Unnamed Women of the New Testament: The Widow of Nain

31: “The Lord Had Called Us for to Preach the Gospel” (Acts 16–21)

Nothing beats a good pair of shoes when you’re serving a mission. But the number of steps missionaries put in now can’t even be compared to the thousands of miles the Apostle Paul walked in his day. In Acts 16–21, we’ll take a look at the Apostle’s many journeys across the ancient world as he followed the creed to spread the gospel. During his service, Paul was jailed, beaten, and persecuted. But in the end, he leaves us with a humble message that he gave everything he could, and that it's always better to give than to receive.

Debra Theobald McClendon: Scrupulosity—Obsessive-Compulsive Anxiety You May Mistake as Faith Crisis

You may have never heard of scrupulosity, but it is possible it has hijacked the religious experience of you or someone you love.

How does it manifest itself? How is it treated? Dr. McClendon helps us answer all of these questions and more on this week’s episode.
