Question: Proverbs 22:6. I recently had a heavy conversation with some folks whose children are no longer/not currently living life in surrender to God. Apart from the idea of “were they really trained up in the way they should go”, how do we understand this verse, it’s context, and the reality of “prodigals” or (adult) children…

Question: How can it be beneficial for a non-clergy person to read the Bible at home when it is so easy to misunderstand and so harmful if those misunderstandings are implemented? Answer: Ooo, good question. It’s been noted by many that it may have been a dangerous idea to give everyone a Bible, since throughout…

Question: Does it really matter when the Sabbath is or when we have church? Ex: 7th day Adventist have church on Saturday but the rest of us don’t I faced this issue for the first time at a giant festival in Chicago where there was a guy with a poster that condemned everyone for choosing…

Across the Spider-Verse pushes its viewers to imagine other ways in which their lives could have gone, while wrestling with the idea of “canon” events. What about Jesus? Are there other ways his life could have gone? Were certain parts of the gospel, “canon,” in that they absolutely had to happen? If so, what parts?…

While rest and sabbath are important, we can sometimes turn such moments into apathy and laziness. As Christians, our job is to bring Heaven to earth, and we have all been gifted in unique ways to do so. Jesus expects that we are aware of this and that we will do something with what we’ve…

Jesus tells us to not live in anxiety, which isn’t always helpful when we’re actually dealing with anxiety. But Jesus also shows us how to deal with anxiety with his own life decisions and spiritual practices. What can we learn from that?
