Summary

It’s Mailbag Friday! You’ve got questions, we’ve got answers!

Segment 1

• If a Bible show is inaccurate but gets people reading Scripture, is it still worth it?

• Why would God give me a deep desire for marriage but withhold the gift?

Segment 2

• Who sings the Beep Talk theme song? (Because we all want to know.)

• Can Christians use CBD for anxiety—or is that crossing a line?

• Is the tithe a biblical command or just an Old Testament principle?

Segment 3

• Does a pastor need to wear a suit—or does it even matter?

• Can someone be saved through a distorted gospel message?

• Is it biblical to say Jesus “took our shame”—or is that overreach?

Segment 4

• Are bagpipes pagan because they were used to worship Nebuchadnezzar?

• What should we think about Idaho using the death penalty by firing squad?

• Why do churches do awkward “greeting times” during service?

• Is it okay for a pastor’s wife to teach a marriage class with her husband—even if she’s not called “pastor”?
