Spirit of God E16 (Q+R) — Where did Jesus and his followers get the idea of being baptized by the Spirit? If we have the Spirit, do we need other people to help us understand the Bible? And when we’re filled with the Spirit, do we become more our true selves, or is it Jesus now living through us? In this episode, Tim and Jon respond to your questions from the Spirit of God series. Thank you to our audience for your thoughtful contributions to this episode.

Quotes:

"If you're somebody who trusts the Lord, there's no reason to fear death."

I think God's looking for faithfulness from us and the emotions come and go."

"I would ask Jesus, am I a fraud? "I just want to hear him say I'm not."

"Teenagers don't need another teenager."

Today we're joined by Dallas Jenkins, creator and writer/director/producer of "The Chosen," the first multi-season show on the life of Jesus. We talk about his career in filmmaking and how a career failure led to an important lesson that changed his life. He shares why he created the show and why it seems to resonate so deeply with people. Then, we discuss how much work truly goes into writing a show that uses the Bible as its source. The goal, for Dallas, is to ask, "What is biblically plausible?" as he gets insight from biblical, historical, and cultural scholars to craft the characters. We discuss criticism of the show, much of which has centered around skepticism about LDS involvement in the show's distribution. And ultimately Dallas reminds us that while "The Chosen" is based on the Bible and the life of Jesus and his disciples, it doesn't claim to be the Bible, as only the Bible itself is the true authority. You can watch the third season of "The Chosen" on the Chosen app.

The world has hurt women in its own ways. But what about the Church?

Cissie Graham Lynch, Billy Graham’s granddaughter and the daughter of Franklin Graham, believes some churches have weakened women by constantly appealing to their emotions rather than giving them what they really need: solid biblical teaching. Cissie joins Pastor Greg and Cathe Laurie to discuss more. To get the full interview, go to The Greg Laurie Show.

John Luke's living room has literally collapsed, forcing him and his family to move back in with Willie and Korie while repairs get underway. Al stirs up a Robertson family feud with a food competition that leaves everyone choosing sides. The guys kick off their new Hillsdale College course, Western Heritage: From Genesis to John Locke and dig into the surprising differences between biblical and ancient pagan creation stories, Israel's disastrous demand for an earthly king and the biblical principles that helped shape America's founding. They also examine the dangers of concentrated power, the roots of human equality and why history keeps proving that mankind struggles to surrender control to God.

Katie Souza claims to be a Christian but has some strange ideas, to say the least, that she is sharing online. From believing in mermaids and werewolves, to connecting aliens and hybrid children to the nephilim in the Bible, Katie has very sensational and occult-like opinions. Allie discusses Katie’s absurd stories that appeal to secret knowledge about the spiritual world and looks at how sensational ideas can work their way into Christian circles because they are interesting, despite not being found in Scripture. She also looks at how Scripture warns believers to not listen to teachers for entertainment value but for substance and truth.
