This spring, we're going through a relationship series. Part one is all about singleness. What does the Bible say about singleness? Does Paul say that singleness is better than marriage? Or is marriage better than singleness? All these questions and more will be answered in today's episode!
Also, coming up in June will be a Q&A episode! If you have any relationship questions you want answered (or any questions about what the Bible says about different topics!), leave a comment on this episode or send me a DM on Instagram so I can answer them!

Have you ever felt discouraged about your walk with the Lord? Do you ever feel like it’s three steps forward and one step back—or one step forward and three steps back when it comes to growing in Christ? I know exactly how that feels! The answer lies with understanding the process of sanctification. In today’s episode, we’re going to unpack what sanctification is and how the grace of God works in our lives. I hope you’ll walk away encouraged! Shop our study resources here: payhip.com/kelseyleewritesllc

Today on the podcast, we're discussing a trend I recently learned about on Tiktok contrasting the Proverbs 31 and Judges 4 woman and asking the questions: can we really compare the Proverbs 31 woman and the Judges 4 woman, is it really an either-or situation, and what does it look like to be a godly woman?

Today on the podcast, we’re diving into the topic of friendship! Gen Z is one of the loneliest generations in history, despite all the technology that was supposed to help us feel more connected than ever. What does the Bible say about friendships? What about friendships that are difficult? And how do I find a good friend? We’ll be diving into all those questions in today’s episode!

Today on the podcast, I’m joined by Tina Marie, a recent high-school grad with a passion for sharing the gospel with Gen-Z, to discuss self-harm. This is a big issue among Gen-Z, so we sat down to talk about it from a biblical perspective. I know you’ll walk away encouraged by Tina’s wisdom!

In today’s episode, I sit down with Louise Hall, RN to tackle the question, is God really pro-life? This episode is a little longer than usual, but I hope you’ll stick around for the whole thing because Louise has some amazing truth to share with us about this very important topic of life, from when does life begin, to what God thinks about abortion, to how we should view end-of-life care. I know you’ll be inspired by her knowledge and passion for this topic! (Also, if you might hear her baby talking away in the background for the first half of this episode!)
