Throughout church history there has been a consistent, if not defective, tendency to attempt to fix the problems within by forcing goats to behave like sheep. By demanding a work of righteousness before salvation, before even an explanation is given, effectively putting the cart before the horse. One prime example of this was the Purity Culture, which hit its fever pitch in the 90's and has had some devastating affects. Unfortunately, the ideas promoted in that movement linger on, and need to be addressed. So, what to do? The obvious answer is to bring Kristin Everett onto the program so that she can single handedly solve all the woes brought on by Purity Culture. Listen in as she gives first hand examples, as well as many sent in to her via the mysterious "stitching" of TikTok videos, showing the sad state of works based religion masquerading as morality lessons for teens. We get into the nitty gritty as well as detailing solutions, and a far bit of theology to help negate this unhelpful teaching. Below is a timestamped outline incase you want to skip through, as well as links to Kristin's social media, previous episodes, and famous TikTokery. Yes, I made that word up. Patten it, guys!
TS 00:01:35 - Why discuss this topic?
TS 00:03:00 - What is Purity?
TS 00:19:00 - Kristins experience with Purity Culture
TS 00:39:15 - My experience with Purity Culture
TS 00:41:20 - My husbands experience with Purity Culture
TS 00:51:15 - Where is the balance?
TS 00:57:35 - How do we share the grace of God in this?
TS 01:08:00 - How to rightly correct Purity Culture
TS 01:22:25 - How do we correct teachers who are teaching this?

Tulips & Honey: Episode 104 - Different Worldview's for The End Times
Monday Aug 16, 2021
Monday Aug 16, 2021
The topic of eschatology is one that I have enjoyed learning about, but have found it difficult to grasp all the different opinions. So I was really very thankful for the opportunity to dig deeper. No matter how deep I dug, I still didn't hit the bottom...or even close. Instead, I recorded this episode giving a basic explanation of each viewpoint. Hopefully, this will be helpful for y'all, and if I've gotten anything wrong please let me know! Below is a timestamped outline as well as a couple links for future study.

TS 00:25:35 - Etymology of Millennialism
TS 00:27:05 - Etymology of Parousia
TS 00:28:25 - Premillennialism
TS 00:42:10 - Amillennialism

Tulips & Honey: Episode 103 - Christian Cliche's with Justin Hereford
Monday Aug 02, 2021
Monday Aug 02, 2021
Christian Cliche's! We've all heard them, some of us have even used them, but are they Biblical? According to polls, 81% of professing Christians actually believe that one of these phrases is a genuine Bible verse. But here's the kicker, not only are NONE of these in the Word of God, most of them are completely unbiblical. I brought my amazingly wonderful, utterly handsome husband, Justin Hereford, onto the program today to break these down Scripturally and logically. We even give some options for more doctrinally sound phrases to replace them. Below is a timestamped outline as well as the verses mentioned in today's episode.
TS 00:05:45 - God won’t give you anything you can’t handle
For we do not want you to be unaware, brothers, of the affliction we experienced in Asia. For we were so utterly burdened beyond our strength that we despaired of life itself. 2 Cor. 1:8
TS 00:16:25 - God wants you happy, wealthy, and wise?
Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 1 John 2:15
81% of Christians believe this is in the Bible poll - https://somajc.org/god-helps-those/
TS 00:22:00 - There is a reason for everything…
TS 26:45 - Forgive and forget
The prudent sees danger and hides himself,
but the simple go on and suffer for it. Proverbs 22:3
TS 00:32:00 - Listen to your heart?
The heart is deceitful above all things,
and desperately sick;
who can understand it? Jeremiah 17:9
For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false witness, slander. Matthew 15:19
TS 00:36:00 - God helps those who help themselves.
TS 00:42:55 - If God closes a door He’ll open a window?

Tulips & Honey: Episode 102 - Reckless Worship
Monday Jul 19, 2021
Monday Jul 19, 2021
A few weeks ago I got a call from Kristin Everett, yup that Kristin Everett! The one whose totally a TikTok star but argues with me every time I say so. She was working on a series of posts on Tiktok explaining the theology behind certain "worship" songs by going verse by verse. That conversation led to an entire episode! That's what I have for you today, a discussion about the seriousness of worship, and why we should be taking this very seriously. Below is a list of resources mentioned during the discussion.
