It’s Mailbag Friday! Should we ban coffee from the sanctuary? Wretched Radio | Air Date: June 14, 2024 https://media-wretched.org/Radio/Podcast/WR2024-0614.mp3 It’s Mailbag Friday! You have questions. We have answers. If you have any questions, comments, conundrums, snarks, or ideas send them to idea@wretched.org.

Can they do this? Can they legally put a gag order on me? -Jim My two sisters are converting to the episcopal church, help! How should I approach the subject with them? -Anonymous Segment 4 How long should we continue praying for salvation for the most stubbornly hardhearted false preachers who are simply showing no sign of repentance, despite being prayed about for decades?
