Abraham and Isaac: Does God condone child sacrifice? Mar 04, 2026

Show notes

One of the most harrowing accounts in the Old Testament, this story from Genesis 22 raises all kinds of troubling questions for us: Does God condone child sacrifice? Does this story teach that it’s permissible for us to commit evil in the name of God? What about the impact on Isaac? And perhaps most relevant for us today: with texts such as this in the Bible, how can we trust that God is good and that he will be good to us?

Can Jesus help me choose a valentine? Feb 11, 2026

Show notes

While we are always encountering new questions from college students, it is still the case that the topics of singleness, dating, and marriage come up in conversation more frequently than any other. So in honor of Valentine’s Day, this week Jo and Vince are re-posting a previous episode on how to engage in relationships in a way that reflects Jesus’ own approach to choosing us!

What does the Christian faith say about suicide? Jan 28, 2026

Show notes

Some of us are hurting so much that living each day is a struggle. Others wake up every morning to the anguish of having lost a loved one to suicide. In either case, the question of what happens after death to those who have taken their lives is a deeply personal and painful question. This week on Ask Away, Jo and Vince discuss the hope of the Christian faith for those who are carrying these heavy burdens. They also encourage those of you who are feeling overwhelmed that you don’t have to go through this on your own—professional help is available and can really make a difference, as can the support of your community and your local church. If you’re in the US and you need immediate help, you can call or text 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline ( 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline ). You can also text HOME to 741741 to reach the Crisis Text Line at https://www.crisistextline.org. If you’re in immediate danger, please call 911 (or whichever national emergency number applies to your current location). You are not alone; support is available.

When is someone ready to receive an invitation to follow Christ? Jan 14, 2026

Show notes

Do you have people in your life who have heard about your faith and have engaged with you on spiritual topics, yet you are longing for them to actually respond to the Gospel? But when is the right time to extend an invitation to them to follow Christ? Are they ready? What if they aren’t? Should the invitation be the culmination of a process of sharing the faith or the very starting point for it? And shouldn’t an invitation be experienced as an honor and a gift, even if someone feels they need to RSVP “no”? Vince considers these and other related questions on this week’s Ask Away, as he invites each of us to make it a New Year’s resolution to be more invitational with the Gospel in 2026! ------

Peace on earth—really? Dec 18, 2025

Show notes

These days, any measure of peace feels hard to come by. Whether we’re at war with one another or at war with ourselves, we are always conflicted over one thing or another. Under such conditions, the angelic announcement of “peace on earth” seems hopelessly naive. But what if peace were more than an empty promise or a futile proposition? This Christmas, the Ask Away podcast considers the implications of this question: What if peace came to us as an actual person?

Does the Bible endorse chattel slavery? (and other Old Testament live Q&A) Nov 26, 2025

Show notes

Does the Bible endorse chattel slavery? How could a loving and just God command the killing of civilian populations? Does the Bible teach that women's bodies are inferior? Did God tempt Job? Why is it that according to Old Testament law, only women (and not men) had to endure a trial for perceived unfaithfulness? In this week's episode of Ask Away, Jo Vitale responds to live Q&A questions based on some of the most difficult passages of the Old Testament. To watch the entire event hosted by the Jude 3 Project at the Museum of The Bible, which includes New Testament questions answered by Dr Esau McCaulley, go to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXdCZ7AwBZY

How can I make sense of life? Nov 12, 2025

Show notes

Imagine jumping into a game without knowing when it started, when it will finish, what the rules are, or even the objective—without that information, your participation would be totally meaningless! And yet, how many of us are walking through life without answers to those same fundamental questions? In this episode of Ask Away, Vince suggests that every person needs answers to these questions, and only one person can provide them.

For many of us, it feels incredibly stressful to unexpectedly find ourselves in a religious or political conversation with anybody, friend or stranger, who holds radically different views from our own. When that happens, how do you handle the situation? And what does the other person walk away thinking and feeling, after they have encountered you? This week on Ask Away, Jo Vitale considers how Jesus Christ handled being in a similar situation, and what his approach means for us today.

The End of Desire: Are desires good or bad? Oct 08, 2025

Show notes

We all have desires, but what are we supposed to do with them? Which makes for a better life—pursuing or suppressing desires? Indulging them or fearing them? In this episode of Ask Away, Jo and Vince talk about the role of desire in the Christian faith, and if the real problem might not be that we want too much, but that we’re settling for far too little.

How much time should I spend with God and at church each week? Sep 24, 2025

Show notes

Perhaps the two greatest callings for a Christian are to live with God and to live with God’s people. Tragically, many who go by the name Christian are doing neither, having been deceived into settling for the counterfeits of believing intellectually in God and going to church. What if we need to completely reframe how we conceive of the Christian life? If you’ve been trying to live as a Christian for a long time but always find yourself thinking, “Is this really it?,” this episode is for you.
