In today’s episode, Sonja and Lexy chat with Karen Kerber from Tanunda in the Barossa Valley. Karen is married to Paul, a Lutheran minister and together they have six grown children.

Karen and Paul have both completed extensive training through Ambassadors of Reconciliation - an organisation that equips people to respond to conflict biblically. 

They were also heavily involved in the biblical reconciliation ministry of the Lutheran Church of Australia for several years.

In the first part of today’s episode, Karen digs deep into what the gospel of Jesus Christ is and explains why it is so important. She also takes us through some of the most popular misconceptions that people have about the gospel and explains what the truth is.

Afterwards, she rolls up her sleeves and helps us apply the gospel to our everyday lives, especially within our own homes.  

Karen not only provides us with valuable teaching on this foundational truth, but she also gives practical demonstrations to give us ideas on how to proclaim the gospel within our own homes and communities.

QUOTES

“The Gospel gives peace to the aching soul and awakens our hearts so we joyfully serve God and each other, giving glory and thanks to our Heavenly Father” - Karen Kerber

Elisabeth Dreckow grew up in the church and her proud Lutheran heritage dates back many generations. However, she didn’t fully realise the richness of Lutheran theology until several years ago. In today’s episode, Elisabeth shares her story of rediscovering her faith and the importance of not neglecting the rich Lutheran theological resources available to us.

In the second half of the conversation, we dig into the topic of God’s design for marriage and how the distinct roles that He gave to husbands and wives are good and beautiful gifts that benefit us.

Yoga is a popular practice today, especially among women. But what exactly is it? Is it simply a relaxing form of exercise or is there a deeper spiritual meaning to it?

Today we are joined by former yoga instructor and meditation coach, Tatiana Overduin from Adelaide, South Australia. Tatiana will explore the origins, beliefs, and potential consequences of yoga from a Christian perspective. She will also discuss its spiritual aspects, the use of Sanskrit words, and the subtle influence that this practice can have on Christians. This thought-provoking conversation challenges Christians to reflect on what practices they choose to participate in and why the “empowerment” message found in today’s culture is contradictory to the Christian life of repentance and humility.

SHOW NOTES

This is Tatiana’s second appearance on the Here She Stands Podcast. Here is her first episode on the topic of the Christian’s identity: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRnq5Nz3nyI&t=1270s
