1. 0:14 Does Vivek Ramaswamy have a biblical view of Jesus and the Gospel?
2. 16:15 Is Genesis 1:3 the moment Lucifer was made (Morning Star, first creation, first worker, Genesis 1:31 jealous of mankind, new standard very good)? Please also see Ezekiel 28:11, Genesis 3:1, Isaiah 14:12, Luke 10:18.
3. 24:22 The Parable of the Laborers (Matthew 20) says we get the same reward in Heaven, but the Parable of the Tenants (Matthew 25:14-30) says we get different rewards based on our works. How do we reconcile this?
4. 34:38 Why do Christians continue the tradition of using "LORD" for YHWH in modern translations, and why isn't this practice blasphemous or wrong as groups like the Jehovah’s Witnesses would argue?
5. 42:33 In Acts 19:5-7, it says there were 12 men in total that began prophesying and speaking in tongues. How does this align with Paul’s direction to limit tongues to 2 or 3 people in 1 Corinthians 14:27?
6. 51:42 J. Warner Wallace talks about sanctification as a long hallway between justification and glorification. If some people still make it to glorification without the hallway, why is it necessary at all?
7. 55:28 Hey Mike, what does it mean to "not provoke your children to anger"? Scripture instructs us to discipline our kids, and Hebrews 12:6 allows for the use of punishments, so what counts as provoking?
8.58:44 I do TikTok lives reading Scripture and sharing insights I've found. But does 1 Timothy 2: 11-15 make this sinful for me as a woman? I truly want to know how to please God.
9. 1:01:38 I recently came to Christ and since have been on fire for Christ. My wife has been a Christian all her life and often compares her walk to mine and wonders why she doesn't have the same fire. Advice?
10. 1:05:53 This might sound weird, but sometimes thinking of God as perfectly good and loving makes me doubt. Can we really be so lucky to have the best-case scenario God?

I don't share this in a lighthearted way. If children are in danger and victims are left undefended, then those who can do something should do something. If Greg is telling the truth, then he can do something. If he is lying, he needs to publicly admit it. But I've learned too much over the past year and a half to just ignore such strong accusations accompanied by claims that Greg has proof to back them up.

Of the two videos I showed you, I can only find one still available online. Here's the full sermon where Locke said the stuff about Joel Osteen. That portion starts around 1:05:00 in. Click Here

0:00 - Intro
1. 2:06 {Cover-Up Culture Continues} How leaders we exposed are still covering up.
2. 1:02:03 {About “3rd Wayism”} I have great admiration for believers like Gavin Ortlund & Alisa Childers. The two come down on different sides on the idea of “3rd Wayism,” both for very biblically compelling reasons. It’s actually a bit frustrating! What are your thoughts on these competing postures? Can you offer up a 4th way?
3. 1:06:17 {Donald Trump’s Recent Statements} Will you please address recent issues and blasphemous statements surrounding President Donald Trump?
4. 1:14:31 {Why Store Up Treasure in Heaven?} The Lord talked about storing treasures in Heaven (Matthew 6:19-21). Why does that matter? Isn't being able to stay in Heaven enough?
5. 1:18:20 {John 1 – What is “The Light”?} Does John 1:9 mean that literally everyone ever born has witnessed "the light" (Jesus)? Is this "light" perhaps the same thing referenced by Paul in Romans 1:20?
6. 1:23:42 {Physical Bodies in Heaven: Why?} My friend asked, what is the significance of a physical body in the resurrection (no marriage)? I know there's more to having a body than reproduction, but I’m curious of your thoughts.
7. 1:27:49 {Understanding the Tower of Babel} I would love to hear a simple explanation of the Tower of Babel. I’ve never once heard a pastor teach it. Could you briefly explain what is going on there? Is it meant to be historically accurate?
8. 1:35:57 {How to Challenge Your Pastor’s Teaching} I’m unsure of how to raise a concern: my pastor’s sermon points, while not unbiblical, don’t seem to reflect the passage’s plain meaning. He’s the only pastor/elder. What should I do?
9. 1:40:05 {Command vs. Conscience?} Could you help me to better reconcile Acts 15:28-29 with 1 Corinthians 8:10? Acts makes it seem like a necessary command from the Spirit, but later it seems like a conscience issue.
10. 1:52:33 {Dating: How Important Are Feelings?} Is it wise to enter into a relationship with a person who is godly, a really good Christian, and logically looks like a good idea, but there is a lack of feelings/emotions toward that person?

Today's Timestamps:

0:00 - Intro
1. 1:08 {Images of Jesus: Idolatrous?} Are images of Jesus breaking the 2nd Commandment?
2. 32:44 {Nathan: A False Prophet?} Did Nathan prophesy falsely when he told David to build the temple (2 Samuel 7), specifically when he says “the Lord is with you”?
3. 37:43 {Bad Things: Always Spiritual Warfare?} How much should we attribute things to spiritual warfare? I know some who say almost anything bad that happens is warfare, especially when leading up to or following good things in life.
4. 45:23 {Different Churches & Matthew 18?} With a narcissistic family member from whom I experienced abuse, if they deny wrongdoing and I don’t attend the same church, would Matthew 18 still apply? What would be the best path?
5. 50:44 {Greek gods Assignment: Idolatry?} My 11-year-old son refused to create a poster in school on a Greek god, feeling it was too idolatrous, and speaks out for Jesus in class. I love his boldness for Christ, but would you consider this idolatry?
6. 52:23 {Millennial Kingdom: Festivals Then & Now} People quote Ezekiel 44:24, Zechariah 14:16-21, and Leviticus 23:41 to say we will continue to celebrate the appointed festivals in the Millennial Kingdom. So why would we stop now and celebrate Easter, etc.?
7. 1:00:26 {Emotional Intentionality & Scripture?} Is there a way to make Scripture affect you emotionally so you become encouraged, or do you just have to wait for God to do that in your heart?
8. 1:05:25 {Apostles: 12 or 13?} In Acts 1:21-23, the Apostles select Matthias to replace Judas as the 12th Apostle. Later on, Paul becomes an Apostle. Was Matthias replaced as an official Apostle or were there then 13 Apostles?
9. 1:14:27 {Polygamy in Song of Solomon?} I want to receive from Song of Solomon, but it is difficult for me because it looks like the context is polygamy (Song of Solomon 6:9). What do you recommend?
10. 1:21:12 {Online Ministry: Respecting Church Elders} I want to start a Christian YouTube channel. Do I need to talk with my local church? I am currently an elder intern and want to know if I should wait till they lay hands on me (1 Timothy 5:22).

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?

Question Time Stamps for Quick Reference:

0:00 - Intro
1. 0:07 {The Meaning of “Jew”} When the New Testament uses the word “Jew,” who is it referring to?
2. 23:41 {Serving When We Don’t Want To} I know I’m supposed to serve, but to be honest, I’m always tired and would rather go home and relax after church. I’m ashamed of that, considering all Jesus did for me, but it's true. Lately I challenged myself to just obey with a good attitude when asked, but even then, I feel so guilty knowing I didn’t want to.
3. 27:17 {Celebrating Black History in Church?} Is it appropriate for a church to dedicate a service in celebration of Black History Month? If not, in what ways could it be a cause for concern?
4. 30:21 {Believes in Purgatory – Still Saved?} Can a person who trusts Christ for her eventual salvation but thinks she might have to go to purgatory first be saved?
5. 37:09 {Bad Tree Bearing Good Fruit?} In Philippians 1:15-18, Paul rejoices when Christ is preached from strife and selfish ambition. How is that not a bad tree bearing good fruit (Matthew 7:18)?
6. 44:22 {The Divine Seed Doctrine?} Have you heard of the “Divine Seed” Doctrine that states that Christ was born solely of the seed of God and not from the egg of Mary and that His flesh was a kind of divine flesh?
7. 49:01 {About Jesus or About Israel?} As someone who engages with Hebrew Roots folks often, how can Matthew interpret “Out of Egypt I called my son” to mean Jesus, when the Old Testament passage is clearly about Israel?
8. 51:52 {Building Materials: Works or Teachings?} I've heard it taught that the building materials in 1 Corinthians 3:10-15 are a person's works, but reading the verses beforehand makes me think it's referring to teaching in the church. Thoughts?
9. 55:27 {Can a Christian Attend a Catholic Mass?} My husband’s family is Catholic, and we are traveling to see them for Easter. They want us to go to mass with them, but I feel uneasy about it now that I am an active Protestant believer. Should we go?
10. 59:08 {Lectio Divina & Spiritual Formation?} What are your thoughts on the Spiritual Formation movement including practices like Lectio Divina in non-denominational churches?

0:00 - Intro
1. 0:13 {Man of God Syndrome?} What is “Man of God Syndrome”? Responding to At Boshoff’s message.
2. 43:05 {False Teachings & Family Conflict} My brother attends At Boshoff’s church and wrote me off after I challenged At's teachings. He doesn't want to speak to me. It's terrible for the family. I don't feel like reconciling. How do I handle this?
3. 45:04 {Bad Leadership but Good Teaching?} The only church in our town doesn’t have a healthy leadership structure. The main pastor acts like an overlord. No council, no elders. He is proud and very arrogant. But the teaching is good. What do we do?
4. 47:52 {Evangelism: Not Afraid of Hell?} What do you say to someone who says they know they're going to Hell, but doesn't even want the way out?
5. 53:36 {Leaving Family for Military Service} I am a former member of the military and have a desire to go back to an elite unit. However, I feel anxiety leaving my wife and daughter for periods of time. How do I reconcile this?
6. 57:04 {2 Tim: Soteriological Implications?} What are your thoughts on 2 Timothy 2:24-26, and how does it inform your soteriology?
7. 1:02:09 {Jesus: “Everlasting Father”?} How do we reconcile Jesus being called "Everlasting Father" in Isaiah 9:6?
8. 1:05:59 {Baptism = Membership?} What are your opinions on the best practices for meaningful church membership? For a specific example, should baptizing someone immediately make them a member?
9. 1:12:49 {Can Fallen Angels Be Forgiven?} Does Hebrews 2:16 imply that fallen angels can never be forgiven? If not, what else could it mean?
10. 1:19:41 {People Pleasing vs. God Pleasing} I often obsess over others’ opinions of me and seek emotional validation deeply. How do I become freed from the need to be validated by others, and is there a way to satisfy that need in the Lord?
