#171 – Hark The Herald Q&A

Jen Wilkin, JT English, and Kyle Worley answer listeners' questions!

Questions Covered in This Episode:

• Is it necessary to categorize God’s attributes as communicable v.s. Incommunicable? It seems like the incommunicable attributes are just communicable attributes cranked up?
• Has Kyle gotten any better at brushing his teeth?
• How would you interpret John 14:28 in light of the Trinity?
• How essential is formal ministry training versus experience/time for lay leaders?
• What was a highlight of 2022 for each of you? Would love an update from each of you personally and professionally too: Any new projects or adventures in 2023?
• What is the number one concern on your heart for the church as we head into a new year?
• What is a song (or a lyric from a song) in the advent season that resonates in a meaningful or impactful way in your life and heart, as you reflect on the birth of Christ?
• Can you know God without knowing the attributes of God? Should a believer be able to name His attributes?
• Is there now a difference between the people of Israel and the elect? Or are the elect now considered God’s chosen people?
• Any chance you will spend more time on Calvinism in the future? The topic scares a lot of people, including myself, but I’m wondering if I should continue to go to a church that believes this, even if I don’t?
• Is it heretical or heterodox when one does not believe in the Trinity but in modalism (think Oneness Pentecostals)?
• Why are you guys so awesome?
• Years ago I had a friend in the psychiatric profession and He said some individuals are pure evil–this leads to my question: Is possession by demons, evil spirits, still occurring?

Helpful Definitions:

• Nestorianism: Overemphasizes the two natures of the Son and essentially separates them.
