    What If It's Spiritual? Deliverance Ministry and the Reality of Spiritual Warfare

    In this bold and thought-provoking episode of Middle-Class Matters, Brooke and Renae sit down with Pastors Jacob and Katrinna Forest, founders of The Bridge Church in Bellmead, Texas, to discuss a topic many people avoid - deliverance ministry and spiritual warfare. While culture often portrays these realities through extreme examples like movies such as The Exorcist, many are left wondering what is real, what is exaggerated, and whether these things still exist today. Even more, some question whether certain intense struggles, including severe mental or emotional conditions, could have spiritual component that is often overlooked. Pastors Jacob and Katrinna bring a grounded, biblical perspective on deliverance ministry and spiritual warfare, sharing insight, discernment, and truth about how believers can walk in freedom through Christ.

    Did They Go to Hell? Suicide, Truth, and Grace

    Suicide is one of the most painful and misunderstood topics in both the church and our communities. For many families, the grief is compounded by something even heavier—fear, guilt, and the belief that their loved one is lost forever. In this powerful and compassionate episode of Middle-Class Matters, Brooke and Renae sit down with Pastor Matt Byrd to address one of the most difficult questions people ask: What does the Bible really say about suicide? Pastor Byrd speaks directly to the long-standing belief that those who take their lives cannot repent and therefore go to hell. Through Scripture, he gently but clearly explains why this belief does not align with the truth of the Gospel. Together, they unpack the assurance of salvation, the depth of God’s grace, and the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross. This episode is for anyone who has been affected by suicide—whether personally or through the loss of a loved one.

This episode is a must-listen for families navigating education, career decisions, and financial futures.

    The Lost Language: Why Cursive Still Matters

In this eye-opening episode of Middle-Class Matters, Brooke and Renae sit down with veteran educator Jackie Houck, founder of TeacherSub.com, to discuss the decline of cursive instruction across the United States. With many states no longer requiring it, millions of students are missing a foundational skill that connects them to history, family, and written communication. Jackie shares why cursive is about more than writing—it’s about reading, connection, and preserving the stories that shape our lives. She also introduces her Master Cursive with Colors program, designed to help families and educators confidently teach this essential skill.
