Her Renewed Strength | Bible Study, Christian Theology, Christian Women Erika Diaz-Castro, Bible Teacher, Christian Life Coach, Keynote Speaker

Welcome to part FOUR of this Theology Matters Series. Today I take time to answer the question: how does theology affect discipleship and your relationships as a Christian woman? 
 
There are two primary areas I focus on during this episode: discipleship [how you intentionally or unintentionally disciple others] and accountability in your relationships [specifically your relationships with other Christians]. I also touch on culture, more specifically the postmodern era and how to navigate postmodern ideology as a Christian; illustrations of poor theology impacting your ability to properly disciple other Christians; and the affect your theology has on your life and witness to those who are not Christians.
 
In this episode, I reference a few resources:

Who Needs Theology: An Invitation to the Study of God by Stanley J. Grenz & Roger E. Olson
A Practical Primer on Theological Method: Table Manners for Discussuing God, His Works, and His Ways by Glenn R. Kreider and Michael J. Svigel

Welcome to PART THREE of our Theology Matters Series! In today’s episode, I share a conversation I had with Robin Rhine McDonald.
 
Robin Rhine McDonald is a Faith-Based Holistic Health Coach, proud mom and wife with a passion for supporting and empowering Jesus-loving women to gain true health while losing weight through her sustainable, grace-based process. She loves to help women ditch chronic dieting and disease for holistic health and wellness. She mixes her seminary background with her study of integrative nutrition to help women develop the energy and vitality to live out their unique God-given calling.
 
As we talked through Robin’s testimony and heart for health, we kind of naturally went down the path of weaving theology into the conversation. Robin and I discussed how your theology affects your health, whether you’re aware of it or not. Robin ended our conversation by offering some practical application for taking care of yourself and honoring the temple God gave you. Robin and I had this really natural flow that was, no doubt, led by the Holy Spirit, and despite us initially connecting to discuss a different topic, we ended up here. I’m confident you will enjoy this down-to-earth conversation! I’m excited for you to get to know Robin and will include links to her show and a gift she has for you right here in the show notes. Ready to dive in? Let’s do it!

Welcome to part two of our Theology Matters Series! Today, I’m sharing a conversation with my friend, Heather Preston. 
 
Heather is a professional writer with a Master of Arts in Theological Studies. As a consultant she works with churches and pastors and has a passion for academic collaborations. Heather hosts a podcast called Scripts on Scripture where she discusses all things Bible with pastors and fellow writers. Her most recent book is entitled Between the Lines.
 
During this conversation, Heather shared her definition of theology and defined some important terms like hermeneutics and exegesis. We dove into how to read the Bible properly, including what information you should know when studying through a particular book of the Bible. Heather also offered an encouraging perspective on why you need to engage in proper study and interpretation of God’s Word. We ended with Heather explaining why she believes Theology Matters. I loved having this conversation. I pray it blesses you big! If I were you, I would grab a notebook or open a note on your phone because you are going to want to take some notes!

Welcome to this month’s series… THEOLOGY MATTERS!
 
If you’ve been craving a deeper dive into theology, this series is one you don’t want to miss! I’m so excited to dive into the topic of theology, why it matters and how it affects our everyday walks as Christian women. In today’s series intro, I’m going to answer the questions: What is theology? Why does theology matter? Do we need theology to grow as Christian women?
 
Throughout this series, I’ll introduce some topics that, I believe, are crucial for all Christian women to consider and confidently grow in. I’ll end today’s episode with an intro to the topics we’ll cover throughout the rest of the series and give you a little sneak peak into who you’ll be hearing from and what we’ll be discussing during this month’s series.
 
Please be sure to share today’s episode with your friends, family, small group sisters and any other women who will enjoy growing deeper in the knowledge and understanding of the triune God and our Christian faith.
