    Ask A Question:

    thebridgechicago.tumblr.com/ask (Anonymous)

    It's a post-holiday All Emergency Round-up!

    We over stories about a failed Bible museum, data-mining powered evangelism, a prayer sponsored by Mark Wahlberg's Lent app, a real life biblical allegory, and good, old-fashioned end times grifting. Plus, Numerology Jed returns!

    Closing Song: It Is Well (Pete and Tasha Lawson)

  • 607- Red Heifer and Pancake the Pitbull

    Ask A Question:

    thebridgechicago.tumblr.com/ask (Anonymous)

    If you're listening to this, the eclipse wasn't the rapture. (00:00-19:10)

    I hear people talking about God “preparing their heart” for something. What does that mean?   Is that any different than preparing myself for something? (19:13-34:03)

     

    1 Corinthians 6 talks about how Christians shouldn’t sue each other in front of secular authorities. Not to be blasphemous, but that’s crazy right? That sounds like the kind of thing a church would say to stop someone from speaking out. (34:11-52:27)

     

    People talk about not “trusting the flesh” but also say we have to discern things. If I am the one discerning it, aren’t I just relying on myself and my flesh? (52:32-01:08:53)

     

    Closing Song: Bigger Than My Fears (The Bridge Loud)

    1 hr 13 min
  • 606- The Devil Demands A Recount

    Ask A Question:

    thebridgechicago.tumblr.com/ask (Anonymous)

    Intro and Double worship emergency! (00:00-18:34)

    How do I get better at being vulnerable either in groups or with people one on one? (18:48-31:10)

    What can I do to deal with controlling parents as an adult? (31:14-43:28)

    How do you have grace for someone who you think is doing their best, but it still acting manipulative and weird toward you? (43:31-01:01:42)

    Closing Song: The Easy Part is Hard (Jed Brewer)

    1 hr 5 min
  • 605 - Lifeway Couture

    Ask A Question:

    thebridgechicago.tumblr.com/ask (Anonymous)

    Intro and a follow up emergency (00:00-20:54)

    1 Corinthians 1:27 says God confounds the wise and strong. But other parts of the new testament say we should be wise and strong. How does that work? (21:31-32:35)

    How do I find my identity in Christ? Especially when I don’t really want to have my identity be “a Christian” because of all the baggage and weirdness around that? (32:38-46:59)

    What is important about Palm Sunday? It just seems like this weird little side story that doesn’t have much to do with the overall Easter narrative. (47:03-01:00:35)

    Closing Song: Psalm 139:14 (The Poolhouse Guru)

    1 hr 6 min
  • 604 - Spear of Joab Sold Separately

    Ask A Question:

    thebridgechicago.tumblr.com/ask (Anonymous)

    Intro and a Sunday school smokebomb throwing emergency (00:00-19:09)

    I have struggled with anxiety and depression. I am generally doing better. But, sometimes I feel those old habits starting to creep up. How do I respond when that happens? (19:21-29:50)


    My non-Christian or ex-Christian friends have a big problem with the idea of sin. In the sense that the idea there is something fundamentally evil about them has been used to make them feel bad. I kind of see their point honestly. Is there a way to think of sin without all the guilt and judgment? (29:54-45:12)

    The part in Matthew 4 where Jesus is tempted in the desert is weird to me. Why is there only one time the devil tries to tempt him, or even talk to him? It feels like this weird little side story that comes up once a year during lent. Am I missing something? (45:16-58:00)

    Closing Song: I Need Thee Every Hour (Lee Younger)

    1 hr 3 min
  • 603 - Communion S'mores

    Ask A Question:

    thebridgechicago.tumblr.com/ask (Anonymous)

    Intro and a sacred dessert emergency (00:00-19:30)

    I think I need to be more resilient. When things don’t work out, my initial reaction is to go to pieces. How do I grow in that? (19:37-34:31)


    When I pray, I sometimes get distracted because I am getting so angry. Can I work around this? (34:34-46:39)

    I grew up with Heaven being described as singing worship songs forever. That sounds…not good. Is the description missing something or am I? (46:45-59:42)

    Closing Song: This Is Not A Trade (Jed Brewer)

  • 602 - Joel Bonesteen, Pet Faith Healer

    Ask A Question:

    thebridgechicago.tumblr.com/ask (Anonymous)

    Intro and a miraculous emergency ((00:00-17:18)

    What does having a “Christ-centered” relationship actually mean? (17:30-30:19)


    How much can I disagree with a pastor or mentor? There is no such thing as someone who is right all the time. How much disagreement is normal? (30:23-48:11)

    The Bible says pretty clearly “God is love”. I hear Christians say that there is a balance to that in that God is also just. Are those opposites? Is one more important than the others? (48:16-01:01:38)

    Closing Song: Amos 5:24 (David and Alaina Coplin)

    1 hr 8 min
  • 601 - A Nonstop Block of Doctrine

    Ask A Question:

    thebridgechicago.tumblr.com/ask (Anonymous)

    Intro and a christian radio conspiracy (00:00-15:30)

    What do you do when you feel frustrated with God? Or frustrated with life, but that’s the same thing, right? (31:09-47:06)

    How much do I need to try at my job? I heard a lot growing up about “working as if for the lord, not for me” and “excellence in all things”. But, that kind of seems like a scam when it means do more work than I am getting paid for. (31:09-47:06)

    Hebrews 6:1 talks about “moving beyond the elementary teachings about Christ”. What does that mean? Are there extra teachings? How do you know if you’re ready to move on? (47:10-01:00:24)

    Closing Song: God Don't (Lee Younger)
