  • Informative Podcast

    Updated review: Still a good show with very good information. The the sing-song “keep grace in focus” at the end is somewhat annoying. If they are looking for a slogan, that is a good one, however, it doesn’t need to be delivered with varying degrees of silliness. The fairly recent addition of announcements, ads, etc. in the middle of the show is a bridge too far. It is out of place and really disrupts the flow of the show. Reconsider, please.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

How Do We Ask For Wisdom With No Doubting?
Q: What is doubt in the context of James 1:5-7?
Doubt is about willingness to submit to God's wisdom rather than doubting God's existence or His ability to answer; the issue is inner indecision and resistance to following God's guidance.
What Does it Mean to Obtain Faith (1 Peter 1:1)?
Q: What does it mean to have obtained like precious faith, and is it a totally sovereign gift or does the believer have a role in obtaining it?
The hosts explain that obtaining like precious faith is not a purely automatic or passive act; believers receive truth and faith through hearing the Word, and while God enables growth, the believer also plays an active role by opening their heart and mind to God's Word, responding to it, and pursuing righteousness as part of a broader process that includes both initial faith and ongoing sanctification.
What Does it Mean to Quench the Spirit in 1 Thessalonians 5:19-20?
Q: What does it mean to not quench the Spirit in 1 Thessalonians 5:19–20, and how is that different from grieving the Spirit in Ephesians 4:30?
Not quenching the Spirit involves allowing believers with spiritual gifts, such as prophecy, to speak and be tested rather than silencing them, while grieving the Spirit involves personal conduct that displeases God, including speech and actions that remove the believer from God's standard. The distinction lies in whether the focus is on hindering others from using their gifts (quenching) versus personal behavior that offends God (grieving).
Does Assurance Teaching Undermine Assurance?
Q: Seth asks whether defining belief as certainty could undercut assurance and how to reconcile confidence with doubt.
The hosts respond that belief should be understood as being convinced of truth, not merely English-sense certainty, and that genuine assurance comes from a settled conviction based on Scripture, particularly the Gospel of John, while acknowledging that believers may doubt at times.
How Do We Harmonize “God Hates Divorce,” Malachi 2:16 With “God Permits Divorce” Matthew 5:31-32; 19:8-9?
Q: How do we harmonize Malachi 2:16 with Jesus' teaching in Matthew 5:31–32 and 19:8–9?
The discussion suggests Malachi speaks to God's general stance against divorce, while Jesus provides a measured exception (pornea) within certain circumstances, allowing divorce and remarriage when sexual immorality is involved; the two passages are not mutually exclusive but describe different theological emphases.
