Partially due to my age, but also because of simply not wanting any more! We also feel conflicted about not giving our son a sibling. I know it may be a silly question, but do you believe there are biblical reasons to try to have more than one child? -Emily Segment 4 I have been struggling with intense burnout at work.

Is that biblical? -Kaleb Segment 4 A ministry that I have supported for years has announced that it will invest in AI that is supposed to teach others the Gospel. Their goal, they say, is to “amaze” people with this, and they claim the church will be left behind unless we invest in AI like everyone else is doing. I feel opposed to this because I believe the Bible is clear about humans discipling other humans. I also worry that this ministry is exhibiting worldly thinking. -Justin I was just wondering if you had any advice on dealing with grief over apostate friends? -Joe There are many programs and educational institutions that charge money to understand the Bible (seminaries, colleges, etc) Is there anywhere in the Bible that prohibits financial transactions or the charging of money to others who want to better understand the Bible?
