Review Quotes "Mama Bear Apologetics is a brilliant collaboration for every woman concerned about lies and ideologies that have crept into both society and the church--and have come against the knowledge of God. It's for those mothers who want to protect the minds and souls of their children. Mama Bear will equip you with the answers to the tough questions, engage you and your children's critical thinking, and encourage you--through prayer and discussion--on your faith journey. This book will inspire and strengthen your family and I highly recommend it for every home, in small groups, and in your church." --Rodney Lake, National Director of Thinking Matters New Zealand Foundation"Mama Bear Apologetics is an incisive and witty look at the false ideas kids are drowning in today, often under the watch of well-meaning but unaware Christian moms. I love that it cuts right to the heart of the problem in each chapter--just enough information to provide helpful context and key points of understanding, but not so much that it will leave you feeling overwhelmed. If every Christian mom would read and thoughtfully apply this book in her parenting, it would profoundly transform the next generation. Please read this, then share it with a friend." --Natasha Crain, national speaker, blogger, and author of Keeping Your Kids on God's Side and Talking with Your Kids about God"Brilliant, humorous, conversational, must-read book about the importance of apologetics for anyone who gives a hoot about the current and next generations. This fresh perspective--by women--is exactly what apologetics needs. Everyone, not just parents, needs to learn the chew-and-spit method of discernment, how to ROAR like a mother, and grasp the consequences of linguistic theft. The Mama Bear clarion call is providential--'Mess with our kids, and we will demolish your arguments!" --Laurie A. Stewart, president of Women in Apologetics"I'm thrilled to see a book of this caliber written for moms! Mama Bear Apologetics is engaging and accessible without minimizing the seriousness of the subject matter. I'm particularly pleased by the inclusion of chapters on so-called progressive Christianity and postmodernism. Readers will gain effective tools for dismantling some of the more dangerous ideologies that pervade contemporary culture--and be able to equip their children to follow suit." --Melissa Cain Travis, PhD, author of Science and the Mind of the Maker: What the Conversation Between Faith and Science Reveals About God"Our kids now have access to more information than ever before, including objections to Christianity and the existence of God. Young people encounter skepticism long before they enter universities and colleges. They encounter it online while they are still living at home. That's why we, as parents, are the most important apologists our kids will ever know. Mama Bear Apologetics will help you understand the challenges so you can navigate your kids' questions and prepare them to become committed Christ followers." --J. Warner Wallace, adjunct professor of apologetics at Biola University and author of Cold-Case Christianity, God's Crime Scene, and Forensic Faith"Outstanding! Mama Bear Apologetics deftly describes cultural lies, how to recognize them, and how to defeat them logically and compassionately. Humor abounds, such as their chew-and-spit method of discerning where progressivism, feminism, socialism, and more agree with or go astray from biblical teaching. Chapters end with discussion questions perfect for small group settings." --Jean E. Jones, coauthor of Discovering Joy in Philippians and Discovering Jesus in the Old Testament"The Mama Bear book bounds onto the apologetics scene coming to the aid of Christian moms navigating the swift-moving--and often dangerous--ideological waters of postmodern Western culture. These authors understand that while moms have difficulty finding time to learn apologetics, they are still concerned about what their kids are ingesting from cultural influencers. So the Mama Bears have provided answers at an accessible level using stories and humor for an experience that is as informative as it is enjoyable, all the while maintaining a loving and compassionate approach to tough issues. This book will have Christian moms ready to 'ROAR like a mother'!" --Mary Jo Sharp, assistant professor of apologetics, Houston Baptist University; director of Confident Christianity Apologetics Ministry"This team of women thinkers, under the leadership of Hillary Morgan Ferrer, has put together one of the most engaging, accessible, clever, and relevant books on apologetics available today. They take on and answer the questions that intimidate Christian parents--and they do it with joy, humor, and rare skill. This is the kind of book that should be ordered by churches in case lots so that everyone can read it and discuss it. This book will surely be a confidence builder and a game changer for Christian families far and wide." --Craig J. Hazen, PhD, Biola University Apologetics, author of Fearless Prayer About the Author Hillary Morgan Ferrer, founder of Mama Bear Apologetics(R), has a burden for providing accessible apologetics resources for busy moms. She has a master's in biology and her specialties are scientific apologetics, dealing with doubt, and identifying causes and solutions for youth leaving the church.

Up until about six years ago, I couldn’t have told you what a progressive church looked like. If you had asked me, I maybe would have told you that it was a liberal church, but that would have been about the extent of it. And then, in 2018, I heard former ZOEgirl member, Alisa Childers, […]
Personality assessments are often used for career advice, relationship advice, to help work environments, and for self-improvement. In recent years, the Enneagram has sky-rocketed in popularity, especially, it seems, in the evangelical church. Even prominent Christian influencers like Beth Moore1 and Andy Stanley2 have shown their support for it. The reason? The Enneagram aims to fulfill not only the typical uses for personality assessments but also to serve as a guide in spiritual development. It has been embraced by many Christian individuals and even entire churches. We’ve seen a boom of Christian-labeled Enneagram books, including Bible devotionals based on it.3 We also see a growing number of podcasts devoted to the Enneagram.4 And to top it all off, those seeking a career in it can now become certified Christian Enneagram coaches.
In our previous blog, we discussed gender expression, where things have gone wonky, and a possible explanation for how we got there.
