Izabella McMillon joins us today to talk about Operation Christmas Child. Listen as we hear Izabella's shoebox story and how this unexpected gift of God's love was life-changing to her. Join us to learn ways you can be a part of this impactful ministry. Enjoy!Izabella McMillon grew up during the communistic regime in Romania when even attending a church could have resulted in death. Finding a hidden Bible in their home, Izabella and her brother began secretly attending church weekly. When she was 13 years old, Izabella received a colorful shoebox gift. For her, the gift was life-changing, because it confirmed God’s existence and unconditional love. She finally understood that this God that she was reading about in the Bible cared for her. Since that day, Izabella has come to the United States and introduced the shoebox project to churches, schools and her own children.Show Notes:Operation Christmas ChildHow to pack a shoeboxBuild a shoebox onlineMore information about Operation Christmas Child:Operation Christmas Child delivers great joy and the Good News of Jesus Christ to children in need around the world through gift-filled shoeboxes. Operation Christmas Child collects more than 10 million gift-filled shoeboxes each year and distributes them to boys and girls in over 120 countries. In the hands of local churches around the world, shoeboxes become a tool for evangelism, discipleship & multiplication! Shoebox gifts are more than box of toys, school supplies, and hygiene items, each shoebox is an opportunity for a local church to share the Gospel and invite children into a discipleship program. Just last year in 2021, over 2.5 million children reported decisions for Christ while participating in the follow up discipleship program, The Greatest Journey!

| MARKED | Elizabeth Woodson | 03 Oct 2022 | 00:29:07 | |
Today we welcome Elizabeth Woodson to discuss her new study, From Beginning to Forever. Many Christians today are daunted by the Bible, seeing the size and scope of Scripture as intimidating and overwhelming. The result is often a fragmented understanding of parts of the Bible, which leads us to view it through the lens of our individual stories, primarily looking for different verses or passages to help us live our everyday lives. But, in our search for personal truth, we fail to see how the entirety of Scripture works together to show a bigger story—God's work to redeem and restore the entire world. Elizabeth Woodson is a bible teacher, writer, and speaker, who is passionate about communicating the rich theological truths of Scripture. She loves helping people internalize their faith and connect it practically to everyday life.Elizabeth works as the Institute Classes and Curriculum Director at The Village Church in Flower Mound, Texas where she teaches classes on the Bible, theology, and spiritual formation. She formerly worked as the Single Life Coordinator at Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship under the leadership of Senior Pastor Dr. Tony Evans. Elizabeth is a graduate of Dallas Theological Seminary with a Masters in Christian Education and a cohost of the podcast Culture Matters.

| Kelly Minter on God's Attributes | 30 Jun 2025 | 00:47:00 | |
Today, we're joined by Bible teacher and author Kelly Minter to explore a foundational element of our faith: the attributes of God and how they are revealed through His works. As part of our ongoing Essentials of the Faith series, this conversation centers on how knowing God rightly shapes everything else we believe. One highlight of the conversation includes a powerful discussion on lament as an act of worship. Far from being a contradiction, lament reveals the perfect goodness of God because we can acknowledge the evil of sin because we've seen what true goodness is.
