Dummies With Wisdom

The two of us decided that DWW has run its course and it is now time to move on to other things. For those who have listened over the years, we truly thank you and hope that we have been able to impact you positively in some way. This is the final episode where we reflect on the last 3 1/2 years of Dummies With Wisdom.

So many churches sit empty 5 or 6 days a week. Is this acceptable? Is it not? Is there something in our philosophy of ministry that we should change?

Today the Dummies discuss two issues: First, where do we stand on coffee shops in church lobbies? Second, is it okay for churches to take on debt?

In this episode, the Dummies discuss Dave Ramsey and his Financial Peace University. Is his program good or bad? Is it biblical? Should churches promote it?

Today, the Dummies dive into self defense. Is it biblical? What about if you're protecting property? Is there a difference between self defense with a gun or with other weapons?

Today's episode is all about youth. What should youth group look like? Should the youth area be separate from the rest of the church? How should church adults interact with the church youth?

In this episode, the Dummies discuss church leadership. What should the structure generally be? What sort of mindset should the leaders have? What problems have we seen in church leadership structures?

Paul's writings in the New Testament have been the core of the debate about woman pastors. Today, the Dummies discuss theology of women's roles inside and outside the church. Was Paul writing to a specific culture and time, or is this instruction for us today? Where is the line between what we find acceptable and unbiblical? Is the Bible clear at all about this topic?

In the gospels, Jesus makes it clear that he submits himself to the Father. But is there a hierarchy in the Trinity? Where does the Spirit fit in? Do the three persons of the Trinity submit out of choice or is it an existential hierarchy? Is there a hierarchy at all?

From a listener's question, how should Christians respond to a friend who has a pregnancy outside of marriage, especially if there seems to be no remorse?
