Ep 20 | Answers for Life

As we approach the Holidays, now is a great time to begin reflecting on all that you are thankful for, but what is your thankfulness tied to? Is your thankfulness dependent upon your circumstance? Your material possessions? Your friends or family? Or is your thankfulness tied to the eternal gospel? This week, Pastor Shelly and Noah explore what the Bible says about being truly thankful.

  1. True thankfulness is not tied to circumstance (Job 1:21; Phil 4:11-13; 1 these 5:15-18)

Answers for Life | Southern Baptist Convention

Ep 16 | Answers for Life

What exactly happened at the Southern Baptist Convention?

In this Podcast, Noah and Pastor Shelly discuss what were the important takeaways from the 2021 Southern Baptist Convention that occurred June 14-15, 2021. Despite what the media may be attempting to portray, the atmosphere of the SBC was incredibly compassionate and unified and SBC messengers made it blatantly clear that we stand against abortion, against racism, completely with the innerant Word of God as the only source to address all issues that we face face. Additionally, Southern Baptist stood united and overwhelmingly embraced the Vision 2025 that was cast by Ronnie Floyd of the Executive Commitee.

Answers for Life | Special Guest: Kristin Baker

Ep 15 | Answers for Life

This week, we sat down with Kristin Baker, the director of the Holmes County Pregnancy and Family Center, to discuss all of the options that a young girl has when they find themselves with an unplanned pregnancy. There are many options and the Holmes County Pregnancy and Family Center desires to sit and listen and love you, empower you with all of the information need to make whatever decision you feel is best, and to help and support you and your child long-term. Their services to you are completely free. There is a stigma that says that Christians only care about the baby and preventing abortion and they care nothing about the mother. This couldn’t be further from the truth. While we do care about your child and desire to see that baby loved and cared for, we also love and support the mothers and fathers no matter the decision they make.

The Holmes County Pregnancy and Family Center also provides free counseling for you, your spouse, your children, and your family. Whether you have dealt with trauma, are overwhelmed, of you feel depressed of distressed, there is a counselor to talk to 24/7.
