How do we Evangelize to Catholics and Other Denominations? Apr 27, 2023

Show notes

Full question: We tend to evangelize only to those who don't know Jesus at all. I think I am just curious how important it is to evangelize to Catholics, or those who aren't exactly believing everything theologically "correct". I understand Mormons believe very different things about God and Jesus and can see why we would need to spread the gospel to them. But what about people who are believing Mary was sinless or that we have to work for our faith? How do we go about this?

Is The Perpetual Virginity and Sinlessness of Mary Sound Theology? Apr 20, 2023

Show notes

Full Question: I wanted to see what you thought about the perpetual virginity and sinlessness of Mary. I grew up never having talked about this but a friend of mine has been explaining this church doctrine to me. In my research, I found that apostles and church leaders, including ones that evangelicals look up to like Martin Luther and Zwingili, believed and didn’t question this doctrine. I’m torn on the issue but want to know your thoughts and the implications of believing or not this doctrine and whether it is sound theology.

Where Did Pharaoh's Magicians Get Their Power? Apr 06, 2023

Show notes

Full question: I’m curious about Exodus 7:10-11, and really this whole part of the Exodus story, where pharaoh’s magicians were repeatedly able to duplicate the miracles Moses and Aaron performed. How were they able to do this, and does this mean that there’s more to the idea of magic than we think?

Show notes

Full Question: Is there any Biblical support that there will be chips and queso in heaven? I’ve heard some say the streets of gold might actually be cheese. Do you think there is any validity here?

How Do You Choose a Church? Mar 30, 2023

Show notes

Full Question: My Fiancé and I are getting married in December and are moving to Bowling Green, Kentucky. We’ve both gone to the same church our entire lives and will be starting the process of looking for a church home. I just wanted to ask you for some guidance in how to find the right church and how to separate necessities (non-negotiables) from preference? As well as overcoming pride and the expectations of what we’ve already experienced in a church our whole lives and being disappointed when a church isn’t exactly that?

Why is Wisdom a Woman in Proverbs? Mar 23, 2023

Show notes

Full Q: I've got a good one that came up in a small group tonight! In Proverbs (and probably many other places) why is wisdom a woman? It's obviously referring to Jesus in many ways. But regardless, why female?

Are There Different Levels of Sin? Mar 16, 2023

Show notes

Full Q: We are studying Romans. We were in chapter 2:1-16 today. The person leading today made an interesting comment. She said there are “degrees” of sin. Many tried to ask her to explain and a few tried to point out that the consequences are different but sin is sin in God’s eyes. She was using scripture but it was very confusing. What does God’s Word say about this and could you give me specific scriptures to study?

Should Christians Watch The Chosen? Mar 09, 2023

Show notes

Full Q: I would love to know your thoughts about how we should take the series, The Chosen? So many Christians, we know, are watching it and there have been over 400 million views worldwide. We love the idea of Jesus and the Disciples going viral, but have a few problems with our kids seeing some of the creative additions, such as: Jesus appearing to practice, to get his words right, before having a sermon (he’s God right?) and Mary Magdalene being called Lilith. We’d like to support it, but also have reservations.

Is Letting ‘Jesus Take The Wheel’ The Right Perspective? Mar 02, 2023

Show notes

Full Q: I’ve heard a lot of people say “let Jesus take the wheel,” meaning Jesus takes control of your life and “steers” it where he wants. I have also heard someone compare it to Jesus being in the passenger seat. He tells you where to go, and you can either obey him or go your own way. I kind of feel like “Jesus take the wheel” isn’t realistic because you aren’t forced to obey him. What do you think? Which view is more realistic?
