From care for aging parents to concerns about money, life for modern-day Christians can feel, in a word, overwhelming. Russell Moore and Ashley Hales, CT’s editorial director for print, offer words of wisdom and a sense of solidarity with listener questions about all kinds of challenges. They provide practical advice, spiritual comfort, and reasons for hope in family life, social relationships, and society at large.

Questions addressed during this episode include:

• How might Christians think about forgiveness as it relates to encountering people in heaven who harmed us on earth?
• What are some practical ways to think about living in the tension of being misunderstood, or even gravely sinned against or abused, and not yet having resolution?
• How should believers respond to seasons of life when demands on their time and energy, such as aging parents, loss of a spouse, and grandchildren, leave them feeling overwhelmed and depleted?
• How can a husband and wife determine together whether or not they should stay in a certain congregation? 
• How should Christians think about desiring financial success?
• How can parents determine and apply technology filters to keep their children safe? 
• What might the next right step be for a believer who is dating an unbeliever and has crossed intimacy lines that are producing shame? 
• Could a particular judgment from God come against the American church? 
• What Scripture passages does Russell return to for encouragement in light of the dechurching phenomenon, increase of misinformation, and rising nationalism around the world?
