equipping the saints, teaching God's Word, sharing the Gospel of Jesus, meeting practical needs, loving extravagantly
I clearly remember a time in my late twenties when I was driving with the windows rolled down and had the music blasting as I drove the back roads. I felt immortal and pretty comfortable with life. At that time we had a sweet family of four and really, the hardest thing for me that I had walked through at…
“Trust me. I promise.” How many times have I heard, or even uttered this phrase? Why is it we have to convince someone to trust us, or, why do we need to be convinced?

Ugh. It was the worst. There were small…
Do we really need to read and understand the Old Testament? Isn’t knowing Jesus in the New Testament enough? How do I even begin to study books like Leviticus, and why is it necessary? In this episode of the Arise Ministries Collective Podcast, Lisa continues her discussion with Ellen Newman in an effort to understand how historical context changes the…
