Podcast Overview

What does it look like to pursue peace and wholeness in a world that often feels chaotic and disconnected? Join Elizabeth Woodson and Yana Jenay Conner—two friends and Bible teachers—as they laugh, dig into Scripture for direction and hope, and get real about what God’s peace looks like in everyday life. Each week, they’ll dive into honest conversations about discipleship, friendship, forgiveness, and the often persuasive yet misleading calls of culture—and how the theology of shalom reshapes it all. Come for the laughter, stay for the wisdom, and leave with a deeper vision of what it means to live a life of wholeness in a broken world.

Keep Hope Alive with Justin Giboney

Between the news cycle and our social media feeds, life in our country can feel overwhelming and chaotic right now. In moments like this, it's easy to lose hold of the hope that justice and shalom are actually possible. In today's episode, Yana and Elizabeth sit down with Justin Giboney to explore how Christians can faithfully respond to the unrest of our current cultural moment. Together, they discuss the inspiration we can draw from Scripture and the Great Cloud of Witnesses, wisdom that can carry us past cynicism and toward a genuine and resilient hope.

Both online and offline? </li><li>How much of our issue is connected to our theology of suffering or, said another way, how we corporately process and move forward in seasons of prolonged difficulty?</li><li>The challenge of dealing with a tumultuous political or social reality is not a new problem? Where can we find inspiration for how to hold onto hope?</li><li>What is a moral imagination, and how does it help us move past cynicism toward real hope?</li></ol>Key Passages: <ul><li>Jeremiah 29:1-11</li><li>Hebrews 12:1-2</li></ul>Recommended Resources: <ul><li><a href="https://a.co/d/02Cbds6x" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Don't Let Nobody Turn You Around: How the Black Church's Public Witness Leads Us Out of the Culture War</a></li></ul> Join the Conversation: Thanks for listening to Shalomies!

Why Women Are Leaving The Church (with Dr. Sandra Glahn)

The role of women in the church is a topic that usually sparks a lot of debate. But in the middle of that conversation, a more important question often gets lost: how can the church help women flourish? In today's episode, Yana and Elizabeth talk with Dr. Sandra Glahn to tackle that question. They explore the role of women in the church through historical, theological, and practical perspectives—and discuss how, regardless of their theological position, churches can help women flourish, create space for them to lead, and build meaningful partnership alongside their brothers in ministry. Questions Covered In This Episode <ol><li>What do you think is driving women to leave the church, or leave the faith altogether?</li><li>What for women has changed in our current culture that is contributing to this problem? </li><li>How does a conversation about how women are valued, developed and invested in get lost in the debate about women in ministry?</li><li>Regardless of a church's position on leadership roles, what do women need in order to flourish spiritually, relationally, and in their gifting? </li><li>Can you share about a church that's gotten this right, where women are genuinely thriving? What did leadership do specifically?</li><li>If you could speak directly to a woman struggling with whether or not she should leave her church, what would you want her to know?</li></ol>Key Passages: Ephesians 4:11-13 1 Corinthians 7 Recommended Resources: <ul><li><a href="https://www.barna.com/trends/church-attendance-women-men/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Barna Study on Women Leaving The Church</a><a href="https://a.co/d/028O9ckL" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"></a></li><li><a href="https://a.co/d/028O9ckL" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">A Woman's Place Is in the Story: Seeing Women in the Biblical Narrative - Sandra Glahn</a></li></ul> Join the Conversation: Thanks for listening to Shalomies!

Fig Leaves and Yokes: Finding Our Way Out of Shame to Shalom

Shame is a powerful emotion. This makes sense, considering it is one of the first negative human emotions we encounter in Scripture. After Adam and Eve sinned against God, their first instinct was to cover themselves with fig leaves and go into hiding. Since then, however, we've become more creative. Shame not only drives us into lives of masking and hiding, but also into lives of performance and spiritual over-functioning beneath ill-fitting yokes. In this episode, Elizabeth and Yana have an honest conversation about the many ways shame can shape our lives. Together, they explore how shame manifests in both subtle and obvious ways, our attempts to cover it with fig leaves or out-perform it with ill-fitting yokes, and how Jesus offers us a better way to live. If you struggle with shame or perfectionism, we hope this conversation will help you enter into the rest and freedom Christ died for you to enjoy. Questions Covered In This Episode <ol><li>How would you define shame?</li><li>What are some ways we try to cover our shame with fig leaves?</li><li>What is a yoke? What ill-fitting yokes can we put on to try to out-perform our shame? </li><li>What is the yoke Jesus offers? </li><li>How does the gospel liberate us from shame?</li><li>What are some practical ways we can come to Jesus in response to His invitation in Matthew 11:28-30? </li></ol>Key Passages: Genesis 2:25, 3:6-7; Matthew 11:28-30 Recommended Resources: <ul><li><a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C7F4X9X2" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Habits of Resistance by Elizabeth Woodson</a></li><li><a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/1433556444" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Shame Interrupted by Ed Welch </a></li><li><a href="https://thewoodsoninstitute.org" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Woodson Institute</a> </li></ul> Join the Conversation: Thanks for listening to Shalomies!
