Is college still worth it? A Christian perspective on higher education
Q: How would you help families think through the different school options and decide where to send their student?

Is college still worth it? A Christian perspective on higher education
Q: How do you know if you should pursue a bachelor's degree or some other kind of education or training?

Should Christians celebrate Halloween? A biblical perspective
Q: What should a Christian do about Halloween, and are there scriptures or principles that should guide that decision?
The guests recommend considering whether participation is beneficial, avoiding dabbling in the demonic, following conscience, and looking for ways to use the occasion to point people toward Christ.

Q: What would you tell parents who are trying to make sure their kid has opportunities to play down the line, but balance that with not burning them out?
