Answering the Fool

Join Michael, David and Chris as they consider when one should "answer the fool." When we encounter bad doctrine outside our own church, do we have an obligation to confront and correct it?

Calvinism and John 3:16

Join Michael, David and Chris as they discuss how Calvinists understand John 3:16? "For God so loved the world" and "whosoever believes in Him" seem to some to be opposed to the Calvinistic emphasis on God's sovereign electing grace.  Is this really so? Join us to hear a Calvinist's response.

Demon Possession

Join Michael, Andrew and Dillon as they work through another listener question: "Is there still demon possession today? If so, how do we identify it, and what do we do?"  Many Christians are concerned with the prospect of demonic activities in or around their lives.  How can the Bible help us understand and deal with this concern?

Finances

Join Michael, Andrew and Dillon as they thoughtfully consider a couple of listener questions related to finances: Is it okay for Christians to take advantage of government assistance programs like WIC, and is it appropriate to earn money from passive income?
