S2: Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit, Rick Warren, Female Leaders in the Early Church, and much more: Q & A with Preston Sprinkle

25 minutes

00:00 Introduction

0:48 What’s the best definition you have for blasphemy of the Holy Spirit?

4:26 What was the Most compelling part of your interview with Rick Warren?

11:14 Are we certain as Rick Warren claimed that women Christians did teach or preach at Pentecost?

11:53 What are your thoughts about MLK jrs history with adulteries and why it isn't talked about more given todays metoo movement especially in the church.

16:52 Were there examples of female leadership in churches in the second and third century?

22:44 Church services often feel like a weekly event or performance and like the main way of being part of a church. How do we practically move away from this?

33:38 Might all be vegetarian in the New Heaven and New earth because creation will be restored and death will be defeated?

37:10 I just found out my wife is pregnant. Any advice for a new dad?

41:13 It's clear that sex within marriage should stay within that marriage, but where in the Bible does it say that sex before marriage is wrong?

44:52 What are your thoughts on Christians watching movies with some nudity (e.g. Oppenheimer)? Is just looking away enough or do you think they should be avoided?

48:09 I’ve heard people use the phrase “spiritual covering” in reference to pastors/churches and husbands/families. Not sure what that means or the Biblical basis.

49:13 I'm leading a small discipleship group of students at a Christian HS. Where do I start with conversations around sexuality and gender?

53:16 How strongly have you and your family considered joining a house/micro church network, and why have you not so far?

57:10 What are your thoughts on “aliens” with recent disclosures in the media and from “Babylon”? How should the Church and Christian’s be thinking about these beings

1:00:28 How do I know what is a spiritual gift versus more traits and skills related to personality type, education, or job/volunteer experience?

1:01:56 Why did the Church decide that only believers are welcome at God’s table? The feeding of the 5,000 uses similar Greek to the LS passages. Isaiah 55 - everyone?

1:04:57 Rapid fire responses…
