Why Christians Should Vote YES on Amendment 3 | Missouri's Abortion Battle (Ep 22)
Should Christians vote YES on Missouri's Amendment 3, even though it doesn't completely abolish abortion?

We also discuss Christians' biblical responsibility in political life.
Should pastors address political issues?
Are Christians obligated to vote?
Is incremental progress morally acceptable?

Is Anxiety a Sin? | Therapy, Medication & Biblical Counseling (Ep. 21)
Got a question or episode idea? Text the Word & Flesh team at 573-723-1703
Is anxiety a sin, a medical condition, or both? And should Christians seek help from pastors, professional therapists, or somewhere else?
In this episode, we explore what God's Word says about anxiety and we challenge the assumptions behind modern therapy culture.
We also dig into:
• the difference between ordinary fear and sinful worry
• the appropriate role of professional counseling and medication, and
• why Christian friendship and pastoral care are essential.
We share some of our own struggles and victories, and offer what we hope is practical encouragement for fighting anxiety through prayer, thanksgiving, Scripture, and confidence in God's providence.

How Much Is Not Enough? | Modesty & Why Christians Should Dress Well (Ep 20)
Should Christians dress up for church? What about wearing a bikini at the waterpark? Yoga pants: okay for the gym? The grocery store? Both? Neither?
How do we even begin to approach questions of Christian attire, modesty, and propriety?
In this episode of Word & Flesh, four Riverview elders tackle what the Bible says about how Christians dress, and why. We talk beauty and attraction, dressing well, cultural expectations, men’s and women’s responsibilities, swimwear, church clothes, parenting, judgmentalism, and more.
We’re not handing out a Christian dress code. Instead, we offer three questions for thinking carefully about what we wear:
What is my intent?What is the effect?Have I actually thought about this as a Christian?
But we do make a few... concrete recommendations.
