do we actually choose who to vote for? Who are we voting for? What is our witness as Christians in the realm of politics?  Hosted by Ausha. See ausha.co/privacy-policy for more information.

Engaging with politics as a Christian presents challenges. We are called to participate in a system that doesn’t align with Kingdom values. How do we do this in a way that strives for things to be on earth as it is in heaven? What guidance is given in scripture and how do we honor the Lord as we vote? Can we actually make a difference?

Welcome to The Well Family Frank! Join us for an interview with our new Worship Director Frank Katalayi. Listen in to hear his story, his heart, and hope for worship and our people.

What do Christians mean when they talk about discernment? How do I actually hear from God? How do I know it's His voice when He speaks and not my flesh or the world? What if He doesn’t answer? How do I hear from God more and grow in discernment? If you’ve ever pondered these questions or ones like them, join Mary and Tory for this episode's discussion on how to hear from God. Hosted by Ausha. See ausha.co/privacy-policy for more information.

So often this question is simply answered, “for our good,” but what if theres more to it? If it was just for our good, why does Jesus teach us to pray to NOT be led into testing? Join Tory and Mary in the discussion as they tease apart the tension and complexity looking at 8 common tests found in scripture and in our lives. We pray this conversation helps change our perspectives and points us to the love and kindness found within the answer to why does God test us. Hosted by Ausha.
