Summary

It’s Mailbag Friday! You’ve got questions, we’ve got answers. Segment 1 • An elder at my church wants to start a group that prays for the Sunday service during the Sunday service. We are a small church that only holds one service, so this prayer group would miss the preaching of God's Word. What are your thoughts? - Anonymous • My teenage daughter wants to know if we can actually rebuke stuff in the name of Jesus. Is this just a trendy thing to be doing amongst young Christians right now? - Ash • Other than the fruit of the Spirit, are there any other signs that a person is filled with the Holy Spirit? - Anonymous • Is there a historical or biblical precedent for women serving as deacons? - Ean Segment 2 • I heard you critique a new book recently about somebody taking a trip to heaven. What motivates a person to say these things? Could they actually believe they're being truthful? - Anonymous • Would you happen to know any good biblical resources that could point me to how I can help my sons prepare for a career path in their lives? I want my sons to succeed and to help them as the Lord leads, but I'm not sure how to do this. - Ricky • I have a teenage daughter who fell into the woke world. Things have gotten better after two years, but I would like a few biblical pointers to help me not only endure this trial but also continue to encourage my daughter in a positive, biblical way. - Anonymous Segment 3 • How do you respond to all the brothers and sisters who are moon landing deniers? My biggest issue with them is that they are denying the testimony of brothers in Christ who walked on the moon (Charlie Duke & Jim Irwin), not to mention the countless others who have worked on the space program. I know it is not a primary issue, but to call brothers and sisters in Christ liars is a big deal. - Michael Segment 4 • If there is no temptation to sin in Heaven, how did Satan get the idea for an uprising? - Joe • I am 21 years old and have been married for just over a year now, and my parents have been very adamant about us visiting their church sometimes. They attend a church of Christ, and we do not. We also love worshipping at our own church. What should we do? - Anonymous • What are some good parenting resources that combat gentle parenting and encourage healthy, biblical parenting? - Anna ___ Thanks for listening!
