Summary

It’s Mailbag Friday! You’ve got questions, we’ve got answers!



Segment 1



• Are all children a gift from God—even when they grow up to do evil?



• Is keeping a backup plan doubting God’s call into ministry?



• Is throwing away old food sinful or just sensible?



Segment 2



• Does Todd know the Mailbag Friday questions ahead of time?



• Did the nicotine gum actually work for Todd?



• How do I honor my mom without affirming her ongoing adultery?



• Is it biblical to call the church “a hospital for sinners”?



Segment 3



• My adult child revealed past church abuse—should I take action or let it go?



• Should I call my son by his transgender name—or is that affirming sin?



• Can Christians still cast lots to make decisions today?



• Will we actually see God's face in heaven?



Segment 4



• Should I reconsider church membership if the pastor supports broad use of the death penalty?



• Was I a false convert if I responded emotionally to a fear-based play as a child?



• Why do some people use “Godhead” instead of “Trinity”?
