  • Great Conversational Podcast

    I go to Crosspoint Baptist Church so I guess I’m a bit biased, but I love this podcast. It is great to hear our Pastor in a more informal conversation. It flows well, it’s entertaining, and most importantly I learn more about God’s Word. Keep up the good work!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

171: Tell The Truth!
Q: Is it ever permissible to lie to protect life, as in the Rahab/Jericho scenario?
The hosts acknowledge situations where deception might be used in service of preserving life, but they argue that lying itself is not sanctioned and that deceit and deceitful actions are dangerous to Christian ethics; they emphasize understanding Scripture and context to discern when deception might be considered under just war or protective principles without endorsing lying as a general rule.
168: Can Christians take antidepressants?
Q: Can Christians take prescriptions for anxiety?
Yes, although it's advised that prescriptions should not be seen as a long-term solution and should be used cautiously, especially considering the balance of physical and spiritual health.
167: Prepping for the big game with Pastor Sam
Q: Why does God harden Pharaoh's heart during the wonders Moses will perform?
God hardens Pharaoh's heart to display His power and for His name to be known, proving that He is ultimately in control and for His glory.
167: Prepping for the big game with Pastor Sam
Q: Did Jesus become a sinner when he went to the cross?
No, Jesus never committed sin and lived a perfect life, thus he could be the perfect sacrifice for our sins.
166: So God Cures Anxiety?
Q: Are you saying that anxious people can totally get rid of their anxiety?
Yes, it's possible to eliminate anxiety through scriptural guidance and change of thinking.
