In episode #312 , Pastors Doug, Kyle, and Blake discuss the following: 1. I have a question about the word "Word" and "word" in the Bible.

I would assume that the New Testament writers are not talking about their own accounts/letters. Like I don't see Paul talking about the word an...

AER: I’m curious about Doug’s comments regarding the nepotism conversation on the board. If a couple serves as “one voice” on the board wouldn’t that be the same for a couple working in the church? And I’m wondering if the answer is no, does that mean Doug and Loralie have never spoken even of ideas for the church at home? I guess I just don’t understand the way it’s laid out with the board/ staff...

1. Mark 3:29 says, “but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; they are guilty of an eternal sin.” Please help me understand this statement from Jesus. What does it look like to blaspheme the Holy Spirit? 2. Treat this question as fun or serious as you want: Could we be living in a simulation? Could God be the original programmer of that simulation? Jesus is his avatar...
