In this episode of Honestly, Though, Rebecca Carrell and Liz Rodriguez sit down with pastor Matt Love to rethink the way Christians approach funerals. Drawing from his Christianity Today article, Love explores how American culture often gives grief only “two weeks and a casserole” while many services quietly remove the gospel from the moment it’s needed most. Together they discuss the place of lament, the hope of resurrection, and how the church can proclaim Christ even in the shadow of death.

Matthew D. Love, PhD, is an Assistant Professor of Preaching and Ministry at Harding School of Theology, where he trains and mentors the next generation of preachers and church leaders. He holds a PhD in preaching from Baylor University, along with an MDiv from Harding School of Theology and a BA in Bible from Harding University. In addition to his academic work, Love has spent many years in congregational ministry and preaching, including serving as preaching minister for the Beebe Church of Christ in Arkansas. His writing focuses on preaching, pastoral theology, and the life of the church, and his work has appeared in outlets such as Christianity Today.

Genesis 38 interrupts Joseph’s story with a scandal. Or so we’ve been told.


But what if Tamar isn’t a seductress? What if she isn’t a vixen, a manipulator, or a cautionary tale? What if she is the most righteous person in the room? In this episode, Rebecca Carrell and Liz Rodriguez sit down with theologian Chad Bird to take a fresh look at Judah and Tamar.

Tamar refuses to quietly disappear when Judah withholds justice. She refuses to let the covenant line die. And in doing so, she becomes the catalyst for Judah’s transformation—the very man whose tribe would carry the scepter, and whose descendant would be Jesus Himself. This is not a story about scandal. It’s a story about courage. About righteousness. About a woman who would not be erased.

If you’ve ever wrestled with the uncomfortable corners of Scripture, this conversation will remind you: sometimes the women we’ve misunderstood are the very ones moving redemption forward.

Chad Bird is a biblical scholar and theologian who serves with 1517.org, where he writes, teaches, and hosts podcasts focused on the riches of Scripture and the heart of the gospel.

A former professor of Old Testament and Hebrew, Chad is known for his Christ-centered approach to the Old Testament and his ability to make complex biblical theology accessible and deeply pastoral. He is the author of several books, including The Christ Key and Unveiling Mercy, and is passionate about helping readers see Jesus woven throughout the entire biblical narrative.

Radha Vyas grew up in a loving Hindu family who welcomed her religious curiosity and encouraged her seeking. She attended church several times with friends, but always went back to her family's faith. Several years after college, she found herself depressed and exhausted, unable to do enough good to feel worthy of love. Everything changed when she started a new job and made friends with a couple of Christians. Radha's story will inspire you to press deeper into your own faith. Listen and share with someone who needs the everlasting love of Jesus this Advent season.

Traci Henegar always had a strong bond with her oldest son, Davis. So when his behavior began to change at fourteen years old, she knew something was wrong. She was right.

Now, Traci shares Davis's story of Substance Abuse Disorder to honor Davis and inform others about the dangers of prescription drugs.

If you grew up in Sunday School, chances are you learned the Ten Commandments at an early age. "Though shalt not steal, thou shalt not murder, thou shalt not take the Lord's name in vain."

Join Rebecca Carrell and Nika Spaulding as they sit down with Dr. Carmen Imes, Professor of Old Testament Studies at Biola University, to discuss what it means to bear God's name and why we need the Old Testament to understand God's will for our lives.

Karen Cook graduated from Auburn University in 1998 with a Bachelor’s of Science in Zoology and earned her Master’s in Neuroscience from Florida State in 2001. Karen’s research involved studying the proteins responsible for conducting electricity in the brain. She went on to work at Pfizer discovering potential new drugs for psychiatric diseases. It all came crashing down when she was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder and no longer able to function in the high-pressure environment she'd navigated for years. She now studies at Dallas Theological Seminary and joins the show to talk about the challenge of living with chronic mental illness and how the church—and the Christian community—can help.

Wayne Reid had just come home from Colorado where he, his wife Natalie, and their three boys had enjoyed an outdoor vacation of hiking and whitewater rafting. It was the last vacation they would take as a family. Natalie arrived home from work two days later to find Wayne collapsed on their bathroom floor from a massive heart attack.

As she navigated the grief journey, the Lord put a vision on her heart to minister to widows, and Broken Halos Haven was born. Now Natalie and her new husband have renovated two homes where widowed parents can take their children at no charge.
