Season: 22 Episode: 321
What do you do when someone claims to follow Jesus but embraces beliefs that contradict Scripture? Should we call them a Christian? How should we respond when people look for signs from God in butterflies, horoscopes, or “messages from the universe”? And what encouragement is there for women married to unbelieving husbands?
In this Q&A episode, I’m answering your thoughtful questions about biblical discernment, discipleship, and living faithfully in a culture where the word Christian often means very different things to different people.
We’ll also discuss Perez Hilton’s recent profession of faith and why reading the Bible will ultimately confront every person with the claims of Christ.
