In this week's episode we are talking about the fate of the apostles. Were they martyred? How do we know? Does it actually matter if we know?

I got hung up a lot of times on if and how we know that the apostles were martyred, because sometimes there are conflicting reports. In this episode we talk about the fact that even them knowing that martyrdom was a possibility tells us a lot about their sincere belief in the resurrection. Enjoy the episode

Today we are having a discussion about all things anxiety, worry, and weight loss as a Christian .

Abby talks about what she has been struggling with recently and what God has to say about it. The discussion dives into pride, vanity, anxiety, comparison, trusting God, and if anxiety is a sin. It all comes down to how we live out our lives while trusting in God's sovereign plan. Enjoy!

How do we know if Jesus rose again? Who did he appear to? Howe do we know that these accounts can be trusted? What surrounding evidence is there for or against the resurrection?

We talk about all of this and more!
