As For Me: Life Through the Lens of the Psalms

Most churches avoid the truth about women in ministry because they're trapped in harmful doctrines that divide rather than unite. Jeremy Jones, executive pastor at Soma City Church, pulls back the curtain on how bad theology fuels toxic practices, and most importantly, how to rethink your church's mission and team dynamics to reflect the full body of Christ.
You'll discover why scripture and church history reveal a much richer, more inclusive view of women in leadership than traditional doctrines admit. Jeremy shares his journey from being skeptical to seeing the undeniable evidence for women in ministry—proof found not only in scripture but in the stories of faithful followers like Lottie Moon and countless underserved communities.
We break down practical ways to foster healthy teams—where everyone's gifts are used, no one feels diminished, and safety is prioritized over outdated rules. Jeremy emphasizes the importance of clear, mission-driven boundaries that protect and empower, not shame or exclude. He discusses the significance of shared leadership, the biblical vision of brothers and sisters working side by side, and how authentic friendship and vulnerability grow when churches embrace all God's people fully.
In an age where loneliness and disconnection are rampant, this episode offers a bold call to reshape how we see and practice community, leadership, and the Gospel. If your church is serious about making disciples and truly loving your neighbor, this conversation is essential. Whether you're a pastor, a ministry leader, or a believer longing for biblical integrity and relational depth—this episode will challenge your assumptions and inspire you to lead with grace, courage, and humility.

Unlock the ancient patterns shaping modern faith and discover how prophets like Jesus, John the Baptist, and even you are repeating a divine cycle that's unchanging through centuries. This episode dives into the prophetic blueprint behind their ministries, revealing why understanding these repetitive stories is the key to making sense of today's chaos—and finding purpose within it.
Jami shares her eye-opening research, showing how the political and religious landscapes of Jesus' time mirror our current struggles with power, oppression, and systemic injustice. You'll discover why the prophets' fierce challenge to corrupt systems is more relevant than ever—calling us to live differently, love fiercely, and embody the upside-down kingdom Jesus preached.

How John the Baptist and Jesus mirrored Old Testament prophets to confront empire and religious corruption.
The significance of biblical patterns—like wilderness journeys, the calling out of vipers, and the prophetic critique of power—that repeat across generations.
Why the prophetic act of social justice isn't separate from repentance, but deeply intertwined through the call to love, serve, and reverse injustice.
The importance of God's unchanging character—consistently advocating care for the poor, marginalized, and oppressed—and why this should inspire collective action today.
Get ready to see the Bible with fresh eyes—recognizing that the stories of prophets and kings are not just ancient history but the blueprint for our spiritual resistance.

Most churches approach evangelism and discipleship through a guilt-driven lens, but what if the key to transformative faith is rooted in a robust theology of the image of God? Amy Seiffert reveals why starting from a foundation of love, goodness, and belonging changes everything—and how this shifts the way we share the gospel today.
In this episode, we dive into the profound impact of understanding ourselves as made in the divine image. Amy shares her research on how early church views, modern theology, and fresh insights into diversity, disability, and gender all point to an inclusive, grace-filled picture of humanity. You'll discover why emphasizing God's love and the inherent worth of every person offers a more compelling, hopeful approach to evangelism than traditional notions of sin and judgment.
Amy and Jami explore why the church's focus on apologetics and winning debates often misses the heart of the gospel. They break down how reclaiming a holistic view of humanity—centered on safety, connection, and the identity of being loved—can radically reshape our churches and communities. You'll learn how Jesus repeatedly prioritized intimacy and welcome over condemnation, illustrating the true reflection of God's reign: justice, mercy, and grace expressed through tangible love.
This conversation challenges you to question current church culture and invites you into a more expansive, compassionate understanding of Christ's mission. Why does it matter? Because a life rooted in the truth of being made in God's image unlocks the door for healing, inclusion, and authentic discipleship. You'll see that when we focus on who people are—beloved, valuable, made for goodness—our entire approach to faith and life is transformed.
