  • One of my most fave podcasts!

    I love everything about this show! Love the exchange between Todd and Jimmy when they discuss matters. Love the little Biblical trivia tidbit. Love the humour! (Christians can be funny too!) 😂 and so God-honouring and glorifying!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Mailbag Friday: Staying with a Gay Couple? + Praying to Mary + Cremation
Q: Does the Lord placing it on your heart to do something mean you should definitely do it?
It can be a real feeling, but you should not rely on that alone; you need scriptural guidance and discernment and should avoid treating feelings as a guaranteed directive.
Before You Say “I Do” | Todd Interviews Lou Priolo
Q: From your experience, how many couples really need pre-marital counseling before moving forward?
Most couples benefit from a structured check of key issues and biblical expectations, and at least some form of guided conversation helps prevent common pitfalls by making hidden concerns explicit before commitment.
Todd Interviews Adam Tyson: Kanye West, Gen Z & Christian Liberty
Q: What is the role of biblical sufficiency when addressing mental-health issues?
Scripture provides guidance for suffering and trials, but Tyson acknowledges medical concerns; when physical problems are excluded, the Bible offers real hope and transformation through faith and practice.
Todd Interviews Adam Tyson: Kanye West, Gen Z & Christian Liberty
Q: How should churches handle doctrinal disputes about worship practices like instrumentation?
Both sides should prioritize love and unity, defer to weaker brothers when needed, and recognize that scripture does not mandate a single instrument; successful ministry depends on shepherding rather than winning a doctrinal argument.
Do Mormons Believe in the Same Jesus?
Q: What must a person do to receive forgiveness and salvation?
The missionaries explain that faith in Jesus, repentance, baptism, and the gift of the Holy Ghost are essential, with ongoing righteousness and works as manifestations of faith, though not framed as a simple one-time act.
