Does the Holy Spirit still dwell within us while in heaven? We know His role on earth, but what about heaven? On today’s podcast, Pastor Derek and Pastor Jackie talk through a listener question regarding the role of the Holy Spirit, specifically when we as believers enter into heaven.

Captives of war being forced into marriage...does God seem to promote sex slavery in Deuteronomy? On today’s podcast, Pastor Derek and Pastor Jackie talk through a listener question to look at a challenging passage on a very sensitive topic around the treatment of women after victory in war.

Turning the other cheek is one of Jesus' most well known sayings...but what does it actually mean? Are we supposed to be pacifists? Why did OT people pray for fire to rain down on enemies, yet we're supposed to turn the other cheek? On today’s podcast, Pastor Derek and Pastor Jackie talk through a listener question to look at why some prayers seem to differ from the New Testament and specifically why we are called to turn the other cheek rather than seek revenge on those who do us wrong.

Is a woman's only hope of meaning in having children? That sure seems like what Paul is saying in 1 Timothy 2:15. What do we make of this passage? On today’s podcast, Pastor Derek and Pastor Jackie talk through a listener question around a passage in 1 Timothy that seems to indicate that women are saved through childbearing.

On today’s podcast, Pastor Derek and Pastor Jackie talk through a listener question from a guy who loves Star Wars, but has recently been wondering which side of American politics falls on the Empire side and if he is unknowingly one of the bad guys.
