What does it trulymean to be a woman in today’s world? It’s a question our culture is wrestling with more than ever — and yet, the answers seem harder to find. Someone even had to make a movie just to ask it, and we still walked away without a clear response! But here’s the truth: God has never been confused. He designed womenwith intention, purpose, and extraordinary care — and His Word has a lot to say about it.This week, Rebecca Davis is back in the studio with Jon and Chuck for a conversation that is both timely and deeply needed. Rebecca dives into the heart of Women’s Ministries — what they are, why they matter, and why they may be one of the most important resources available to women today. Whether you’re someone who has been involved in women’s ministry for years or you’ve never quite understood what it’s all about, this episode will open your eyes to the power of women comingtogether around God’s Word.Rebecca will unpack why women’s ministries are so vital in a world overflowing with noise, competing voices, and cultural confusion. She’ll walk you through what you can realistically expect when you step into a women’s ministry, how it cantransform your faith and your relationships, and what the overarching God-centered goal of these ministries truly is. And here’s the bonus you (maybe) didn’t see coming: Glen Davis is joining the conversation too! Glen offers a rare and refreshing perspective — the husband’s point of view. He shares firsthand how Rebecca’s commitment to women’s ministry has shaped not just her faith, but their marriage, their home, and their family as a whole. It’s a powerful reminder that when women are rooted in God’s Word and surrounded by a strong community, everyone around them flourishes.

What does it truly mean to be a man in today’s world? Growing up in modern society, we’re constantly bombarded with conflicting messages about masculinity — from pop culture, social media, and a world that seems more confused than ever about what manhood should look like. We search for role models, for examples worth following, but so often come up empty. The good news? God’s Word doesn’t leave us guessing. From cover to cover, Scripture paints a vivid picture of what a godly man looks like — and Jesus himself modeled it perfectly.In this conversation, Chuck and Jon sit down with their good friends Glen and Rebecca Davis for an honest, eye-opening discussion about what it looks like to pursue that standard in real life. Glen has been on the front lines of Men’s Ministry, and he shares firsthand why a ministry dedicated to men isn’t just a nice idea — it’s a necessity. He breaks down what the ministry actually does, the real impact it has on the men who get involved, and why every church needs something like it. But the conversation doesn’t stop there. Rebecca joins in to offer her perspective as a wife, sharing how Glen’s commitment to growing as a godly man has transformed their marriage and strengthened their family in ways she never expected. It’s raw, it’s real, and it’s exactly the kind of conversation men — and the women who love them — need to hear.  Come join us!Hey there, podcast lovers! We hope you're having a great time tuning in!

What does it really mean to serve others — and why does it matter so much to the Christian life? Serving isn’t just a nice idea or a box to check on Sunday morning. It’s a calling woven into the very fabric of who we’re meant to be as followers of Jesus. From something as seemingly small as holding the door open for a stranger or handing someone a cup of coffee, to making a real sacrifice of your time and energy for someone when it’s genuinely inconvenient — every act of service carries weight and meaning.Jesus didn’t just talk about serving others. He modeled it radically and consistently — washing feet, feeding crowds, stopping for the one person everyone else walked past. He set the standard, and now the question is: are we living it out? Not just in the big, dramatic moments, but in the everyday, ordinary ones too.Chuck and Jon are back for a rich and honest conversation about this concept of serving others — what it looks like in real life, why we sometimes resist it, and what it truly means to embrace a servant’s heart as a Christian today.Hey there, podcast lovers!

You’ve probably heard it said: “Change your playground, change your playmates.” Maybe you’ve even caught yourself calling your pre-faith years your “B.C. days” — and, if you’re honest, quietly applying that label to a few old friends too. But what do you do when the people you love most never made the same leap of faith you did? It gets complicated, especially when the advice from the stage seems to clash with what you actually read in your Bible — like the fact that Jesus was constantly surrounded by people who didn’t believe.
