Are strong emotional experiences required for salvation? Can you be a true follower of Jesus if you don’t "feel" saved? Many Christians wrestle with the gap between what they believe and what they experience during worship or Bible study time . But does the saving grace of Jesus come from a feeling or a decision?

This week, Frank unpacks the danger of grounding your faith solely on feelings. He also tackles other listener questions related to politics, culture, and from a liberal listener on parenting in a digital age. Questions addressed include:

• Is a lack of emotion during worship a sign of a weak faith?
• What are the 3 essential aspects of human psychology?
• How is marriage in this life an illustration of our ultimate union with Christ?
• What's the difference between "belief that" and "belief in"?
• Did Jesus tell us to stay out of politics?
• Are only atheists qualified to run the government?
• Why didn't God stop Satan?
• How can parents effectively shield their children from harmful content on social media?
• What does dangerous online content teach us about human nature?
