Does God Still Speak To Us? | Ep 27

Inspired by a prior episode, this week’s episode will be focusing on if God is still audibly speaking to people today. What are the implications of this belief? Is God now silent? What does Scripture have to say about prophecy, and what would happen when God actually spoke in Biblical times? Mackenzie gets into all these questions and more, talking about her background growing up in church and the attitude we should have as Christians today regarding new revelation.

Should Christians Listen To Secular Music? A Worship Leader's Perspective | Ep 25

Christians are called to be set apart from the world. Does that mean they shouldn't listen to any secular music? What about other art forms? Other businesses? Where are Christians supposed to know where to draw the line? Mackenzie tackles this question by diving into what Scripture teaches on how we are to live our lives as Christians to still be in the world - but not of it.

Worship Leader Evaluates Lyrics Of Song "Goodness Of God" By Bethel Music | Ep 24

Mackenzie dives into another Bethel song in this episode. This time, she's evaluating the lyrics of "Goodness Of God." Very few avid church goers will not recognize this hugely popular song, as it is one of the biggest worship songs over the past 10 years. How do Bethel's lyrics compare to Scripture? Do the lyrics pass the biblical sniff test? Is that enough?

My Experience Dealing With Church Hurt | A Worship Leader's Perspective | Ep 23

Have you ever experienced 'church hurt'? Have you ever been a part of or worked at a church where politics ran rampant? Mackenzie opens up and shares her experience dealing with church hurt and some of her stories from working for a church. This raw, vulnerable conversation is one a lot of people can relate to if they've been apart of a church and served for a period of time. The goal of this conversation is not to tear down, but to be honest about the realities of a very real thing known as church hurt.

Reviewing Rediscover Bethel Series Ep 1 (Part 2) Guest: D.L. Holloway | Prophecy, Miracles, & Healing | Ep 22

We're back with my husband, Dakota (D.L.) Holloway to discuss more of the Rediscover Bethel series episode 1. In this episode, we cover Bill Johnson and Dann Farrelly's thoughts on how miracles can be 'imperfect' and the pressure put on believers to experience and perform miracles as an everyday occurence in the Christian life. How are we to understand and interpret miracles in the Bible? What are we to believe about sickness and healing?

Should We Sing Worship Music Written By False Teachers? | Ep 21

If a song is biblical or if it passes the theological sniff test, should we sing it in church? What if the song is written by a church or organization that teaches false teachings and is a false teacher? Do we sing it anyway? What does Scripture have to say about this issue? Is it a fallacy? Mackenzie dives into this controversial topic, addressing the issue of where our worship songs are coming from and why we should be so careful as to who and what organizations we support and allow into the church.
