Leslie continues her Most Asked Questions series this week with a deep dive into the question "Why does it seem like women's ministries are often shallow?"

Leslie continues her Navigating Modern Christianity series with a powerful and timely message about how to honorably handle weakness in other believers and in the Church as a whole. Our human tendency is to expose weakness in others and draw attention to it. But when we allow God to overwhelm us with His supernatural, victorious love toward His Body, our entire perspective changes. That’s when we become His blanket carriers, letting love cover a multitude of sins. The episode challenges us to let God flood us with fervent love for those in our lives and give us eyes not to see their weakness, but His strength, hope and redemption.

Leslie continues her series on Navigating Modern Christianity by looking at the dangers of blending post-modern thinking into our Christianity. Mushy “Christian” messages have become common: messages that imply we can never be certain about what the Bible really means, and that there is no such thing as absolute Truth. As Leslie reminds us, if our feet do not remain planted firmly upon the solid rock of God’s Word, we will be susceptible to embracing their erroneous ideas and becoming weighed down by doubt and confusion. This message shows us that when we settle it in our heart that Scripture is Truth and that the Bible’s message is reality, we will not be shaken by the confusing, mushy messages that are flooding into modern Christianity.

This week Leslie continues her series on Navigating Modern Christianity with this poignant episode on the dangers of spiritual pride. As we seek to stand boldly for the Truth amid an apathetic and compromised Church, it is vital that we do so in the love and nature of Christ. As Leslie reminds us, it is all too easy to confuse godly discernment with a prideful and critical spirit. This message helps us more clearly see the difference between standing for Truth in a loving and God-honoring way vs becoming tool of discord and division within the Body of Christ. If you are concerned about things you see in the Church or in other Christians' lives, this episode will equip you to respond in a truly healthy way that will impact those around you, rather than pushing them away.

Leslie continues her new series on Navigating Modern Christianity with this powerful message on the "missing piece" in modern Christianity - Christ in us, the hope of glory. Instead of accepting defeat and mediocrity as normal, God can enable us to experience the amazing victory of a supernaturally transformed life - exchanging failure for faith and darkness for light. As Oswald Chambers once said, “When you know what God has done for you, the power and tyranny of sin is gone.” As Leslie shares, this amazing transformation cannot happen through even the very best of our human effort. It is only possible through the enabling power of God. We must choose to yield to His transforming work in our soul.

Leslie kicks off a new series this week called Navigating Modern Christianity. Her first episode, Gaining God's Heart for the Modern Church, tackles the concerns many of us have when we see the apathy, compromise, church splits, off-base doctrine, and discord that is so prevalent in the Church today. How should we respond when we see the widespread compromise in the lives of today's Christians? In this message, Leslie helps us see modern Christianity from God's perspective and gain His heart toward today's wayward believers. Leslie shows us from a Biblical perspective that there is hope for the modern Church, and it’s found in Jesus Christ. Instead of immediately responding with disgust and criticism, we are called to respond with prayer, humility and hope. This episode challenges us toward a mindset that says, "Lord, send a revival, and let it begin with me."
