Jen Wilkin, JT English, and Kyle Worley answer questions from listeners. They cover topics like eternal subordination of the Son, the closed nature of the canon and more.

Questions Covered in This Episode:

• Eternal Subordination of the Son and Complementarian Theology: Let’s talk.
• How do we defend the closed nature of the canon?
• What is the meaning of 1 Timothy 2:15 -- “women are saved through childbearing?”
• The doctrine of justification: reformed view v.s. NT Wright’s position?
• What did Jesus do in the three days between his death and resurrection?
• Why do women no longer cover their hair in worship? (Cor. 11:2-16)
• Does prayer change God’s mind?
• How do you define what is theologically essential?
• Per our episode on kid theologians: Is it dangerous to say things like “Jesus loves you” to potentially unsaved kiddos?
• If you’re a lay person, thinking about formal theological training to help you lead as a lay person, how do you approach choosing a degree? Master of Arts? Theology? MDiv? Focus in apologetics? Theology? Biblical studies? There’s so many options it’s hard to know where to start.

Helpful Definitions:

• Eternal Functional Subordination of the Son: A position that subordinates the Son’s divine will to the Father’s divine will.
• Tritheism: Three different god’s with three different wills.
• Complementarianism: All humans, both male and female, have been created in God’s image. We share in dignity, power, authority, the mission of God; but men and women are not interchangeable; they are distinct.
