Summary

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

Segment 1

• What do you mean when you say that God desires tear-filled converts instead of fear-filled converts?

• Why don’t you use illustrations or personal stories in your preaching?

Segment 2

• Should Christians leave bad business reviews if a company wronged them?

• Are women as deacons biblically supported?

Segment 3

• What should a church member do if they discover their pastor is using AI to write or heavily edit sermons?

• Is anointing your home with oil a biblical practice or superstition?

Segment 4

• What counts as “secondary issues” in theology?

• Why would you attend a Catholic funeral but not a Catholic wedding—what’s the difference?
