  • 65. Beauty in the Types of Love
    Feb 21 2025

    Welcome to Episode 65 of the Warrior Words podcast!

    In this short Bits of Biblical Beauty (BoBB) episode, I look at the types of love - I was surprised to see eight types described in my research, but we're talking about the four main types in this episode as seen in the Bible and categorized by the Ancient Greeks.

    I mention C.S. Lewis' The Four Loves so here's where you can pick up a copy: https://amzn.to/3QmuUC8

    Armor Up.

    Fight the Good Fight.

    Seek Beauty.

  • 64. The Role of a Mentor in Surviving Trauma with Trish Zenczak
    Feb 18 2025

    Welcome to Episode 64 of the Warrior Words podcast!

    Who was that one person in your life who made a difference to you? How did they get your attention?

    For Trish, there was one woman who stood out and helped her go back and finish high school. But as she points out in this episode, it wasn't just one person. She was blessed to encounter many mentors in various situations who helped her get - and stay - on the right path.

    Was it easy? No. Did she always stay on the right path? No.

    But if these mentors hadn't stepped in and hadn't shown Trish compassion, her life would be very different than it is now.

    Listen to hear where her winding path has led her.

  • 63. Valentine Beauty ~ Not What You Think (BoBB)
    Feb 14 2025

    Welcome to Episode 63 of the Warrior Words podcast!

    In this short Bits of Biblical Beauty (BoBB) episode, I look at the beauty of Valentine - the saints, the people, and the (probable) origin of Valentine's Day. It may not be what you think about when you think of this holiday. Plus, there are no over-priced roses, chocolates, or dinners involved.

    What is the real beauty of Valentine's Day?

    Armor Up.

    Fight the Good Fight.

    Seek Beauty.
