Check out all the questions Preston tackled on today’s episode:

* What are your thoughts on spiritual gifts, cessationism vs continuationism?

* Should Protestants read the deuterocanonical books even if they don't agree they are inspired?

* What are your thoughts on Open Theism?

* Many people are converting to Catholicism and Pentecostalism. Do you have a theory for why these denominations are particularly reaching people in this time?

* Have you ever heard of the miracle of the holy fire? How should western Christians think about and relate to traditions and rituals in the eastern church?

* Matt. 16:19, 18:18. What does Jesus mean here: “Whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”?

* If events/people in Gen. 1-11 weren't "real," what about the Noahic covenant, genealogies, doctrines, etc based on them?

* Creative ideas for how we can biblically engage with pride month? In the past we have done prayer walks but that is kind of behind the scenes.

* Is marriage always to be officiated in public with witnesses? In other words, if vows were made privately does that count biblically as marriage?

* What unique challenges do you think a father faces when raising a daughter, and how should he address them?
