We have answers. If you have any questions, comments, conundrums, snarks, or ideas send them to idea@wretched.org. Segment 1 What is referred to as the”widow maker” regarding the heart is a blockage in the left main coronary artery. This may result in ventricular fibrillation but there are other causes of v fib. -Jason I have been born again since 2019. Before Christ I enjoyed the sin of secular rap music. Since being saved I have found Christian Rap that I enjoy. Is this sensual or am I being legalistic? -Zachary Segment 2 Is there a difference between how men and women should go about sharing the Gospel, and with whom? What practical advice can you give to women who want to engage in evangelism in their community? -Anonymous I have a married friend who says that she doesn’t want to have her own biological children because pregnancy sounds bad. She says she would rather adopt children instead. I don’t know how to encourage her or what to pray for her concerning this. Is she wrong to not want her own biological children? -Adrian There is a deacon in my church who always makes sarcastic comments. It seems like about everything. While I understand sarcasm, I also don’t believe Sunday morning worship to be the time or place for it. Any suggestions on how I can approach him about this? -Willam Segment 3 My dad recently said that he thought pastors should talk about the news and politics from the pulpit. Is that biblical? -Kaleb Segment 4 A ministry that I have supported for years has announced that it will invest in AI that is supposed to teach others the Gospel. Their goal, they say, is to “amaze” people with this, and they claim the church will be left behind unless we invest in AI like everyone else is doing. I feel opposed to this because I believe the Bible is clear about humans discipling other humans. I also worry that this ministry is exhibiting worldly thinking. -Justin I was just wondering if you had any advice on dealing with grief over apostate friends? -Joe There are many programs and educational institutions that charge money to understand the Bible (seminaries, colleges, etc) Is there anywhere in the Bible that prohibits financial transactions or the charging of money to others who want to better understand the Bible? Should not the understanding and study of the word be given freely? -Anonymous Our adult daughter has self identified as transgender and self diagnosed with multiple personalities. Our question is how do we Biblically navigate this? We cannot agree with her lifestyle and for the safety of our younger children feel we must keep her at arms length.
