Today's Timestamps:

0:00 - Intro
1. 1:08 {Images of Jesus: Idolatrous?} Are images of Jesus breaking the 2nd Commandment?
2. 32:44 {Nathan: A False Prophet?} Did Nathan prophesy falsely when he told David to build the temple (2 Samuel 7), specifically when he says “the Lord is with you”?
3. 37:43 {Bad Things: Always Spiritual Warfare?} How much should we attribute things to spiritual warfare? I know some who say almost anything bad that happens is warfare, especially when leading up to or following good things in life.
4. 45:23 {Different Churches & Matthew 18?} With a narcissistic family member from whom I experienced abuse, if they deny wrongdoing and I don’t attend the same church, would Matthew 18 still apply? What would be the best path?
5. 50:44 {Greek gods Assignment: Idolatry?} My 11-year-old son refused to create a poster in school on a Greek god, feeling it was too idolatrous, and speaks out for Jesus in class. I love his boldness for Christ, but would you consider this idolatry?
6. 52:23 {Millennial Kingdom: Festivals Then & Now} People quote Ezekiel 44:24, Zechariah 14:16-21, and Leviticus 23:41 to say we will continue to celebrate the appointed festivals in the Millennial Kingdom. So why would we stop now and celebrate Easter, etc.?
7. 1:00:26 {Emotional Intentionality & Scripture?} Is there a way to make Scripture affect you emotionally so you become encouraged, or do you just have to wait for God to do that in your heart?
8. 1:05:25 {Apostles: 12 or 13?} In Acts 1:21-23, the Apostles select Matthias to replace Judas as the 12th Apostle. Later on, Paul becomes an Apostle. Was Matthias replaced as an official Apostle or were there then 13 Apostles?
9. 1:14:27 {Polygamy in Song of Solomon?} I want to receive from Song of Solomon, but it is difficult for me because it looks like the context is polygamy (Song of Solomon 6:9). What do you recommend?
10. 1:21:12 {Online Ministry: Respecting Church Elders} I want to start a Christian YouTube channel. Do I need to talk with my local church? I am currently an elder intern and want to know if I should wait till they lay hands on me (1 Timothy 5:22).

Question Time Stamps for Quick Reference:

0:00 - Intro
1. 0:16 {James Talarico & the Gospel of Thomas} Can you offer your thoughts on James Talarico and his teaching relating to the Gospel of Thomas?
2. 28:58 {Converting from Judaism} I’m a 19 year old Jewish believer. I want to get baptized and go to church, but my rabbinic/secular family is against it and some don’t know about my faith yet. How can I wisely share my faith without messing up?
3. 33:36 {How to Walk by The Spirit} Regarding Romans 8:4-6, how do we walk according to the Spirit and set our minds on the Spirit?
4. 39:21 {Denomination Boards = Eldership?} I’m wondering if elders are solely a local church function/office/role. Is a woman who is serving on a district or national denomination board biblically considered an elder?
5. 43:38 {Biblical Justification: Works Based?} I’m struggling DEEPLY with James 2:24 vs. Romans 3:28. Your best argument in the video you did on this 7 years ago was the definition of "justified." But my NIV Bible says "considered righteous."
6. 57:24 {God’s Calling, My Desires & My Fear} I feel drawn to teaching God's Word, but I’m also afraid. How can I tell if it's truly a calling from God and not just my own desire? I understand the responsibility and that scares me. Any guidance?
7. 1:02:12 {Serving, Selfishness & Complaining} I am really bad at serving without complaining. I resist change even when I know I’m going to get on board in a day or two. May I have counsel to let my selfish guard down?
8. 1:07:47 {“God’s Not Done…”?} Do you think there is anything wrong with the phrase “God isn’t done with you yet”? Can something like suicide diminish the amount that God would have used us?
9. 1:11:05 {“Purity Culture”: Too Far?} What is a biblical perspective of “Purity Culture”? Is it actually something that goes too far? I'm not just talking about abstinence before marriage, but the idea of purity rings, no dating, etc.
10. 1:16:35 {Miraculous Fakery: How do we Not Discard All Miracles?} I have found myself despising the miraculous due to the number of fakers out there. How do you guard against this as you have been working through exposing the fakery of the hyper-Charismatic church?

Question Time Stamps for Quick Reference:

0:00 - Intro
1. 0:07 {The Meaning of “Jew”} When the New Testament uses the word “Jew,” who is it referring to?
2. 23:41 {Serving When We Don’t Want To} I know I’m supposed to serve, but to be honest, I’m always tired and would rather go home and relax after church. I’m ashamed of that, considering all Jesus did for me, but it's true. Lately I challenged myself to just obey with a good attitude when asked, but even then, I feel so guilty knowing I didn’t want to.
3. 27:17 {Celebrating Black History in Church?} Is it appropriate for a church to dedicate a service in celebration of Black History Month? If not, in what ways could it be a cause for concern?
4. 30:21 {Believes in Purgatory – Still Saved?} Can a person who trusts Christ for her eventual salvation but thinks she might have to go to purgatory first be saved?
5. 37:09 {Bad Tree Bearing Good Fruit?} In Philippians 1:15-18, Paul rejoices when Christ is preached from strife and selfish ambition. How is that not a bad tree bearing good fruit (Matthew 7:18)?
6. 44:22 {The Divine Seed Doctrine?} Have you heard of the “Divine Seed” Doctrine that states that Christ was born solely of the seed of God and not from the egg of Mary and that His flesh was a kind of divine flesh?
7. 49:01 {About Jesus or About Israel?} As someone who engages with Hebrew Roots folks often, how can Matthew interpret “Out of Egypt I called my son” to mean Jesus, when the Old Testament passage is clearly about Israel?
8. 51:52 {Building Materials: Works or Teachings?} I've heard it taught that the building materials in 1 Corinthians 3:10-15 are a person's works, but reading the verses beforehand makes me think it's referring to teaching in the church. Thoughts?
9. 55:27 {Can a Christian Attend a Catholic Mass?} My husband’s family is Catholic, and we are traveling to see them for Easter. They want us to go to mass with them, but I feel uneasy about it now that I am an active Protestant believer. Should we go?
10. 59:08 {Lectio Divina & Spiritual Formation?} What are your thoughts on the Spiritual Formation movement including practices like Lectio Divina in non-denominational churches?
