It requires us to fight against shame and fear; when we do this, we can live more meaningful and purposeful lives - we can live "whole-hearted." This whole hearted living is the thrill of hope we have when we respond to Jesus and who he is as the exact radiance of God.  Becoming Whole & Holy: An integrative conversation about Christian formation

At times, prayer can feel awkward or uncomfortable; I truly believe that’s due to the vulnerable nature of prayer. If you’re new to praying or in a prayer slump, this episode is for you. Be encouraged to prioritize prayer by walking through the book of Habakkuk. You’ll learn that prayer doesn’t have to be perfect but rather is a muscle to be strengthened.   FREE THEOLOGY RESOURCES Connect with Monica Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/itsmonicaritchie/ Website: https://monicaritchie.com  

Is 1 Thessalonians 5:22 telling us to avoid every appearance of evil, every form, or every kind? In this exhortation given to us by the Apostle Paul, this verse can sometimes be misunderstood and lead us to showiness, weaponization of scripture, or prevent us from loving God and others well.  In this episode, we talk to Bible + Theology teacher Marissa Price about the context of this verse and what it’s motivating us towards. We discuss context, implication, translations, and some practical examples of how to live this out so we can love God and others well.     Monica Ritchie  FREE THEOLOGY RESOURCES Marissa Price: Bible + Theology Teacher

In this episode, you will walk through the popular phrase “You’re not enough,” we’ll dissect where it comes from, why someone might say it, and if it is biblically sound.
