#115 – I've Got A Question For You
Knowing Faith
The Trinitarian Prayer
Jesse asked if you can only one dessert for the rest of your life, what would it be? He's really simple. It's guac from a chicken guac. But from where? Media from scratch. They put that bacon in there. Oh man. I missed that stuff so much. We're having never again Smoked.
Jen Wilkin, JT English, and Kyle Worley answer listener questions and continue their debate on Christophanies.
Questions Covered in This Episode:
- Lots of questions on Instagram about the Enneagram: How should we approach the Enneagram? Some suggest it’s not a biblical tool.
- Is it wrong to present Bible stories to Kids in ways that leave open room for misinterpretation solely to make it more palatable? For example, not mentioning the massive loss of life during the flood...
- What’s happening when Jesus breathes on the disciples in John 20?
- Should worship leaders include spontaneous worship into a Sunday service? Or is that reserved for personal worship only?
- Why, in Ps 51:4 does David say "against you only have I sinned," when he clearly has sinned against both Bathsheba and Uriah? How can I make sense of this?
- What are common decisions and ways churches unknowingly undermine a healthy ecclesiology?
- Thanks for the show notes! What are some good resources for connecting the family lines, relationships, & blessings/curses from the OT through to the NT? What can help me not miss the references original readers would have understood?
- Can we get a last exchange on Christophanies and Theophanies?
- In light of Genesis, take your pick. Sega Genesis or Super Nintendo? On a more serious note. If you were to teach a Bible study through Mark’s Gospel, what are some overarching themes and ideas you would want to emphasize?
