Strength to Strength welcomed Ryan Grove to discuss the ongoing conflict in Gaza.

The current conflict in Israel and Gaza gets large amounts of attention by many people who have very different viewpoints. We recognize and mourn the ongoing and recent human suffering by the inhabitants of these lands that are full of history and religious significance. We will look at some history and the viewpoints of different sides of the conflict. Most importantly, how can we as followers of Jesus communicate the message that Jesus’ kingdom is good for all.

Strength to Strength welcomed Jennifer Miller to discuss how singleness can be a blessing.

Sometimes we get the message that a woman most truly fulfills her purpose as a woman when she is in the role of wife and mother. A more robust understanding of God’s purpose for marriage, however, reveals that both singleness and marriage are intended to showcase God’s plan for His relationship with His people. Rather than being a second-rate position or a Plan B that I just need to make the best of, singleness allows believers to fill a vital role in the kingdom of God.

This talk aims to empower both single and married women to embrace the role they are currently in and to encourage each other to do the same.

Strength to Strength welcomed David Anderson to discuss the church’s development in understanding who Jesus is.

Is the Trinity just an abstract doctrine? Why did early Christians fight so hard to define who Jesus is? In this two-part episode, David Anderson breaks down the Trinity and Christology in simple terms showing how they are not just abstract ideas but central to our salvation, worship, and daily discipleship.

In Part 1, we will explore what it means to do theology, its risks, and why it’s a necessary Christian task. It will also explain why the Trinity and Christology aren’t just two doctrines among many: rather, they are the heartbeat of Christianity itself.

In this Part 2, we will explain the fundamentals of the Trinity and of Christology as well as exploring their scriptural and historical bases. It will, moreover, elaborate on both doctrines and explore why they are important for the Church. Ultimately, how can these realities help us grow in faithfulness to and fellowship with God?
