  Keep Hope Alive with Justin Giboney

  Aug 19, 202637 min

  Between the news cycle and our social media feeds, life in our country can feel overwhelming and chaotic right now. In moments like this, it's easy to lose hold of the hope that justice and shalom are actually possible. In today's episode, Yana and Elizabeth sit down with Justin Giboney to explore how Christians can faithfully respond to the unrest of our current cultural moment. Together, they discuss the inspiration we can draw from Scripture and the Great Cloud of Witnesses, wisdom that can carry us past cynicism and toward a genuine and resilient hope. Guest Bio: Justin Giboney Questions Covered In This Episode What do you see as the primary sources stirring up this sense of never ending political/social chaos that seems to keep getting worse? How do you see Christians actually responding to this political/social chaos? Both online and offline? How much of our issue is connected to our theology of suffering or, said another way, how we corporately process and move forward in seasons of prolonged difficulty? The challenge of dealing with a tumultuous political or social reality is not a new problem? Where can we find inspiration for how to hold onto hope? What is a moral imagination, and how does it help us move past cynicism toward real hope?

  Why Women Are Leaving The Church (with Dr. Sandra Glahn)

  Aug 5, 202658 min

  The role of women in the church is a topic that usually sparks a lot of debate. But in the middle of that conversation, a more important question often gets lost: how can the church help women flourish? In today's episode, Yana and Elizabeth talk with Dr. Sandra Glahn to tackle that question. They explore the role of women in the church through historical, theological, and practical perspectives—and discuss how, regardless of their theological position, churches can help women flourish, create space for them to lead, and build meaningful partnership alongside their brothers in ministry. Questions Covered In This Episode What do you think is driving women to leave the church, or leave the faith altogether? What for women has changed in our current culture that is contributing to this problem? How does a conversation about how women are valued, developed and invested in get lost in the debate about women in ministry? Regardless of a church's position on leadership roles, what do women need in order to flourish spiritually, relationally, and in their gifting? Can you share about a church that's gotten this right, where women are genuinely thriving? What did leadership do specifically? If you could speak directly to a woman struggling with whether or not she should leave her church, what would you want her to know?

  Fig Leaves and Yokes: Finding Our Way Out of Shame to Shalom

  Jul 14, 202651 min

  Shame is a powerful emotion. This makes sense, considering it is one of the first negative human emotions we encounter in Scripture. After Adam and Eve sinned against God, their first instinct was to cover themselves with fig leaves and go into hiding. Since then, however, we've become more creative. Shame not only drives us into lives of masking and hiding, but also into lives of performance and spiritual over-functioning beneath ill-fitting yokes. In this episode, Elizabeth and Yana have an honest conversation about the many ways shame can shape our lives. Together, they explore how shame manifests in both subtle and obvious ways, our attempts to cover it with fig leaves or out-perform it with ill-fitting yokes, and how Jesus offers us a better way to live. If you struggle with shame or perfectionism, we hope this conversation will help you enter into the rest and freedom Christ died for you to enjoy. Questions Covered In This Episode How would you define shame? What are some ways we try to cover our shame with fig leaves? What is a yoke? What ill-fitting yokes can we put on to try to out-perform our shame? What is the yoke Jesus offers? How does the gospel liberate us from shame? What are some practical ways we can come to Jesus in response to His invitation in Matthew 11:28-30?

  When Our Heroes Fall w/Lisa V. Fields

  Jun 30, 202659 min

  "Nobody's outside the possibility of moral failure." — Lisa V. Fields In a broken world filled with fallen people, these words are sobering—but true. When a ministry leader we admire falls into sin, the impact can reach far beyond disappointment. The pastor whose sermons strengthened your faith, the Bible teacher who helped you understand Scripture, or the Christian influencer whose content encouraged your walk with God can suddenly become the source of confusion, grief, and even spiritual disillusionment. Their failure can leave us questioning not only them, but also the faith they once helped nurture. In this episode, Elizabeth and Yana are joined by Lisa V. Fields, founder of The Jude 3 Project and author of When Heroes Fall: Healing from the Aftermath of Sin. Together, they have an honest and compassionate conversation about hero worship, the tension between mercy and accountability, and how to hold on to faith when someone you respect has failed. Lisa, Elizabeth, and Yana share candidly about moments when their own faith was shaken by the moral failures of ministry leaders and discuss the biblical truths that helped them regain their footing. They explore how to process grief, disappointment, and distrust without allowing another person's sin to define your relationship with God. If you've found yourself discouraged, wounded, or questioning your faith in the aftermath of a ministry leader's failure, this conversation is for you. Our prayer is that, despite the failures of human leaders, you would cling afresh to the faithfulness of the One who never fails. Questions Covered In This Episode What personal experiences and observations of the church and church leadership led you to write this book? Why do you think that a ministry leader’s moral failure tends to impact someone’s faith in God? There are our parasocial heroes and IRL (in real life) heroes. Why do you think it's important for us to keep this distinction in mind when navigating our hurt and disappointment when our heroes fall? What truths from God’s Word do we need to hold onto when our heroes fall? How do we seek the restoration of those who have been directly impacted by the moral failures of others? Why do you think the church has historically given more attention to the restoration of fallen heroes than victims? When a hero falls, how do we faithfully live in the tension of doing justice on behalf of the offended and loving mercy in response to the offender? How would you encourage someone who is struggling in their faith in the aftermath of a ministry leader’s moral failure?
