Greg answers questions about what Deuteronomy 13:11 means when it says that “all Israel will hear and be afraid,” whether we should “leave our offering at the altar” to reconcile with a bully, apathetic people, leading an Outpost as a woman, and accepting vs. resisting difficult situations.   Topics:

1. Does the phrase “All Israel will hear and be afraid” in Deuteronomy 13:11 refer to being afraid after hearing the punishment was carried out or being afraid after hearing what the prescribed punishment is for the crime? (02:00)
2. How does Jesus telling us to “leave our offering at the altar” to go reconcile with someone and to “take the log out of our own eye” apply to dealing with an evil bully? (11:00)
3. What would you say to an apathetic person or someone who compartmentalizes their religious life to help them see their need for the Lord? (24:00)
4. Do you have any guidance on how I could proceed to convince my pastor to let me lead an STR Outpost as a woman? (38:00)
5. Recognizing that we have personal responsibility and free will, and God is sovereign and all-knowing, how do we know if the difficult thing we’re going through is discipline from God and we should wait for his rescue or if it isn’t and we should try to resist it? (47:00)
