Welcome to this episode of Real Christianity. My name is Dale Partridge.

Each week I offer 15-20 minute answers to tough theological and pastoral questions.

This is a 100% listener supported audio ministry of relearn.org.

And for those who don't know, our mission at relearn.org is to educate and equip ordinary

Christians to plant biblical, confessional, and mission house churches.

For more information, just visit relearn.org-forthslashhouse.
