(Question is read & answered fully in the podcast) // 38:35 // — Why does Eastview allow women to preach? // 39:03 // — People know I am a devout Christian, so I get a lot of questions, which is great! But, as someone who really struggles emotionally when debating or arguing I can really struggle to completely answer. I get really sad when someone doesn't believe in God and really anxious and overwhelmed when challenged by others. Yesterday, I was trying to help someone and then two of his other atheist friends all came and I was just really struggling. How do I help this? // 41:36 // — When we pray, are we praying to a specific part of the trinity? Or just God in general. The same question goes for worship too. // 43:05 // — I know in the Old Testament they used to have to sacrifice when they sinned. Since Jesus has fulfilled the Old Testament, we still must repent of our sin, but do I need to do that for every single sin I make. What if I forget or do recognize I even sinned. I know Jesus knows our heart and intentions though. // 44:20 // — How do I know if I’ve truly repented and therefore am saved? And how do I know if I’m too focused on going to Heaven vs. being with Jesus now?
