- Religion & Spirituality
Do you want to know God better? You may have attempted to study theology but quickly backed off because it was too confusing, felt like it was only for academics, or didn't apply to your life.
I hear ya.
My name is Monica, your friend that went to seminary, so you don't have to (if you don't want to). Here at Theologically Fashioned Podcast, I want to share all I've learned, and then some, with you!
Join me, Monica, as I make theological concepts accessible and easy to understand so that you can explore your faith and deepen your spiritual understanding that helps you live in the world God so loves.

Together for Good: Helping Families in Crisis
According to US Deptartment of Health and Human Services in 2022 there were 391,000 children and youth in foster care. While foster care is needed for a multitude of reasons, a major contributing factor is social isolation of the parent. Studies show reducing social isolation by even just one point reduces the risk of children being neglected or abused by 71%.
From April 10th - April 30th Monica will be collecting donations via venmo to create Support Baskets for Mothers in need around the Twin Cities through the organization Together For Good.

Ask Anything: God's Will
Recording this episode, I wanted to sing, "Try the grey stuff; it's delicious." We might not fully understand this topic in black and white and, with 100% certainty, this side of heaven. Discussing God's will involves free will when addressing salvation and free will as free agents able to thwart God's will and those implications for the atonement of Christ.
This introductory discussion is meant to help you think deeply with God while shifting your heart to a place where it can be sure of God's will regarding Divine Mission.
As always, may this conversation help you love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength. -
