Summary

Phylicia discusses why Christians who are into theology can become so "mean" by looking at the call to both sound teaching and gracious delivery. We look at the three tiers of doctrine, the goal of maturity, and how to understand denominational differences.

0:00.0	Welcome to Variety Podcast. I'm your host, Felicia Mason-Himer, and I am here to
0:06.3	teach you how to know what you believe, to live it boldly, and to communicate it
0:11.3	graciously to the world around you. I believe that women are ready to go deeper in
0:16.8	their faith than ever before, and they don't have to go to seminary to do it. I am
0:22.5	so glad you're here, and I hope you'll join me on this journey because every
0:27.2	woman is a theologian. Hi friends, and welcome back to Variety Podcast. Today we're talking

1:41.1	camp on theology. And though I walk through in the book all the different denominational views
1:46.2	on a variety of those topics, in this particular episode, I want to dive into the attitude,
1:51.9	that is to accompany a Christian's life. How are you to act in behavior so that you live a life
1:59.8	of honor while still standing on the truth? So in Hebrews 5, 13, through 6, 1, it says,
2:06.8	anyone who lives on milk being still an infant is not acquainted with the teaching about righteousness,
2:12.0	but solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good
