  • Summary

  • Starting Place explores what Christians believe and why it matters when it comes to growing in our faith. As Christians, we should know what our Bible is about (not just the individual books but the one unified story it tells from Genesis to Revelation). We should understand the essential theological beliefs we hold to as Christians. We should know what discipleship looks like. We should know about church history, spiritual formation, and so much more. Each season, I will unpack one of these topics, and in every episode I will interview a new guest to explore a bit of what this topic means and why it matters in our daily lives. Because it's one thing to understand theology, and it's another thing to know how it connects to the most ordinary moments of our lives.

  • Church Mothers: Hannah's Contentment

    Church Mothers: Hannah's Contentment
    Apr 16 2025
    In this episode, we continue our Church Mothers series by reflecting on the life of Hannah, a woman who teaches us how to wait well, stay rooted in prayer, and trust God in seasons of longing.
    Main Takeaways:
    • Hannah didn’t run from her pain—she took it to the Lord.
    • Every believer will face a season of waiting. The question is not if you will wait, but how well you will wait.
    • Human solutions may offer temporary comfort, but only God provides lasting peace.
    • Philippians 4:6-7 reminds us that when we pray with thanksgiving, God’s peace will guard our hearts and minds.
    Reflection Question:
    What are you waiting on, and where are you tempted to take control instead of trusting God?

  • Church Mothers: Huldah's Courage

    Church Mothers: Huldah's Courage
    Apr 9 2025
    In today’s episode, we continue our Church Mothers series by learning from a bold and often overlooked woman in Scripture: Huldah. Though her story is short, her courage, clarity, and closeness to God offer deep wisdom for anyone trying to walk in faith—especially when it’s costly.
    Main Takeaways:
    • Faithfulness requires courage: Huldah didn’t hesitate to speak God’s truth, even when it wasn’t popular or safe.
    • Intimacy with God brings clarity: Her authority came from her nearness to God and her ability to discern His voice.
    • Obedience has a cost: Following God may mean losing the world’s approval—but it results in lasting fruit.
    • Fear is real, but God is greater: The Bible teaches us to see fear through the lens of God’s character—His power, presence, and patience.

    Reflection Question:
    In what area of your life do you need to move forward in courage? Is it a decision you need to make, a season of waiting you need to embrace, or a habit you need to release?

  • Church Mothers: Leaving A Spiritual Legacy

    Church Mothers: Leaving A Spiritual Legacy
    Apr 2 2025
    In this episode of Starting Place, we’re kicking off a new series inspired by a conversation about the need for church mothers—women who intentionally invest in the next generation of believers. We explore what it means to leave a spiritual legacy, looking at the lives of Lois and Eunice, the mother and grandmother of Timothy, and how their sincere faith influenced his own. This conversation challenges us to consider how we are shaping those around us, not just through what we teach but through the authenticity of our everyday lives.
    Main Takeaways:
    • Discipleship isn’t just about teaching in a classroom—it’s about how the overflow of our lives helps show others what it looks like to be faithful in any season of life.
    • Lois and Eunice were faithful examples of spiritual legacy, influencing Timothy through their sincere and consistent faith.
    • True faithfulness isn’t about perfection but about authenticity—how we live offline matters more than how we appear in our highlight reels online.
    Reflection Question:
    What kind of spiritual legacy are you leaving for those around you?
