Segment 1

My church will be hosting a preacher I’m not a big fan of for a “revival” soon. I’m on the worship team, but I don’t want to be there!  I was considering going on “vacation” that week to avoid this event. Am I in sin here? -Chris

Should women teach deep theology to other women? I’ve heard it suggested there’s a deeper theology that should only be taught by elders. -Rana

As I graduate from my youth group, I’m worried about transitioning to the young adult ministry that meets less frequently. Will I be fed less? Is it up to me now to feed myself? What can I do to match what I’m losing? What do I replace this with? -Maddison

What are the indications of a true believer vs. a professing unbeliever, especially in cases where a person appears to believe, feel, say, and do all the right things? -Hannah

I’ve been using sinful entertainment as a distraction lately, and I am struggling to stop. I watch it and I feel nothing and it is almost as though I really am dead to it, yet it is hard to stop. I think I struggle with assurance, but I’m not sure if that’s really the root of this issue or not. -Aliyah

Segment 2

Travis has an interesting question that I think deserves some attention. He says he feels called into discernment ministry, but he’s unsure how to engage false teachings. He feels like interrupting services where these lies are being spewed. But, knows there’s obviously a more tactful way to handle it and he is wondering how you think he should go about it.

Segment 3

What are rules of engagement in the area of discernment?

Segment 4

Who, in your opinion, best embodies those principles?

Am I not a christian because I don’t have sorrow over sin? I repent of sin and I desire to rid myself of it, but I don’t feel sadness over it. -Abram

Dear Husband of Mrs. Friel – If marriage reflects God’s love for the church, what sets one’s future spouse apart from others? Essentially, what makes us choose one person over another in terms of romantic love? -Jacob
