Join us on Episode 33 of the Pastor | Scholar Podcast as we explore some of the most pressing questions Christians are asking today. From how to disciple children, to sharing truth with Catholic or charismatic friends, to responding biblically to criticism and immigration. What is true fellowship? Can Christians use social media without compromise? Is your local church preparing you for missions? These are not just cultural questions—they're biblical ones. Join us as we open Scripture and apply it with clarity and conviction.

In this episode, we challenge popular assumptions about tongues, healing, and prophecy by turning to Scripture. What if what many believe today doesn’t align with what the Bible actually teaches? The answers may surprise you.
