Rebecca McLaughlin wraps us the season by answering questions asked by listeners!

Questions Covered in This Episode:

• What does the Bible say about what it is to be a woman? Can we define it across all cultures and time?
• I have a daughter who has drifted from the faith as she embraced LGBT and has now been with a girl for 3 years and they are talking about marriage. I want to make a last stand of sorts for her life but don’t know how to do it.
  • What would the advice be if this woman still identifies as a Christian?
• How should we navigate a church that values marriage, romance, and the biological family above all things? They won't admit it explicitly but from what they do and say it is implied.
• What would be the right response to someone who told me that she was okay with just having God and her husband?
• What advice would you give on choosing a local church? What if you disagree with second-tier issues?
• What are some of the lead causes for the divergence of young men and women toward increasingly conservative and liberal views respectively? How should the church address this?
• How would you respond to someone who used to hold a Christian sexual ethic but are now affirming?
• How is it reasonable that we are held responsible for sinning when we inherit a sinful nature from birth?
• What 3 pieces of wisdom and encouragement would you give to young Christian evangelists?
