I listened to both podcast episodes on predestination and thought it was really helpful and loved how much the Bible directed the conversation. The question I walked away with is: If we believe in limited atonement, how exactly do we witness? What do we tell people? Christ tells us to preach the Gospel to everyone in Mark 16:15-16, but if Jesus only died for some, do we say, "Jesus loves you so much he died for you" although he may not have died for them if they are not chosen? What is the best way to share the Good News of the Gospel when we do not know who is chosen? (3:40)

When Adam and Eve were in the garden is there any information as to how long before they ate the apple? (10:35)

Q & A

I'm really struggling with 1 Cor 11. Can you please explain what Paul means regarding head coverings for men and women? Is our hair the head covering he speaks to? I always assumed it was just a "cultural thing" that doesn't apply to us today, but then are we just cherry-picking what we want to call relevant to today's culture and what's not? How can we explain these sections of scripture to an unbelieving world that doesn't sound like we are selectively choosing what we want to believe/dismiss? If I'm honest, I love chapter 13 but want to pass over the complexities of chapters 11, 12, and 14. Also, I need Shawn to speak to verse 14. (11:05)

I've recently started dating. As an adult with limited dating experience, I want to know if you have any resources for dating in a Biblical fashion. He goes to a different church and we're semi-long-distance so there are lots of things to juggle. So if you happen to have any resources, that would be a huge help! (18:35)

Do you ever doubt? What do you do if you do doubt to get back on track? (25:25)

Is marriage recognized as a condition of the heart or by a marriage license issued by the state? (28:25)

I have been reading in Hebrews 11 recently, and love personal questions. So, can each of you share about someone in your life that speaks to you by their example of faith? Please share, whether past or present, but specifically someone you have known, and identify how their faith has encouraged you. (32:40)

I've heard Titus 1:15 be used and misused in a variety of different contexts and would just appreciate hearing your commentary on it. (42:10)
