Episode Details

Let us know what you think!

This week on Thinking Out Loud with Pastor-D, we celebrate Mother’s Day by discussing one of the wildest stories in the entire Bible — a prophetess, a hesitant warrior, a woman with a tent spike, and a guy who really should’ve been more suspicious of warm milk and hospitality.

Why did Deborah have to lead when Barak wouldn’t? Why are strong women often admired and criticized at the same time? Why do so many mothers feel like they’re carrying entire families on their backs while grown men stand around like decorative throw pillows?

Somewhere between the jokes, the sarcasm, and Pastor-D handing out stakes to women in church “for demonstration purposes,” the conversation turns serious:

• Have men become spiritually passive?
• Why do women often sense danger before everyone else?
• What does motherly courage actually look like in a family?
• And why does God so often choose overlooked people to confront darkness?

This episode is funny, uncomfortable, honest, and surprisingly personal. Also…someone probably should’ve stopped Pastor-D before he started explaining how to properly use a tent stake.
