Join Andrew, David and Michael as they follow-up on a previous question about a pastor having too much power in a local congregation: "What about when too much power is concentrated in the deacons' position?"  Where does authority properly lie in the church?

Join Andrew, David and Michael as they talk about complementarian versus egalitarian views in the church, patriarchy, and how Christian husbands should relate to their wives.  Specifically, should Christian husbands compare themselves to Jesus when He is described as more glorious than the Bride in Revelation 19?  Isn't that an arrogant position for followers of Christ to take?

Join Andrew, David and Chris as they consider how to minister to someone who struggles with doubt in their Christian walk.  Can true Christians experience doubts about their faith, the faithfulness of God, the veracity of the Scriptures?  What do we do when we are in the midst of such doubts ourselves, and how do we minister to a friend or loved one who is suffering under such confusion?

Join Andrew, David and Chris as they discuss biblical church polity, particularly in light of how many Baptist churches tend to concentrate power and authority into a single, personality-driven senior pastorate.  How do you guard against pastors becoming abusive when there are no checks and balances?  Is a deacon-led church following a biblical model, or should churches also have elders?

Join Michael, David and Dillon as they consider what role creeds and confessions should play in the modern church?  It is clear that Scripture is the final standard by which we are to evaluate truth, so what is the right place for these extra-biblical doctrinal statements that have been passed down through the ages?

Join Michael, Chris, David and Dillon as they take up the question of how to counsel a man who has become a Christian but brings along the baggage of polygamous relationships, for example converting from an Islamic or Mormon context?  Should he divorce all but the first wife?  We see polygamy practiced in the Old Testament.  Why do we say it is wrong now?

Join Michael and Andrew as they ponder another listener's question: "How can a Christian defend his faith rightly?"  What does Christ, our Lord and Master, have to say about how His followers should respond when they enter into conflict over theological ideas and the truth of the Scriptures, either with those inside the church or those outside the church?

Join Michael and Andrew as they consider the role of "prophetesses" in the Bible, particularly in light of Paul's instruction that he does not allow a woman to have authority over a man in the church due to the order God imposed at creation.  Did God raise up prophetesses to simply highlight His people's sinfulness in the Old Covenant, or should this function be seen as normative today in Christ's church (e.g. female pastors)?

Join Michael, Andrew and Chris as they ponder a very important question: "Can a Christian lose their salvation?"  Can we have assurance that Christ's redeeming grace is sufficient to save and keep His own until the end, or should we be constantly concerned that our personal holiness is unable to maintain God's favor?
