I try to provide some practical, accessible advice for "regular people" who want to think deeply about God without feeling overwhelmed.

  • Grassroots Apologetics: How Three Moms Are Equipping the Next Generation
    Jan 26 2026
    In this episode, Krista Bontrager interviews three ordinary moms who stepped up with basic apologetics training to equip families and defend the faith: Jen Beitel started a local family ministry (U.N.I.T.E.D.), Alicia Moss teaches women in her church on cultural issues, and Michelle Lazor curates wholesome, worldview-aligned books through her online book club, Mud Hen Mama. This is an inspiring look at how everyday believers—no PhDs required—are making a real difference for the Kingdom of God.

  • Inclusion & Belonging in DEI: What Christians Need to Know | Family Meeting 1/8/26
    Jan 8 2026
    In this special edition of the Theology Mom podcast, Krista examines the "I" in DEI from a historic Christian perspective. She contrasts the widely agreeable "noble" definitions of inclusion and belonging with their real-world applications in workplaces and Christian institutions, highlighting unintended consequences, ideological conflicts with biblical teaching, and how DEI practices often infiltrate conservative Christian universities through a shifting of definitions. A thoughtful call for Christians to pursue biblical unity, hospitality, and impartial justice rather than secular social engineering.

  • Biola’s Founders Fought Modernism — Will Today’s Leaders Fight Postmodernism?
    Dec 18 2025
    Biola was founded in 1908 to fight theological modernism when mainline schools abandoned orthodoxy. Today, postmodernism—with its rejection of truth, deconstruction of Scripture, and embrace of critical theories—threatens historic Christianity the same way. Biola’s founders had the courage to build an unapologetic outpost for biblical truth. Now it’s Biola's turn to lead again. This is a call to courage. #BiolaUniversity #Postmodernism #ChristianCourage #TheologyMom #BiolaChronicles
