Questions Covered in This Episode:
- How did you or have you explained the Trinity (or other theological concepts) to your kids?
- Is it possible that the original ending to Mark’s gospel was lost? Is it consistent to hold this view as well as inerrancy of scripture?
- My small group is reading Delighting in the Trinity right now. It’s brought up some questions about angels and their place in relation to the Trinity and humanity? How does free will work for them?
- Why did John the Baptist still have his own disciples after Jesus came on the scene?
- How do you start biblical education in church when your pastor doesn’t have a vision for it?
- Could you break down the false/true disciples in Matthew 7:21-23, how could the false disciples have power to perform many miracles but were false?

- Thoughts on meshing anabaptist traditions of pacifism, non-resistance, and separation of church and state in the context of american evangelicalism?

- Do you think that there are theological issues in the church that the COVID crisis is revealing?
