PV Bible Alive
This podcast will take you on a journey through the Bible. It takes the Scriptures, beginning in Genesis, explains what they meant when they were written, and what they mean to you today. In the end, we hope you discover what the Bible says about itself; that it is "sharper than a two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit....and is a discern-er of the thoughts and intents of the heart."

How to be a Liberated Woman (Or Man)
Chapter 16 of Acts tells the story of two women. Both were successful in a chosen field. Both were gifted. Both seemed to be independent of men. But at the end of the day, only one of them was truly liberated.
We think liberation comes when we "call our own shots," when we are our own boss, when we are free to make our own choices based on our decisions of what is right and wrong.
But what we discover from this passage of Scripture is that, number one, we are all slaves to sin, and that it is only in Christ that we can be truly liberated.
