Marked with Angie Elkins and Elizabeth Hyndman

To help explain how Christmas answers the pressing questions of human hearts, we're taking a closer look at Hebrews chapter 2 with Christy Thornton. In this episode, listen to Christy and Elizabeth discuss how the Christmas story gives God’s resounding “You matter to me!” You matter so much that the Son of God became human because you are human.

This will be our last episode of 2024 while we take our Christmas break! We'll see you in the new year on January 6.

Esther is someone we talk about quite a bit in women's ministry spaces, but Kelly Minter is here to give us deeper insight into the book of Esther.

We were drawn to Tracie Miles' new book, God's Got You, because of the topic of embracing new beginnings with courage and confidence and remembering that God never changes. We can all relate to entering a life transition and feeling anxious, whether that transition is to something we’ve looked forward to or something we never saw coming. We loved this conversation with Tracie as she shared encouragement for women entering a time of transition, as well as how we can support our friends entering a new season.

In a political climate where people are often fighting online and in other venues, many people try to stop the fighting by making the claim that Jesus wasn’t political, or at least didn’t have a political agenda in His ministry, and therefore we shouldn’t be political either. Patrick Schreiner, author of Political Gospel: Public Witness in a Politically Crazy World, joins us today to shed some light on this claim. In this episode, hear Patrick's view on how believers can be appropriately political in line with their Christian faith.

On Fridays in April, we're dropping an extra episode to make sure you know about some other Lifeway podcasts that we think you would enjoy. Today, we're sharing episode one of The Karen Kingsbury Show. We think you'll love this storytelling podcast!

Karen Kingsbury has told a million stories, but this is the first time she's told HER story!  Out of all of her bestsellers, Karen wants to be remembered for the stories she wrote with the days of her life. On her first ever podcast, Karen hopes and prays throughout these next sixteen episodes you'll see yourself in the stories she shares.

In today's show, you'll hear the story of how Karen and her husband Donald met and began dating. It's a crazy love story that involves a shocking twist and a beautiful revelation. It's a story of grace, mercy, and two people who learned to never give up on the people God has put in the story of your life.

Thanks for listening and sharing this episode with a friend! Listen to the next episode to hear all about their wedding, choosing a church, and how they learned nothing was impossible with God.

On Fridays in April, we're dropping an extra episode to make sure you know about some other Lifeway podcasts that we think you would enjoy. Today, we're sharing an episode of The Glass House with Ben and Lynley Mandrell talking with Nicole Zasowski.

Have you ever asked your spouse a simple question, like, "whats for dinner?" and all of a sudden they're making a snarky comment back to you? Have you ever found yourself responding out of irritation and frustration when your spouse or kids simply ask you a question? On today's show Nicole Zasowski describes to us what happens when we are operating in our pain cycle, how we can regulate our emotions, and why the simplest of questions can push us over the edge.

Nicole Zasowski is a marriage and family therapist outside of New York City. She is an author of Lost to Found and What If It's Wonderful, along with being a full time mom and wife. She also has a Bible Study resource coming soon through Lifeway!

Kristi McLelland joins us in a special episode that features behind-the-scenes audio captured in Israel during the Luke in the Land Bible study taping.

Today, we're sharing an episode of His Glory, Her Good, hosted by Amanda Mejias and Corinne Allen, where they talk about fighting shame with special guest "Aunt P."

Whether dealing with our own shame or helping teen girls fight shame in their lives, this is a topic that can't be avoided when leading in student ministry.

On Fridays in April, we're dropping an extra episode to make sure you know about some other Lifeway podcasts that we think you would enjoy. Today, we're sharing an episode of Let It Shine with Angie Elkins and Whitney Capps on tending the temple versus body positivity.

Body positivity is a social movement that promotes a positive view of all bodies, regardless of the shape, size, weight, and so forth. But we want to take it deeper. Yes, we can accept our bodies the way they are to an extent, but Angie and Whitney are here to talk about the fact that we also have a responsibility to our bodies. 

Angie and Whitney have a vulnerable conversation about their own unique journeys, the complexities of our bodies, the messages we tell ourselves about them, and how we function in them as temples of the Holy Spirit. 

Go follow Angie and Whitney on Instagram and share your thoughts on body positivity. Thanks for listening and sharing this episode with a friend! You can listen to more episodes of Let It Shine here.

We often think of art and beauty when think of Hannah's writing, so we loved our conversation with her about what place art and beauty have in Ecclesiastes. 

Plus, listen to the end of the episode to hear the final part of Edouard Ndecky's story in our special four-part series about Operation Christmas Child. This week, Edouard shares how Operation Christmas Child has marked him on this side of the shoebox as he has had the opportunity to tell of God's faithfulness through his story. National Collection Week is November 13–20, 2023, and you can help shape a child’s life by packing a shoebox gift too!

This week on the MARKED Podcast, we talked with Melissa Kruger about leadership. She shared how she developed a passion for helping women discover their calling to leadership, as well as how she's seen God's faithfulness in her leadership journey. We discuss why it's important for women to lean into their own leadership development, and how one of the discrepancies we often see for women in leadership—especially in ministry—is either the financial resources or support given to attend leadership conferences. How can women be an advocate for asking their leader to see this need? Listen in to find out!

ABOUT ANTHONY EVANS

Growing up in a family of accomplished speakers and authors: father, Dr. Tony Evans, and siblings, Chrystal Evans Hurst, Priscilla Shirer, and Jonathan Evans; Anthony chose to be a worship leader, singer and producer. In a music industry with pre-defined sounds, Anthony decided to make his own path with his unique genre crossing, one-of-a-kind style. As the son of a world-renowned pastor, Anthony left the comforts of Dallas, Texas, (and the Bible-belt) and took his talent and entrepreneurial abilities to Los Angeles. For more than two decades, his career has been about breaking down walls and taking unexpected routes to bring his faith and influence and impact outside of the church walls.

This impact includes 10 solo records, two of which hit the #1 spot on Billboard’s Top Gospel Album charts, Vocal production for TV/Film, record production, acting, songwriting, talent production, a starring role in Disney’s Hollywood Bowl Production of Beauty and the Beast, and a spot on the hit TV show, The Voice.

In addition to all of these endeavors, Anthony has written or co-written three books, the latest—When Faith Meets Therapy, with psychotherapist Stacy Kaiser. This project addresses the intersection of his faith with the practicality of psychotherapy. 

In whatever he accomplishes, Anthony’s desire is to share his life and authentic faith with transparency and honesty: “I am sure of this, that he who started a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus” (Phil. 1:6).

Today we welcome Adrienne Camp back to the podcast to discuss her new Bible study, As for Me! Adrienne shares how she landed on the title of the study, why she believes it’s important to look for Jesus in the pages of the Old Testament, and a few behind-the-scenes stories of filming the teaching videos in Southern California.

In the As for Me Bible study, Adrienne invites you to join her on a journey through the book of Psalms. Gain a deeper understanding of who God is and be encouraged to hold on to Him no matter what is happening around you. Let the psalms become the prayers you carry with you into every moment of every day, so that you, too, can say with confidence, “As for me, I will worship and serve the Lord no matter what.”

How can women still have hope and peace in the midst of longing? Listen in to our conversation to learn!

Today we welcome Vaneetha Risner to discuss her new Bible study, Desperate for Hope. Have you ever asked, Why am I going through this? What if this never gets better?

In her 7-session study, Vaneetha tackles the hard questions and offers a scriptural framework to help you find hope in your pain. She will be a gracious guide through this difficult topic, walking with you as you meet women in the Bible who suffered loss, and sharing her own experiences of longing and grief. In the end, you’ll find that the answers to your deepest questions can be found in the character, goodness, and sovereignty of God. Listen in to learn more about Vaneetha’s study and how experiencing God and suffering has marked her.

As a conclusion for the When You Pray series of podcast episodes, we’re offering something a little different today. This episode is a guided prayer episode. So, you might want to come back to it another time or take a moment to get into a posture of prayer before listening, both in your physical posture—you may prefer to sit, kneel, or walk—and in the posture of your soul. You’ll hear the women of When You Pray lead you through different kinds of prayers with space built in for you to voice your own prayers to God. You might prefer to say those out loud or grab a notebook to jot them down. Feel free to pause the podcast at any time. We’d recommend listening to this one at normal speed.

Whether it’s a warm croissant, a bright bowl of fruit, a piece of cake, or a steaming cup of coffee put in front of her, author and Bible teacher Erin Davis has experienced all sorts of complicated responses to food, too. She’s discovered that God’s Word celebrates food as a gift while simultaneously inviting us to surrender every area of our lives—including what we put on our plates. Rather than the yo-yo of loving food versus hating it, Erin invites you to accept Scripture’s invitation into a different, nourishing, and refreshing rhythm.

Erin Davis is a writer and teacher passionately committed to getting women of all ages to the deep well of God’s Word.

Join us as we welcome our first guest of 2023, Jen Wilkin, as we discuss her new Bible study, Abide! How can we hold onto assurance of our faith? How can we discern the truth from a lie? How can we know God loves us? In these three short letters, the apostle John reminds an early church facing division, deception, and doubt to hold fast to what they know and to live like they believe it. And he reminds us, as well. In this 10-session Bible study on the letters of 1, 2, and 3, John, Jen Wilkin helps you see how two thousand years later, his words call to Christians in similar challenges to recall a great salvation and to abide in the truth.

Join us to learn ways you can be a part of this impactful ministry. Enjoy!Izabella McMillon grew up during the communistic regime in Romania when even attending a church could have resulted in death. Finding a hidden Bible in their home, Izabella and her brother began secretly attending church weekly. When she was 13 years old, Izabella received a colorful shoebox gift. For her, the gift was life-changing, because it confirmed God’s existence and unconditional love. She finally understood that this God that she was reading about in the Bible cared for her. Since that day, Izabella has come to the United States and introduced the shoebox project to churches, schools and her own children.Show Notes:Operation Christmas ChildHow to pack a shoeboxBuild a shoebox onlineMore information about Operation Christmas Child:Operation Christmas Child delivers great joy and the Good News of Jesus Christ to children in need around the world through gift-filled shoeboxes. Operation Christmas Child collects more than 10 million gift-filled shoeboxes each year and distributes them to boys and girls in over 120 countries. In the hands of local churches around the world, shoeboxes become a tool for evangelism, discipleship & multiplication! Shoebox gifts are more than box of toys, school supplies, and hygiene items, each shoebox is an opportunity for a local church to share the Gospel and invite children into a discipleship program. Just last year in 2021, over 2.5 million children reported decisions for Christ while participating in the follow up discipleship program, The Greatest Journey! Purchase branded shoeboxes on our website or use your own from your closet Get your label on our website & decide what gender and age group you’re packing forFill with gifts (packing ideas & excluded items on our website) Most important step is praying over your shoebox for the child who will receive it! Donate $10 to cover shipping for shoebox Drop off during National Collection Week (Nov 14-21) at your nearest location!

Today we welcome Elizabeth Woodson to discuss her new study, From Beginning to Forever. Many Christians today are daunted by the Bible, seeing the size and scope of Scripture as intimidating and overwhelming. The result is often a fragmented understanding of parts of the Bible, which leads us to view it through the lens of our individual stories, primarily looking for different verses or passages to help us live our everyday lives. But, in our search for personal truth, we fail to see how the entirety of Scripture works together to show a bigger story—God's work to redeem and restore the entire world. Elizabeth Woodson is a bible teacher, writer, and speaker, who is passionate about communicating the rich theological truths of Scripture. She loves helping people internalize their faith and connect it practically to everyday life.Elizabeth works as the Institute Classes and Curriculum Director at The Village Church in Flower Mound, Texas where she teaches classes on the Bible, theology, and spiritual formation. She formerly worked as the Single Life Coordinator at Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship under the leadership of Senior Pastor Dr. Tony Evans. Elizabeth is a graduate of Dallas Theological Seminary with a Masters in Christian Education and a cohost of the podcast Culture Matters. Show Notes:From Beginning to Forever
