In this episode, Tory and Mary explore the influence media has on our lives and the idea that we all have varying sensitivities—or “allergies”—to it. How can you recognize and assess your own “media allergy,” and what are the risks of letting it go unchecked—and the joys of managing it wisely? How is media shaping your relationship with Christ, and what boundaries can help you use it in faith (Romans 14:23)? Hosted by Ausha. See ausha.co/privacy-policy for more information.

All of us are called to be ministers of the gospel, but why is ministry so hard? Whether it's your full time job or in addition to it, it comes with unique challenges. How do we deal with these difficulties and endure? Join Tory and Mary on this week’s episode. Hosted by Ausha. See ausha.co/privacy-policy for more information.

As a church, we’ve covered 1 Corinthians 11:33b-40 and 14:2-16 and see that neither passage addresses women in leadership. So where in Scripture is this topic addressed? Why is it often difficult to understand and therefore apply? Why is this truly something to debate about? How can we pray and press in as we seek to submit to Scripture? Join Tory and Mary as they discuss.

How do we learn and grow in using our spiritual gifts individually and corporately? When we engage in discovering, identifying, and humbly submitting the operation of the gifts to the Lord we have greater intimacy with Him. We receive more of Jesus and we rightly employ these gifts in serving one another as good stewards of the multifaceted grace of God (1 Peter 4:10).  Empowered: The Power of the Gifts (1 Corinthians 14) (https://www.youtube.com/live/3X4fMVR-slA?si=7qSi99Hc_zMIxuRN) Hosted by Ausha.

Journey with Tory and Mary through a theological theory on this more Bible Project like episode of Well Said. Tory walks Mary through his theory on possibly needing to see or hear Jesus directly to be saved. Hosted by Ausha. See ausha.co/privacy-policy for more information.

How do these two theological concepts co-exist? Does God's sovereignty mean human choices are mere illusions? If God is sovereign and controls everything, why does He allow evil and suffering? Are evangelistic efforts futile if His will cannot be thwarted? Join Tory and Mary as they answer these questions and many more around freewill and sovereignty. Hosted by Ausha.

Tory and Mary continue their conversation on identity. Where do we struggle with this and how does the gospel help us overcome it? How does the beauty and importance of diversity coincide with a unified static identity? Join us for the implication and application of living from our identity in Christ. Hosted by Ausha. See ausha.co/privacy-policy for more information.

How does culture define identity and does that differ from Christianity? What actually creates and shapes who we are? Is it our relationships, experiences, roles, choices, religion, philosophy, biology, etc? Is identity ever evolving or unchanging? Join Tory and Mary as they begin a discussion on identity. Hosted by Ausha. See ausha.co/privacy-policy for more information.

How do we go about understanding and applying passages about parapets in Deuteronomy and women being ceremonially unclean due to menstrual cycles in Leviticus 15? Do these still apply to us today? We know we need to understand what the bible says, but too often we don’t meditate to determine WHY the bible says what it says. Join Tory and Mary as they discuss the importance of biblical ethics.

Proverbs 18:21 tells us that life and death are in the power of the tongue. James 3 warns us that it can set a forest on fire, and Jesus tells us we will give an account for every word spoken. Where are we sowing seeds of death with our tongue? How do we surrender our tongue to sow seeds of life? Hosted by Ausha. See ausha.co/privacy-policy for more information.
