Is it possible to be redeemed? (feat. Rev. Dr. Chap Clark)
Question 19 • February 16, 2021 • Chap Clark, Rob Clark, Mike Moffitt
Rev. Dr. Chap Clark joins us to venture through listener emails and question 19: Is there any way to escape God's punishment? What assumptions lie behind this question, and is it the right question to ask? What does it imply about God, and how does Jesus life, death, and resurrection not only help answer it, but also help reframe the question itself?

What is a Dollar Tree...I mean, "Idolatry"?
Question 17 • February 2, 2021 • Amanda Wood, Mike Moffitt
The idea of an "idol" might conjure images of Indiana Jones with a little gold statue, or an '80s rock star, or a popular American TV talent show. But what are idols in the Bible? And are they a threat to the very things they promise to provide?

What is Sin? (feat. Rev. Dr. Jim Mead!)
Question 16 • January 25, 2021 • Jim Mead, Mike Moffitt
Sin -- is it about breaking rules? Is it personal, communal, or both? What does it tell us about ourselves and the character of God?

Question 15 • January 19, 2021 • Mike Moffitt, Aaron Stewart

Did God create us unable to keep his law?
Question 14 • January 11, 2021 • Mike Moffitt, Rob Clark
"You be nice!" (George Costanza from the show, "Seinfeld") But can we? If we're unable to follow God's law, were we created that way?

A Word from Mike - Spirit of God

What does God require in the sixth, seventh, and eighth commandments?
Question 11 • November 30, 2020 • Mike Moffitt, Randi Downs, Billy Repenning
Billy helps us dive into the complexities of three commandments that otherwise look pretty simple: don't murder, don't commit adultery, don't steal. But are they?
