Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

S3:EP48 | From Youth Pastor to Overseer of Training Center | Todd Burgett
Q: For Christians and for unbelievers, why do we all need Jesus Christ?
We need Jesus because He offers hope and a means of true salvation. Without Him, life's challenges become unbearable, but with Him, there is a purpose, joy, and community.
S3:EP48 | From Youth Pastor to Overseer of Training Center | Todd Burgett
Q: Can you just describe what was like Todd Burgett before Christ and then after Christ?
Before Christ, I was a passive believer, checking boxes but lacking true commitment. After truly encountering Christ, my life transformed with a desire for holiness and a passionate pursuit of my faith.
S3:EP50 | Redeemed from a Life of Crime | Chuck Holmes
Q: Whether it is a believer or a non-believer, why is it that all of us need Jesus Christ?
Ultimately, nothing else matters. Christ decides your eternal destiny, and your eternal destiny, there's nothing more important than that.
S3:EP50 | Redeemed from a Life of Crime | Chuck Holmes
Q: But, I mean, it has been, there have been many tears here, and just hearing to everything that the Lord has done to see how someone who was once the criminal, now God has redeemed as criminal, and he is the one reaching out to the ones that are in the other side, right, where you used to be.
Well, we know that the Gospel is the only answer. So, you know, you can have a 30-year chip from AA, and when you appear before the Lord, he doesn't really give a flip about your chip.
S3:EP40 | From Metal to Ministry: Jason Stinson's Journey from Hardcore Stages to Worship Pastor
Q: Why is it that we all need Jesus Christ?
We all need Jesus Christ because without Him, we have no hope and it's in Christ where we find peace and fulfillment.
