Segment 1

Why can’t we let go of coffee for a few hours on Sunday morning? Why do we need to be sipping coffee during the service? In my opinion, coffee in the sanctuary, is in some ways irreverent to God. -Marion

I am an 18-year-old college student who’s aspiring to go into the mission field. I understand that to be a missionary, I need to be an elder-qualified man. However, throughout my entire life, even after I was saved, I’ve struggled with lust and pornography. I’ve grown in self-control and faith, but still battle with it. Does this make me unqualified for eldership/missions? If not, how can I know I am qualified? -Ashton

Segment 2

I work a retail job, where the company supports the LGBTQ, but the company has not required us to participate or support in any way. But I also struggle with whether working there I might be sinning. -John

Segment 3

A lady I work with was upset over her sick dog. Someone wrote “Jesus loves you” on a post-it note and put it on her desk. She went to human resources complaining. I being the resident Christian got blamed, called into the office and told that I may not discuss religion or politics at work. The guy that actually wrote the note was given a day off without pay. Can they do this? Can they legally put a gag order on me? -Jim

My two sisters are converting to the episcopal church, help! How should I approach the subject with them? -Anonymous

Segment 4

How long should we continue praying for salvation for the most stubbornly hardhearted false preachers who are simply showing no sign of repentance, despite being prayed about for decades? How long before we start praying instead for their destruction? -Russell

At what point in a marriage does the husband’s loving self-sacrifice become excessive capitulation, or enabling a ‘me first’ mentality? -Anonymous
