In this episode the boys are going over the question everyone thinks about but many are afraid to ask. They are shining a light on the different ways you can doubt and if it's ok to do so. 

- Where and how does this questioning usually start? 

- Old and New Testament examples of those doubting/questioning and how they were handled.

- Why questioning can be hurtful OR helpful to a person's walk with Christ. 

- What to do if you are questioning or doubting God and the Bible and you'd like to get out of it. 

• PREFACE: Doubting and Questioning are two different things. For the sake of this episode, there are times we separate these two and combine them. Questioning in the sense of asking questions from a posture of doubt is different than simply asking questions. Asking questions can be done because of doubt or because someone just simply has questions. It's always ok to ask question!

- What is a beatitude? What does the word beatitude mean?

The first person in the series is John the Baptizer! We dive into his life, his ministry, how his ministry ended, and how we can apply his walk with God to ours! We also dive into some interesting concepts like why he preached in the wilderness and why he said what he said to the Pharisees and Sadducees.

In this episode, the boys "tackle" a hard subject that is often times very controversial. They address the following statements/questions:

- "If your God is so good, why does he allow people to be affected by evil?"

- "If God knows all things,  wouldn't he stop Adam and Eve from sinning?"
