This week we’re bringing you a conversation on a subject that we’re always thinking about, but that has taken on a special urgency over the last two months—the role of women in the Church. A large survey recently released showed a societal shift with regard to women and religion. In a reversal of trends from prior generations, young women are now leaving religion at significantly higher rates than men. Social issues and patriarchal structures are oft-cited reasons. Are there signs of trouble within our own faith?
We’re excited to bring you an episode with a genuine ‘lift-where-you-stand story’ of a family in the UK.

When we truly feel “godly sorrow” for our sins, it becomes one of the greatest spiritual gifts we could ever receive.
It can be fun to think about the super cool and impressive spiritual gifts we could have. But what is truly the purpose for these spiritual gifts? Let’s study 1 Corinthians 12:10 together!
In this episode we'll talk about 1 Corinthians 8-13. We'll talk about one of the promises made regarding our ability to withstand temptations, including the idea that we will always be provided with a way to escape any temptation that comes our way. However, this will definitely require action on our part. This concept also applies to emotional and other challenges. Although we may be afflicted with such conditions, God will provide a way for our healing that will most assuredly require action on our part. We'll also discuss the doctrine of spiritual gifts, what these include, and how they can help us overcome challenges and become a blessing to others.
Dr. Woodger continues to explore spiritual gifts, administrative challenges, and cultural customs of Paul’s days and how they differ from today.
