SPF 035: TShirt Theology & The Real Character of Jesus

She Proves Faithful

03/29/17 • 30 min

Is Jesus my home boy? My boyfriend? I mean what about at the very least, My sugar daddy? Our culture tosses around some characteristics of Jesus that sound hip, or cool, or go down smooth to the listen, but are they true? If not, are there dangers in believing things that Jesus isn’t? Today we are discussing five things Jesus is AND isn’t.

Let us build up our faith by knowing the true characteristics of God!

TShirt Theology - 5 Things Jesus Isn't - and IS

Jesus is my boyfriend : Jesus is the Husband to the Church
Jesus is my cheerleader : Jesus receives our praise because He is God
Jesus is my fairy god-mother : Jesus is Sovereign - our Authority
Jesus is my fire insurance : Jesus is our Grace, which allows us to obey Him
Jesus is my homeboy: Jesus is our Lord

We need to learn to recognize when our catchy, trendy phrases do not accurately describe or represent our Lord and Savior. Otherwise, our minds can start to believe what is untrue about God, but also we represent false things about our Lord to the world.

Learn to be good stewards of the Gospel by rightly understanding trending phrases or ideologies about God.

Learn about the Lordship of Jesus Christ!

A great resource to gain discernment and understanding is to look at the Lordship of Jesus Christ in the believer's life.

Episode 23: Christmas Traditions & Holy Day Holidays

She Proves Faithful

12/19/16 • 31 min

There’s nothing like a little fireside chat discussing our warm winter wishes. Today is a special episode where my husband and I invite you into the background of our Christmas traditions, what makes this holiday a holy day, and discuss the forgotten line in Joy to the World. It’s festive, it’s fun, it’s a Christmas spectacular podcast.

Fireside Chat with Andy Hlushak

Discover some of our childhood Christmas traditions and what we are doing with our family now and learn a great way to form opinions and traditions by some learned wisdom from an old guy with a sweet mustache. This really is such a fun, cheery Christmas episode. We hope you laugh a lot and learn about the JOY given to this world.

Tree Bark Recipe!

Now I want you to know, I was making this long before Miss Trisha Yearwood posted this but she's got a little video and great instructions - so take it away Trisha! Here's the recipe for the toffee bark (sans graham crackers -ew Andy).

My TWO changes - don't use a whole cup o brown sugar. You just need 3/4 cup. Save at least one tooth from a cavity this Christmas. Good luck to all the others! ;) And sprinkle some chopped walnuts on top to balance the sweet.

Episode 19: Cracking the Man Code

She Proves Faithful

11/21/16 • 34 min

These invisible boundaries and cause disrespect to our husbands - even when we didn’t mean to! Today SPF guest Katie Brown is laying down the 411 on this Man Code and giving us some insightful tips to show respect to our men and help our marriages.

Subscribe on iTunes and leave a review: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/podcast-she-proves-faithful/id1116242133?mt=2

What is the "Man Code?"

Ephesians 5:33 says, “Let each one of you love his wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband." The "Man Code" not exposing negative or weak things of our husbands in the public sphere. There is a general set of topics that are safe to steer clear of talking about in public. They should be reserved for just you and your husband out of respect for him. There are four areas that men generally like to keep quiet about:

finances
health
feelings
failures

We show great respect to our husbands when we try and understand these sensitive topics that we can avoid in public conversations. Respect is discovering what honors our husbands and what dishonors him. Respecting our husbands actually serve to advance the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Two Solutions for Respecting the Man Code

1. Talk to your husband about the issue in private and come to a resolution

2. Ask for permission from your husband if you want to share that information with someone else

Episode 17: The Five Solas of the Reformation (and how to teach them)

She Proves Faithful

10/31/16 • 36 min

There are five "solas" that represent the five foundations of Christianity brought about in the 16th century through the Reformation. When we know them and teach them we gain wisdom, understanding, faith, and a biblical worldview for the glory of God. Today we are talking about the five sola’s and five ways to teach them, to ourselves, our children, and others.

Hey! Thanks for listening - make this podcast more accessible by rating and review on itunes! It would bless my socks - and blessed socks are very nice ;)

https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/podcast-she-proves-faithful/id1116242133?mt=2

The Five Solas

Sola Scriptura (“Scripture alone”)

"All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work." 2 Timothy 3:16-17

"I have stored up your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you." Psalm 119:11

"For whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction, that through endurance and through the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope." Romans 15:4

Sola Fide (“faith alone”)

"For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them." Ephesians 2:8-10

Sola Gratia (“grace alone”

"In love he predestined us for adoption to himself as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will, to the praise of his glorious grace, with which he has blessed us in the Beloved. In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace, which he lavished upon us, in all wisdom and insight." Ephesians 1:5-8

Solus Christus (“Christ alone”)

"For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all, which is the testimony given at the proper time. For this I was appointed a preacher and an apostle (I am telling the truth, I am not lying), a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth." 1 Timothy 2:5-6

"He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son." Colossians 1:13

Soli Deo Gloria (“to the glory of God alone”)

"And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him." Colossians 3:17

How Do We Teach the Sola's?

1. Teach one sola a week with your kids, your spouse, a friend.

SPF 046: The Myth of Neutrality - Is there "middle" ground?

She Proves Faithful

07/19/17 • 32 min

Neutrality is a myth. But the world wants you to believe the lie that there is middle ground, a safe zone, a compromise. Tomato Tomato - But that’s all a lie and today we are going to unravel this myth and talk about three essential things in developing a biblical worldview.

Neutrality is a Myth

There is no one neutral. We know this because Jesus says in Matthew 12:30, "Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters.”

James 4:4 says, "You adulterous people! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God."

There is a for God and against God.

There is fearing the Lord and not fearing the Lord.

Everyone has a worldview

Everyone has a worldview - it’s the lens through which we interpret and understand the world and our lives; it’s the reason behind what we do; it’s our belief system that is they why behind our what.

Our worldview is either biblical or worldly.

The Worldly Worldview rooted in Secular humanism:

secular humanism is by definition "an outlook or system of thought attaching prime importance to human rather than divine or supernatural matters. Humanist beliefs stress the potential value and goodness of human beings, emphasize common human needs, and seek solely rational ways of solving human problems." (merrium webster dictionary)

Secular Humanism seen in the Bible - Romans 1:18-32

We need to heed Colossians 2:6-8:

"Therefore, as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him, 7 rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving. See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits

SPF 241: Why We Can't All Live "Our Truth"

She Proves Faithful

06/09/23 • 37 min

Pilate infamously asked, “What is truth?” when Jesus was on trial before him. Why is truth so important and why is it impossible for us all to live our own truths? And why is having thick skin and soft hearts important in our quest as ministers of truth?

Progress?
Progressive Christianity is a popular movement that seeks to progress Christianity forward rather than reforming Christianity back to Scripture.
The most dangerous thing about progressive Christianity is that there is no gospel. St. Augustine said, "you out to say plainly that you do not believe the gospel of christ. For to believe what you please, and not to believe what you please, is to believe yourselves and not the Gospel. Ultimately that is what the issue is. It is a belief in self and the ability for humanity to transform themselves and their community by their own power and ideals of love and justice.
So how do we make sense of progressive Christianity?
Matthew 21 The Parable of the Tenants
The issue with progressive Christianity and every other belief system is that it is at war with the authority of God. It is at war with His ways. For the chief priests and elders there was a pride in them and a love for their own authority that prohibited them from admitting that Jesus was from God and that Jesus was God.
Hold the Line in Your Home
Study the Christian creeds and confessions.
Creeds and confessions are actually wonderful tools to use and understand the Scriptures to help build up our faith with the truth that is found in the Word of God.
"Throughout church history it has been necessary for the church to adopt and embrace creedal statements to clarify the Christian faith and to distinguish true content from error and false representations of the faith. Such creeds are distinguished from Scripture in that Scripture is norma normans (“the rule that rules”), while the creeds are norma normata (“a rule that is ruled”)." RC Sproul

Should Women Know Theology?

Should women know theology - yes - actually, I think it’s imperative that we as women pursue the knowledge of theology. I think it’s imperative we become better THEOLOGIANS!

Theology: the study of God

Theology is not just an understanding of God, but an application of our understanding of God.

But everyone is a theologian because we all have a view of God.

Why is it imperative for women to know theology?

Because it gives us a right view of God.
It gives us a right view of ourselves.
It gives us a right view of our circumstances.
It shows Gods Lordship, Sovereignty, Wisdom, Love, Justice, Holiness - over all things.
It is TRUTH. and the truth sets us free.
“Truth works"

High view of theology with lead to more and more freedom.

LIFE HACK: Easy Fall Dessert for a Crowd

It would cost me our entire Christmas budget to bring a PSL to everyone at group get-togethers. Fret not, there is another easy dessert that won't break the bank, tastes like fall, and feeds a crowd.

Easy Crock - Pot Cinnamon Apples

*Note, that this is a Lauren recipe, which means I do a little of this and that - you make this your own! It would be hard to mess up - unless it caught on fire somehow. That's a hard recovery ;)

Feeds: 8-10

Time: prep 20 minutes - cook time varies (2 min to 3 hours)

Ingredients:

10-12 apples (I mix tart and sweet, like granny smith and some pink lady's or gala's) peeled, cored, and sliced
2 tbsp lemon juice (keep apples from browning)
1/2 cup of liquid like apple cider, pumpkin spiced cider, (i've even used some apple sauce diluted with water)
1 - 2 Tbsp corn starch
2 Tbsp melted butter
1/4 cup or less of sugar or brown sugar (to your taste)
drizzle of molasses (to taste)
sprinkle of cinnamon (to taste) I use about 1 tsp
Vanilla icecream

Instructions:

coat apples in lemon juice and put in crock pot or insta-pot
in a separate bowl, mix corn starch and cider (or liquid) until lumps are out
add melted butter, sugar, molasses, cinnamon, to liquid mixture and stir
drizzle over apples and stir to coat
Set crock pot to low for 3 hours or Instapot to 2 minutes high pressure (then manual release).
After cooked to desired softness, ladle over two scoops of ice cream

The Reluctant Disciple-maker

God has given every Christian a calling: to go make disciples of all nations. Matthew 28:19-20

A disciple is a student or follower of Christ.

Discipleship isn't just about intellect or organization!

Sometimes there are obstacles to fulfilling our calling and it makes us reluctant to obey.

Today we looked at Ananias in Acts 9:10-25 and how we can be encouraged to GO even when it seems impossible, painful, intimidating, and unknown.

Five Hopes for the reluctant disciple-maker

NO 1: Go anyway

We need to be obedient even when we don’t understand because WE CAN TRUST God!

NO 2: It's not about us.
