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. With perfection being the case in heaven, is there a need for the Holy Spirit? What will He even do if He is there with us? We look through some definitions and Scriptures on what the Holy Spirit does here on Earth within the believer and allow the Word to influence how we see the role of the Holy Spirit when we are someday experiencing the New Heaven and New Earth. We hope this is a helpful episode in further understanding the Holy Spirit and appreciating what He does!

We know that God values human life, so why does he prescribe Israelites to kill entire nations, even women and children?

On today’s podcast, Pastor Derek and Pastor Jackie talk through a listener question regarding some of God's commands to wipe out enemies nations in the Old Testament. We talk through how to understand the killing of even women and children and how we shouldn't take every action in the Old Testament as a prescription for how to act today.

What is the history of the New Testament writings and how were they determined to be viewed as Scripture? Are things lost in translation that would impact our core doctrines?

On today’s podcast, Pastor Derek and Pastor Jackie talk through a listener question to look at a high level view of the reliability of the New Testament. We look through what the Bible says about itself in this regard, as well as other secular historical proofs, archeology, and science to prove why the New Testament is incredibly reliable and something that we can hold onto with confidence as we read it today!

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. This passage has been used to discredit God and the Bible as a whole, but we dig into why this passage proves God's love for women and that His commands to the Israelites led to treating even enemy women with more dignity and respect than any other nation of the time.

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. We see that God has always been the same and that turning the other cheek may not mean what you think it does!

Prophets like Elijah and Elisha had full confidence that God would answer their prayers, from opening the eyes of their servant to see the spiritual realm to calling down fire to stopping rain for years. Does it work like that today for us?

On today’s podcast, Pastor Derek and Pastor Jackie talk through a listener question to look how prophets understand God's will and pray with confidence. From there, we dig into how things are similar and different for us today and how to pray with a similar confidence!
