After an unexpected 5-month podcast break, we're back with our most vulnerable episode yet. While Every Woman A Theologian kept going, we had to pause the podcast to navigate some of life's biggest challenges. What does it look like to live out theology in the middle of pain and difficulty? Here's the real story of why we stepped back from podcasting and how we've had to practice what we preach in our darkest moments.  

In This Episode:

 * Living Out Theology in Real Life
 * Why we paused the podcast
 * Walking through secondary infertility and loss
 * Balancing ministry travel with family crisis
 * A prophetic dream that sustained our faith
 * Getting ready to meet our miracle baby
 * The ministry work that continued behind the scenes

🙏 Prayer Requests: Pray for baby Olivera as we welcome her into our family, and for wisdom as we navigate this new season of ministry.  

📅 What's Coming:

 * Verity Conference 2024 session reruns
 * Verity Conference 2025: October 3-4 (online)
 * Returning to Ancient Heresies podcast series
 * New 2026 series (we want your input!)

This interview is included in our new Freedom from Legalism course which launches today, March 28th!

156 | Chatting with a 4th Generation Member of "The Way" 2x2s

Salvation is found through faith in Jesus Christ alone—a truth that stands in contrast to a growing movement in the West of “Torah Observant Christians” who argue that Gentile believers must follow Old Testament laws to secure salvation. Phylicia, however, emphasizes a key distinction: while Jewish Christians may observe these laws as part of their cultural heritage and historical connection, such practices are not necessary for salvation.    ————————————————

152 | How Gnosticism Contradicts Christian Teaching

Phylicia Masonheimer delves into the historical heresy of Arianism, which denied the full divinity of Jesus Christ, highlighting its unexpected resurgence in the theologies of Jehovah's Witnesses and Latter-Day Saints.

You'll explore a detailed examination of how these groups subtly alter biblical scripture and reinterpret key passages to portray Jesus as a created being, rather than co-equal with God.
