Leslie continues her Most Asked Questions series with a timely episode on responding to cultural and political issues in a Biblical way. We often respond to cultural darkness with fear, anger or indifference. But as Leslie shares in this episode, we are called to engage with cultural issues in a Christ-like, God-honoring way, and shine Truth in the midst of a lost and dying world. We are called to go forward boldly into the battle like Esther, upheld by the mighty hand of our Defender and Deliverer. When we embrace the supernatural courage that He offers, we can become a world-changing tool in His hands — for such a time as this.

Leslie continues her Most Asked Questions series with this Biblical perspective on handling feelings of rejection. Many women struggle with feeling rejected by others. The enemy often uses these feelings of rejection to cause us to doubt God’s love for us and distract us from our calling to shine the light of Christ to this world. In this encouraging message, Leslie shares two Scriptural principles to give us Heavenly perspective when we are struggling with rejection. When we understand who we are in Christ and grasp our value to Him, we can walk in confidence and joy, even if others reject us.

Leslie continues her Most Asked Questions series with a Biblical look on contentment in singleness. Many voices in modern Christianity imply that it is not possible to be happy or fulfilled in the single years. It's true that God designed us for relationship with others and, for most of us, He designed us for marriage. But as Leslie shares in this episode, it is not true that Jesus alone isn’t enough to fulfill us at the deepest level, even if every form of human companionship is stripped away. God has a tremendous purpose for our single years. This episode shows us that contentment in Christ is possible by His enabling grace, whether married or single, whether in plenty or in want, whether in easy circumstances or difficult ones. Even if we never experience earthly marriage, we can be completely fulfilled by our relationship with Jesus Christ.

Leslie continues her Most Asked Questions series with a practical and eye-opening look at true Biblical modesty. We often make the mistake of defining modesty only by the style of clothing someone is wearing, but as Leslie shares in this episode, modesty is far more of an outflow of someone’s heart condition than anything else. If we truly desire to showcase honor; to glorify Jesus and point eyes to Him, true modesty will be the natural outflow of our lives, not just in what we wear but in how we act, how we conduct our conversations, and how you show respect and honor to others around us. As Leslie reminds us in this message, true modesty is not dour and oppressive, but life-giving and liberating.

Leslie continues her Most Asked Questions series this week with a Biblical look at decision making. Many Christians believe that it is more spiritual to use our common sense, follow our hearts, make our own decisions, and then ask God to bless them. The idea of waiting for God’s leading before we move forward with a decision is becoming a foreign concept among modern believers. If you’ve ever been confused about what role God wants to play in your decisions or how to determine His specific will for your life, you are not alone. In this episode Leslie unpacks what Bible has to say about being directed by God in our decision-making.

Leslie continues her Most Asked Questions series this week with a Biblical and practical response to the question, "how can I hear God's voice?"

In this episode, Leslie shares two key principles that can help us learn to recognize the voice of God in our lives and cultivate a listening ear to His Spirit's leading.
