| 0:00.0 | Should Christians vote? How should Christians think about miscarriage? And why oppose laws that punish a woman who has an abortion if it ends the life of an innocent human being? I'm here with my colleague, friend, co-host Scott Ray. We've had people submit 10 good questions, and we have a bonus if we have time. |
| 0:23.7 | You ready to rock and roll and tackle some of these? |
| 0:25.9 | I love being able to do this. And we get, I think our listeners should know, we get way more questions than we can handle on a weekly cultural update. |
| 0:33.2 | For sure. |
| 0:33.8 | And so this is a backlog of questions. And what we're finding is about once a month, once every six weeks. We get a backlog of questions like this. And so it's a great opportunity for us to just go for it and take all the questions that we have. They're all good ones. They're all good ones. So I'm looking forward to getting into this. And there's a range of different topics, which I think is going to make it interesting. |

| 1:21.3 | or evidences that Jesus is God, I want to hear this person's story. |
| 1:25.9 | Of course. |
| 1:26.3 | Why did they leave the Christian faith? |
| 1:28.4 | Was it experiential? |
| 1:30.3 | Was it theological? |
| 1:32.2 | Was there hypocrisy that they saw? |
| 1:34.4 | Were they argued out of it? |
| 1:36.8 | And why doesn't this person believe that Jesus is God? |
| 1:40.2 | So step number one is if you want to bring somebody back to the fold of believing Jesus is God, |
| 1:45.0 | identify the problem first as best as you can and then address it. |
| 1:50.9 | So don't provide a theological answer for what might not be a theological question. |
