Why Do Christians...?

Mark Surprised Josh and Burt with this episode. They had no idea what we were going to talk about, and they DEFINITELY didnt expect Mark to create a Christian trivia game show. The best part is, only about half of the questions have proper answers. So sit back, relax, and enjoy 30 minutes of Mark trolling two pastors.

The Bible was written by God, right? Or... Well... Humans wrote it, but God inspired them... That\'s a credible explanation, right? In this episode we talk about why Christians can TRUST that God\'s Word is truly God\'s word. We also discuss the historical accuracy of the Bible, compared to other ancient texts.

There are lots of things we confuse with the Christian faith. Naturally, since Christianity involves eternal life after you \"die,\" questions are raised about ghosts. Are ghosts found in the Bible? Can a Christian believe in ghosts? Are ghosts actually demons? Most importantly, why did Burt shave? The answers, found here!

What exactly is a church membership? Am I supposed to be a \"member\" of my church? Does it cost anything?... because I\'ve already got enough subscriptions I pay for. This week Mark Dickey and Pastor Josh discuss what it means to be a member of a church, and how some churches view membership differently.

You may have heard someone praying at some point reference a \"hedge of protection.\" What exactly is a hedge of protection? A leafy wall doesn\'t exactly sound like something that could protect me, why not pray for titanium wall of protection? Or a spiritual forcefield? Well as often is the case, the \"hedge of protection\" comes from the Bible. In this episode, Mark, Pastor Burt, and Pastor Josh explore the hedge of protection, and other ways that God protects (and sometimes doesn\'t!)

More importantly, does Balaam\'s Donkey sound like Eddie Murphy? (Donkey from Shrek). All kidding aside; the Bible is full of strange things, but talking animals is one of those things that tends to weird people out, or make them disbelieve. Today we traditionally only see talking animals in children\'s stories or movies. But in the Bible, these talking animals are anything but childish.

You might think of baptism one way, but there are many different ways and circumstances that move Christians to get baptized. We do our best to cover all of the bases.

We\'ve also done an episode on baptism in the past that covers a different direction. Find that episode below.

Have you ever prayed this prayer?

Our Father in heaven,

Hallowed be Your name.

Your kingdom come.

Your will be done

On earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our debts,

As we forgive our debtors.

And do not lead us into temptation,

But deliver us from the evil one.

For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.

In this episode Mark, Pastor Josh, and... a special guest discuss the Lord\'s prayer found in Matthew 6.
