Emotional Manipulation In The Modern Church | Ep 36

There can be a lot of emotional manipulation happening in the modern church today. What should our perception be about the types of methods and practices used in the church today that could be doing more harm than good? While it isn’t usually intentional, how do we respond to this problem? Does Scripture offer a solution?

“Jesus is my boyfriend” worship songs are weird and gross | Ep 34

There is a popular trend in modern worship music today that needs to end. And that is the genre: “Jesus is my boyfriend” worship songs. You may have heard some of these songs before; songs full of allegorical, romanticized, poetic lyrics that sound more similar to a love song you would sing to your boyfriend. But we’re singing these songs to the God of the universe? Mackenzie dissects some examples of this type of lyricism and how we can learn to be sure the songs we sing during worship are songs full of spirit and of truth.

My Thoughts On The Passion 2025 Conference | Ep 33

Hi, friends! In the first episode of the year, we're talking about the annual Passion conference. What even is this event and what happens at Passion? Is an actual move of God happening or is it just 'a show'? What can be learned from Passion and youth conferences in general? Should we be concerned over different teachers\worship leaders that are apart of Passion? Where is the line drawn between reaching the lost and simply entertaining them? Mackenzie shares insight into types of events like Passion and how we can apply Scripture to answer these questions.

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.
