    Holy Tuesday | Holy Week Day 3

    On Holy Tuesday, Jesus went face to face with the religious leaders — and what happened next has been called "the great unmasking."  In this episode, I walk through Jesus' confrontation with the Pharisees, what it reveals about hypocrisy, and why Holy Tuesday is the perfect day to ask: am I genuinely following Jesus, or just going through the motions?  Download the free Holy Week devotionalFollow along daily through Easter!

    169 | What Is Praying in Tongues—and Is It for Christians Today?

    Growing up in a Pentecostal church, I have witnessed people speaking in tongues many times. But what is praying in tongues, and is it for Christians today? If you've ever wondered what the Bible actually teaches about this spiritual gift, whether the ability to speak in tongues is proof of salvation, or why some churches emphasize it and others don't, this episode is for you.In this episode, we start with Acts 2 and the day of Pentecost, where the Holy Spirit empowered believers to speak in real languages they had never learned. We'll explore why this moment was so significant—it wasn't just random; it was the fulfillment of Jeremiah 31:33, when God's law was written on the hearts of His people. Then we move to 1 Corinthians 12–14, where Paul explains that tongues is just one of the spiritual gifts and that it should be used in an orderly and edifying way. It is not something every believer receives and is not a requirement for salvation.I also share perspectives from both continuationist and cessationist traditions so you can understand the broader conversation within the church. Whether you're Pentecostal, Baptist, Reformed, or somewhere in between, my hope is that this episode equips you to study Scripture for yourself and approach this topic with humility and discernment.

    168 | Liturgical Prayers: Are Written Prayers Biblical or Just Empty Tradition?

    Are written prayers biblical or just empty tradition? If you've ever felt like praying someone else's words isn't "sincere" or questioned whether liturgical prayers belong in the Christian life, this episode will challenge your assumptions and open up a rich tradition of faith. Did Jesus forbid scripted prayers in Matthew 6:6–7? Many Christians assume prayer must always be spontaneous. But throughout both Jewish and early Christian worship, written prayers were a normal part of community life.In this episode, we look at the history of liturgical prayer and why Acts 2:42 says the early believers devoted themselves to “the prayers.” We’ll also talk about how written prayers can strengthen—not replace—your personal conversations with God. We will also explore the beauty and biblical foundation of liturgical prayers, from the Psalms (which are themselves written prayers) to the Book of Common Prayer and prayers written by early church fathers like Polycarp. Many American evangelicals dismiss written prayers as "ritualistic" or empty tradition, but Scripture shows us that God gave us the Psalms to pray, Jesus gave us the Lord's Prayer to pray, and faithful Christians throughout history have used written prayers to train themselves in adoration, confession, and thanksgiving—not just requests. I also share a few favorite historic prayer resources and simple ways to turn Scripture into your own prayers.Shop Prayer Resources⦿ Every Woman a Theologian Shop: https://phyliciamasonheimer.com/shop  Our Spring Shop is live and filled with new prayer-focused resources including the Praying the Psalms Scripture Guide and Not-So-Quiet Time: Psalms Volume 1, a multisensory guide that you can use alone or as a family discipleship tool.Watch the full Verity Podcast Prayer Series: https://www.youtube.com/@veritypodcastSubscribe to Verity Podcast: https://apple.co/veritypodcastVerity Podcast is an Every Woman a Theologian company.

    167 | Why Do I Feel Bored in Prayer?

    Why does prayer feel boring sometimes? If you've ever struggled to stay focused during prayer, felt distracted, or wondered why some Christians seem so enriched by prayer while you feel disconnected, this episode will bring clarity and hope.  Phylicia explores four key reasons why prayer can feel boring—and what to do about it: spiritual warfare (the enemy doesn't want you praying), overstimulation (we're unused to silence and stillness), request-based vs. relationship-based prayer, and duty-based habits that lack intimacy. Scripture shows us that showing up consistently creates the intimacy we're looking for—discipline leads to joy, and action precedes feeling.Shop Prayer ResourcesEvery Woman a Theologian Shop:https://phyliciamasonheimer.comSpring Shop launches March 12 with new prayer-focused resources and more.Watch the full Verity Podcast Prayer Series:https://www.youtube.com/@veritypodcastSubscribe to Verity Podcast:https://apple.co/veritypodcastVerity Podcast is an Every Woman a Theologian company.We believe every woman should be a theologian—every woman a student of the heart of God.Order Every Woman a Theologian:https://phyliciamasonheimer.com/product/every-woman-a-theologian-hardcover/New Release: Who Is Like Our God?

    166 | Does God hear Everyone's Prayers?

    Does God hear everyone’s prayers? In this episode, we explore what Scripture really teaches about righteousness, salvation, and effective prayer, unpacking what it means to be “righteous” not by works, but by faith in Christ (Philippians 3:9). Phylicia addresses hard questions like: Does God hear unrighteous or prideful prayers? What about the prayers of unbelievers? And do more prayers really equal more power? If you’ve ever wondered whether God hears your prayers, how humility matters, or how faith and fervency work together, this biblical teaching will bring clarity, encouragement, and gospel-centered hope.Revival in New York Article:https://www.cslewisinstitute.org/resources/revival-born-in-a-prayer-meeting/Shop Prayer ResourcesEvery Woman a Theologian Shop:https://phyliciamasonheimer.comSpring Shop launches March 12 with new prayer-focused resources and more.Watch the full Verity Podcast Prayer Series:https://www.youtube.com/@veritypodcastSubscribe to Verity Podcast:https://apple.co/veritypodcastVerity Podcast is an Every Woman a Theologian company.We believe every woman should be a theologian—every woman a student of the heart of God.Order Every Woman a Theologian:https://phyliciamasonheimer.com/product/every-woman-a-theologian-hardcover/New Release: Who Is Like Our God?
