About this Episode
It’s Mailbag Friday! You’ve got questions, we’ve got answers!
Segment 1
• My son cut off all contact with our family over a year ago—what do I do when he won’t speak to us?
Segment 2
• Do prayers have to be spoken aloud—or does writing them count?
• Horoscopes are vague—so how is the DSM-5 any more legitimate?
• Is “once saved, always saved” biblical—or can you actually lose salvation?
• Do all elders have to teach or preach—especially if they’re unpaid?
Segment 3
• Can a confessional Lutheran and a Reformed Baptist actually be friends?
• Is it wrong to keep your eyes open during prayer? Asking for a friend.
Segment 4
• Can I confront my dad’s harsh treatment of my mom—or is that dishonoring him?
• My “Christian” family excuses open sin—should I still attend gatherings?
