In this weeks episode of Inverted Orthodoxy, Pastors Kyle, Blake, and Doug discuss the following questions:

1. Being generous is an important aspect of being a Christian, I just listened to pastor Blake share about greed and generosity. My question is, how much should you give and be generous if you are in debt?

Should you tithe before paying off debts?

What would you recommend to help Get out of debt?

1. In relation to Blake's sermon this weekend on greed and his references to tithing, it made me wonder - if someone is tithing the traditional 10% whether it should be on gross or net income? I would imagine most people would do it on net income, but wouldn't that mean that our "first fruits" are going to the government and not God? Or, does that not matter since that is not money we have any control over and "first fruits" would be more in relation to what we do with the funds we actually receive or control? Not looking to be dogmatic on it, just curious about what you guys think.

2. I just finished reading Galatians with my teenage children and they would like to know why God picked circumcision as the symbol for being set apart as his people in the Old Testament? Do you have any explanations?

3. How would you advise parents to talk to their children about baptism? I was baptized with water when I was 10 and realized much later all of the implications of the action. What would you be looking for in a youth-aged person to show they understand and are ready to be baptized in water?

4. What image is in your mind when you think of Jesus, is it there when you pray ?
