Welcome to this episode of Real Christianity. My name is Dale Partridge.

Each week I offer 15-20 minute answers to tough theological and pastoral questions.

This is a 100% listener-supported audio ministry of relearn.org.

And for those who don't know, our mission at relearn.org is to educate and equip ordinary Christians

to plant biblical, confessional, and mission house churches.

But before we dive in, this discussion, I'd like to just make one quick announcement and

you guys probably know what it's going to be.

As I told you guys, last week our goal for this month of December is to raise $20,000.

But we still do need a few more donors to join us and support.

Guys, we had some people that gave $500.
