HT celebrates 4 years this month. So to celebrate we are re-releasing a fan favourite from each year. So to start us out, here is one from 2020!
Not sure what we are talking about? We are discussing the gifts of the Holy Spirit!
A topic that seems to be divisive in the church. So we wanted to tackle it head-on with a tonne of grace and love, because, as far as we can see, there is a lot of misunderstanding when scripture is very clear on this topic.
We tackle some of the most prominent questions like;
* What are the gifts?
* What is cessationism & continuationism?
* How do we faithfully & carefully test the legitimacy of various gifts in action (prophecy & tongues largely discussed)
• How our experiences DO NOT define truth, Scripture does 😉
• How the Holy Spirit never contradicts scripture or himself!
• and a bit of Cass's personal testimony throughout as she has been growing, testing, studying and seeking scripture for the truth on this matter.Support the show

There is a lot of mixed messaging out there when it comes to gender. With mixed messaging comes poor & dangerous ideologies and weak leaders that influence the next generation. This leads to confused boys & girls operating in unhealthy ways that have devastating effects.
I had a conversation with Professor Nancy Pearcey to discuss what on earth is going on in regards to masculinity. We discussed her new book ‘The Toxic War on Masculinity’ and went through a data driven, historic undertaking to see how we got here… and how we get out of it!
Make sure you go and purchase this book, if your sold or skeptic, its a solid resource.
