Summary

It's Mailbag Friday! You've got questions, we've got answers. Segment 1 • Derek asks: If God's promise to Israel remains an active hope today, is there a need to share the gospel with Jews? • Kyla wonders: Have Christian podcasts become a breeding ground for gossip, immaturity, and “heresy hunter” celebrities disconnected from the local church? • Nate asks: What should churches do when faithful preaching feels more like a seminary lecture than shepherding hurting people? Segment 2 • Anonymous asks: Are Christians actually called to one specific local church—or is church membership mostly personal preference? • Eddie asks: Do babies who die in the womb go to heaven—and can Christians be certain about it biblically? Segment 3 • Joe asks: How do you deeply desire marriage without turning a future spouse into an idol? Segment 4 • Anonymous asks: Can praying too much for someone you’re dating become emotionally unhealthy—or even idolatrous? • Ralph asks: Why do Christians criticize Catholicism but rarely talk about the Orthodox Church? • Anonymous asks: Why does it feel like idols keep growing back in my heart no matter how hard I fight them? ___ Thanks for listening! Wretched Radio would not be possible without the financial support of our Gospel Partners. If you would like to support Wretched Radio we would be extremely grateful.
