Continuing right along through the Ten Commandments, we come to commandment number 8 - do not steal. Like the rest of the commandments, this may seem like an easy one but as we'll see, there's more to it than we often are willing to recognize. This week we welcome back Caleb Powers from the Christian Artist podcast to join in the discussion.

I was saddened to hear of the death of apologist and theologian Norman Geisler. Though I would disagree with some of his material, he was a defender of the faith and greatly used of God. About ten years ago I had the chance to sit down with Dr. Geisler and recorded a very quick interview. So, in his honor, I thought I would air that interview this week.

And we're back to the Ten Commandments! In this episode Pastor Michael Carl of the Christ the King Charismatic Episcopal Church in Wakefield, MA joins us to chat about adultery. Listen in as chat about the difficulty of marriage, how the words of Jesus shed light on this commandment and how we may find ourselves dangerously close to cheating on our spouse without necessarily knowing it.

From bakers in Colorado to to clerks in Kentucky to new legislation passed in Georgia and Alabama, everyone is talking about the issues of life, marriage, and religious liberty.

Joining us is one of the contributors to that book, Bruce Ashford.

Happy Father's Day! In this special edition of the podcast, Sean Teis joins us to talk about his ministry to fatherless children and single moms. Sean travels across the country fulfilling James 1:17 by pointing people to Jesus through visiting the widow and the orphan. This is a great ministry that you need to know about. We also chat about the importance of fathers and encourage those Dads who may be a bit discouraged themselves today.

"Thou shalt not kill." Seems pretty simple, right? Before you pass over this episode as something that doesn't apply to you, think again. What did Jesus say about this topic? In this episode, fellow Christian School teacher, and former co-worker, Gary Zimmerman (Rockford Lutheran School) joins me to talk about the Sixth Commandment (though Gary believes it to be the fifth commandment).

This week we talking about honoring your father and mother. Is there a difference between honoring and obeying? What if your parents aren't very honorable people? How does this commandment apply to adults? These are the questions we ask Dr. Dan Burrell, the Executive Pastor at LIFE Fellowship Church in Cornelius, NC and the author behind the Whirled Views blog.
