My thoughts on history, Las Vegas, and Texas evangelical women

An organization for women called IF:Gathering, the brainchild of Jennie Allen, offers lots of resources, primarily for a Millennial audience. I've been filming some short commentary for their series on Church History with my colleague Glenn Kreider. And here's one that ran this week: AD2 W3D1 - The Crusades Commence from IF : Equip on Vimeo.

Also,  an article on how to minister in the wake of violence in Las Vegas and the string of natural disasters, ran on the Pastor Resources site as well as on KCBI radio's blog.Then I got quoted in what I thought was going to be an article about Texas evangelical women, but it ended up really focused on Jenn Hatmaker for Texas Monthly magazine.And KCBI-Dallas radio station interviewed me for an on-air audio segment about suffering in the wake of the Las Vegas tragedy. It aired October 3 and was edited for release in their Heartstrings podcast about suffering and God’s ways the next day:https://www.heartstrongfaith.com/heartstrong-faith-podcast-dr-sandra-glahn-suffering-dealing-with-the-vegas-shooting/I hope you'll find something here that ministers to you.

Why Study Church History?

A few weeks ago, Dr. Glenn Kreider (we both teach at DTS) and I were in Austin talking with Jennie Allen, founder of IF:Gathering, to film segments included in the new study they are offering—Anno Domini or "AD." AD focuses on the Book of Acts and what followed—the 2,000-year history of the church, the bride of Christ. You can sign up for the free 8-week course.Below I spend about 30 seconds talking about why I encourage people to study this topic:The following video lasts about five minutes, and we talk more in depth about the value of understanding our history.  This is the intro to lesson one.I hope you'll consider joining in.
