Segment 1

Segment 2

Is “once saved, always saved” biblical—or can you actually lose salvation?

Do all elders have to teach or preach—especially if they’re unpaid?

Segment 3

Can a confessional Lutheran and a Reformed Baptist actually be friends?

Is it wrong to keep your eyes open during prayer? Asking for a friend.

Segment 4

Can I confront my dad’s harsh treatment of my mom—or is that dishonoring him?
