Intro

Today's Time Stamps:

1. 2:15 {Rapture Predictions} Are rapture predictions always bad?
2. 35:26 {Teaching Kids Theology} What are some easy ways to explain hard theological concepts to my son as he grows up? He’s only 9 months old right now, but I want to be ready.
3. 38:22 {Jesus’ Stripes vs. The Cross?} My former church claimed that Jesus' stripes specifically paid for our sickness, while the cross paid for the rest, using Isaiah 53:5 to support it. Is this biblical?
4. 41:14 {Paul & The Cretans} What point was Paul making in Titus 1:12 when he quoted a "prophet" who said “Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, and lazy gluttons”?
5. 46:59 {Prenups Always Bad?} Is a prenuptial agreement ever biblical? My fiance’s parents want us to get one. In my opinion, prenuptial agreements undermine the permanence of marriage, its covenantal nature, trust, and unity.
6. 53:47 {Supporting Israel?} How do we know whether supporting what Israel is doing in Gaza is or isn't God's will?
7. 1:05:48 {The Moses Model: Biblical?} Given your Calvary Chapel background and current focus on church leadership structures vulnerable to abuse, how does the Moses Model ensure checks and balances on authority in the church?
8. 1:14:57 {Does History Really Repeat Itself?} With the death of Charlie Kirk, it feels like we are in times similar to the 60s. Is it biblical to think that history repeats itself, or is mankind just predictable?
9. 1:17:30 {What’s a Backslidden Christian?} What's a backslidden Christian? Is this the same as a Christian with thorny soil (Matthew 13, Mark 4, Luke 8)? And are they a slave to sin if they do sin? I'm afraid I'm this Christian.
10. 1:28:16 {Anxiety: Am I Doing Something Wrong?} I am a Christian and struggle with anxiety. It especially happens when I try to speak or when God is using me for something even around believers. It cripples me. Am I doing something wrong?

I'm taking questions from the live chat... here are the rules:

I do this live stream most Fridays at 1 p.m. Pacific Time. You're welcome to join.
To ask a question, you'll need to follow these instructions:
1. Don't post your question before you see me live on camera.
2. Post questions as comments in the LIVE chat at the beginning of the stream.
3. Post your question with "Q" at the beginning so we can easily identify that you are sending it in as a question for me and not just a comment in the chat.
4. Try to be as clear as possible so I won't misunderstand the question. Keep in mind that I don't know anything about your question other than what you type in that short comment.
5. Include specific verse references when possible or applicable.
6. Only one question submitted per subscriber, per stream, please. Submitting the same question into the chat a few times is OK.
7. Please understand that we don't strictly take the first 10 questions submitted. Our team takes several factors into consideration.
8. You can also check the "Clip Search" on BibleThinker.org in advance to see if your topic of interest has already been covered in a past session. I try not to answer the same questions over and over, so you may find what you need there.

My website is searchable and all the video and audio content is free:
