  • 0013 Psalm 1 Analysis
    Apr 21 2026

    Who is shaping the way you think right now… and do you even realize it?

    In this episode, we break down Psalm 1 (NKJV) in a way that feels uncomfortably relevant to today’s world. This isn’t just a passage about sin—it’s about influence.

    The Bible gives us a progression most people overlook:

    Walk. Stand. Sit.

    It’s subtle… but it’s powerful.

    What starts as casual exposure can slowly turn into agreement—and eventually identity.

    We unpack:

    • The real meaning behind “walk, stand, and sit” (and why there are three stages)
    • How influence shapes your thoughts, decisions, and future—often without you noticing
    • What it actually looks like to meditate on the Word in a practical, everyday way
    • Why Psalm 1 compares your life to a tree—and what it means to be rooted vs. drifting
    • How this applies in 2026 (yes… including social media, news, and digital influence)

    This episode will challenge you to evaluate:
    👉 What voices are you allowing into your life?
    👉 What are you becoming because of them?
    👉 And are you planted… or just being blown around?

    Because according to Scripture, your life is moving in the direction of your influences.

    The good news?
    You can change your direction—starting today.

  • 0012 Evidence for the Resurrection
    Apr 20 2026

    Did the resurrection of Jesus really happen… or have we just been told that it did?

    In this episode of the Spiritual Strategies Podcast, Brittany and Eric step into one of the most foundational—and most questioned—claims of the Christian faith:
    Did Jesus truly rise from the dead?

    Instead of relying on tradition or assumption, they take a step back and ask a deeper question:
    What evidence actually exists—and can it stand up to real scrutiny?

    This conversation moves beyond blind faith and into historical reasoning, eyewitness testimony, and logical analysis. Brittany and Eric walk through what we know about Jesus’ life, death, and the events that followed—examining whether the resurrection is simply a belief… or something far more grounded in reality.

    From Roman historians to Gospel accounts, from oral tradition to archaeological discoveries, this episode builds a compelling case that invites listeners to think critically and personally about what they believe.

    Together, Brittany and Eric explore:

    • Why asking questions about faith actually strengthens belief—not weakens it
    • The historical evidence surrounding Jesus’ life, crucifixion, and resurrection
    • How eyewitness testimony supports the credibility of the Gospel accounts
    • Why the timing of the written records matters in validating their accuracy
    • The role of non-Christian historians in confirming key biblical events
    • How oral tradition preserved Jesus’ teachings with precision and consistency
    • Why the differences in Gospel accounts actually increase their credibility
    • Common alternative theories about the resurrection—and why they fall apart
    • The dramatic transformation of the disciples after encountering the risen Jesus
    • What it means to have a faith that is rooted in both truth and evidence

    This episode also challenges a common assumption:
    Faith is not meant to ignore evidence—it’s meant to respond to it.

    Because if the resurrection is true…
    then Jesus is not just a historical figure to study—He is alive.

    And that changes everything.

    If you’ve ever wondered whether Christianity can stand up to real questions, or if your faith has ever felt more inherited than examined, this conversation will give you a stronger, clearer foundation.

    Because the resurrection isn’t just a story to believe…
    it’s a truth to respond to.

    Join Brittany and Eric as they explore how history, evidence, and transformed lives all point to one central question:
    If Jesus really rose from the dead—what does that mean for you?

  • 0011 The Nature of God
    Apr 20 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    What happens when life doesn’t make sense… and you start questioning not just your circumstances—but God Himself?

    In this episode of the Spiritual Strategies Podcast, Brittany and Eric take on two of the most difficult and honest questions believers and non-believers alike wrestle with:

    Why does God allow suffering?
    And why believe in God at all?

    Rather than avoiding these questions, they lean into them.

    Through real-life experiences, biblical truth, and thoughtful conversation, Brittany and Eric unpack the deeper reality behind pain, suffering, and the nature of God’s character. Many people assume that if God is good, life should be free from hardship—but Scripture reveals something very different.

    Suffering doesn’t mean God is absent.
    And “being a good person” isn’t the full story of what we were created for.

    This episode challenges common assumptions and brings clarity to questions that often go unspoken. From hospital rooms to personal testimonies, the conversation explores how pain can either push us away from God—or draw us closer to Him.

    Together, Brittany and Eric discuss:

    • Why suffering does not originate from God—and what Scripture actually reveals
    • The difference between questioning God’s character and understanding the brokenness of the world
    • How faith operates in the middle of pain—not outside of it
    • Why trying to define “good” on our own terms leads us away from truth
    • The danger of postponing a relationship with God until “later”
    • How salvation is not a negotiation after death—but an invitation during life
    • What it means to respond to suffering spiritually instead of just emotionally or intellectually
    • How believers can step into painful situations and bring faith, peace, and hope to others

    This episode also introduces a powerful perspective:
    Sometimes the goal isn’t to fully understand suffering—but to respond to it correctly.

    If you’ve ever asked, “God, where are You?”
    Or wondered if living a “good life” is enough—this conversation will meet you right where you are.

    Because the nature of God isn’t revealed in the absence of suffering…
    it’s revealed in how He meets us in the middle of it.

    Join Brittany and Eric as they explore how truth, faith, and relationship with God reshape the way we view pain, purpose, and eternity.
