Summary

Today's Time Stamps: 1. 0:20 {JD Vance’s Christian Concept} Is JD Vance’s “Christian concept” of love truly Christian?2. 28:00 {Resisting Temptation in the Workplace} What advice would you give to somebody who feels vulnerable to worldliness in the workplace? Not only do I spend most of my time there, but all of my coworkers knew me pre-salvation. It’s a struggle.3. 33:06 {Should Children be Taught about Hell?} What should children who would go to Heaven if they die be taught about Hell, if anything? It may make them afraid that they would go there. 4. 36:06 {The Unsaved: Prayer Priorities?} Is it appropriate to pray for the physical healing of an unsaved person? Isn’t it more reasonable to pray that they would come to faith in Christ? What is the "prayer priority" in this situation?5. 38:51 {Specific Moment of Salvation?} Do you have to have a specific date of salvation, or can salvation be a gradual thing/realization? This has been a debate within our current Bible study.6. 43:17 {God’s Omnipresence} Within God’s omnipresence, is that confined to spatial and spiritual dimensions? Or does that include Him being present across all of time, as well? As in He’s currently in all times all at once?7. 49:06 {Disqualifications for Serving?} What disqualifies someone from non-pastoral ministry? Are the rules for pastors the same for sound techs, ushers, etc.?8. 56:02 {Brands/Products: Letting in Spirits?} Are there specific brands or products that Christians shouldn‘t use? I’ve seen videos showing things like makeup products Christians shouldn't use because they let in spirits. Should I throw these away?9. 1:01:12 {Jacob’s Wrestling: Father or Son?} Do you believe Jacob wrestled with God the Father or God the Son (Hosea 12:4 and Genesis 32)?10. 1:06:44 {Tribulation Saints: Position in Heaven?} In the pre-tribulation view of the rapture, if the raptured Church is the Bride of Christ, then what position/purpose in Heaven do the tribulation saints hold? 11. 1:10:36 (Bonus) Prayer Request from Jacob: Can you and your listeners please pray for my sister Darby's pregnancy? The other day we found out she was having twins, but at the same time she was told she's most likely going to miscarry. The babies are measuring smaller than they should, with no heartbeats detected. Please join us in asking God to miraculously breathe life into her babies again. I do this live stream most Fridays at 1 p.m. Pacific Time.

0:00.0	J.D. Vance recently came out and said something. We're going to talk about that and whether
0:06.1	it's biblical or not, at least a short answer. Believe it or not, I'll give a short answer for once.
0:12.6	My name is Mike Winger. I'm here to help you learn to think biblically about hopefully everything,
0:16.9	or at least everything we can, at least that I can. And the first question today is based on the following clip where J.D. Vance was being interviewed.
0:25.6	And he said something was a Christian principle, and it relates to Donald Trump and their agenda
0:30.6	with how they're going to run the country.
0:32.6	Now, I don't, it's not like I don't have opinions. I have plenty of opinions about Trump and about the things that are going on in the U.S.
0:41.1	And my position is a little bit more complicated than like full-throated approval or full-throat a disapproval or something.
0:48.6	However, I'm going to try to not be partisan here.
0:52.0	This is not meant to be an analysis of Donald Trump or J.D.
0:55.9	Vance or their policies. This is not an analysis of that. This is an analysis of the claim that the
1:02.6	thing he talks about here is a Christian concept. That's what I'm interested in. That's what I care about.
1:07.7	And that is what this clip is about. Let's listen in and then we'll talk about it.
1:12.8	But there's this old school, and I think it's a very Christian concept, by the way, that you
1:17.5	love your family and then you love your neighbor and then you love your community and then
1:21.8	you love your fellow citizens in your own country. And then after that, you can focus and prioritize the rest of the world a lot of
1:30.1	the far left has completely inverted that they seem to hate the citizens of their own country
1:34.5	and care more about people outside their own borders that is no way to run a society and i think
1:40.0	the profound difference that donald trump brings to the leadership of this country is the simple
1:45.7	concept, America first. It doesn't mean you hate anybody else. It means that you have leadership.
1:51.0	And President Trump has been very clear about this that puts the interests of American citizens
1:55.9	first. All right. We're going to talk about this. We're going to go into it in some detail.
