Have a hard Bible question you’ve never been able to ask? In this listener Q&A episode of The Well Podcast, Pastor Phil Hopper sits down with host Pastor Chad Glover to answer hard questions about salvation, Calvinism vs. Arminianism, predestination, and how to interpret challenging passages of Scripture.

As Pastor Phil explains what it means to be “Calvin-ish,” the conversation turns to bigger questions about God’s sovereignty, human responsibility, and how to approach difficult passages of Scripture. From Pharaoh’s hardened heart to Israel, Zionism, and the 144,000 in Revelation, the discussion invites you to think deeply, search Scripture, and ask hard questions out loud.

Does God exist, and how can you know He is real? In this episode of The Well Podcast, Pastor Phil Hopper and host Les Norman launch the “Ask Anything” series by exploring the evidence for God, the reliability of the Bible, the identity of Jesus Christ, and the purpose of life.

You’ll also hear why Christians trust Scripture, why the resurrection is central to faith, and why Jesus is the only way to God. If you are seeking answers, wrestling with doubt, or ready to grow in faith, this conversation is for you.

Why does Israel matter in biblical prophecy, and what should Christians believe about Zionism and replacement theology? 

In this episode of The Well Podcast, Pastor Phil Hopper sits down with Amir Tsarfati, founder of Behold Israel, to examine God’s promises to Israel through the Abrahamic Covenant and Scripture’s teaching on Israel, the Church, and salvation through Jesus Christ. Together, they address misconceptions about Zionism, growing hostility toward the Jewish people, and the dangers of replacement theology. 

This conversation will help you read the Bible with greater clarity, approach current events with discernment, and stand confidently on God’s unchanging promises.

How do we let God reset the dislocated parts of our lives — and what happens when we don't? In this episode of The Well Podcast, Pastor Chad Glover and host Les Norman dive into Nehemiah 8 to explore internal dislocation and the joy of restoration.

Pastor Chad shares how preaching and biblical community work together to reveal and heal our "dislocations," and why responding to Scripture with awe and obedience matters more than surface-level application.

This episode challenges believers to recognize the dislocated places in their own lives and lean into Scripture and biblical community for healing.

If God is sovereign and already in control of everything, why bother to pray? In this episode of The Well Podcast, Pastor Phil Hopper and host Les Norman explore the difference between God's foreknowledge and predestination, using the examples of Hezekiah and Nehemiah to show why prayer remains powerful and necessary.

You'll see how personal decisions can genuinely change outcomes, and how revival begins with personal repentance rather than blaming outside circumstances. This episode will challenge you to align your heart with God's plan and pursue a deeper prayer life. Take a real step toward revival, praying with the same confidence Nehemiah did.

Can Christians drink alcohol? In this episode of The Well Podcast, Pastor Phil Hopper and host Les Norman address one of the most debated issues in the church today. Referencing 1 Corinthians 6:12 and Galatians 5, they  show why Scripture permits liberty yet clearly warns against drunkenness and a life ruled by the flesh. 

They discuss how to distinguish personal convictions from doctrine, navigate the tension between legalism and “anything goes mentality,” and practice healthy accountability in areas like alcohol and entertainment. If you’ve wrestled with what freedom in Christ should look like in everyday decisions, this episode offers biblical insight and practical guidance for living a Spirit-led, surrendered life.
