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? Some useful resources below.
