Ask Away

"Jesus died for you": But what does that really mean?

At the heart of the Nicene Creed (325 AD) we find the words: “For our sake [Jesus] was crucified under Pontius Pilate, he suffered, died, and was buried.” But how is it possible that someone who died 2,000 years ago could have died for our sake?! And if Jesus is God, how could He have died? And why would He have died—was this something He chose, or something He was coerced to do? In this episode of Ask Away, Jo Vitale engages with contemporary challenges to the cross, and asks what difference, if any, the death of Jesus makes to us today?

Is the Trinity a math problem?

"1+1+1 = 1 is not going to get you a pass in mathematics." This comment, made by a Muslim apologist and spoken word artist, is an intriguing critique! When Christians claim that there is one God in three persons, are they making a contradictory statement? When it comes to the nature of God, how much can we really know about him, anyway? And what difference—if any—does it make to us if God is in fact Trinitarian? In this week's episode of Ask Away, Jo invites you to consider a deeply personal question that has tremendous implications for each of our lives: "Who are you, God?!"

The Success Paradox: Can becoming a winner lead to losing at life?

Could it be, paradoxically, that the very things that lead to success in youth can set us up for struggles and hurt later in life? If so, what can we do about this in our own lives and the lives of our children? And how are the notions of success, winning, and competition reconceived and redeemed within the Christian faith?

Holy Communion: Are Christians cannibals?

From the early days of the Christian faith, Christians were mocked for their unusual practice of connecting the eating of bread and wine with the body and blood of Jesus. At times they were even accused of cannibalism! And yet, two thousand years later nearly every Christian church continues this remarkable practice in some form. Why did Jesus institute this sacrament and what should it mean to us today?

How can I make a clear, concise, compelling case for the resurrection of Jesus?

The Bible makes a very strong claim that God has provided “confirmation for all by raising Jesus from the dead” (Acts 17:31), and the case for the resurrection was right at the center of Vince’s journey to Christ. On this episode, Jo interviews him about the core reasons for the resurrection that can be shared simply and straightforwardly with anyone who is seeking truth this Easter.

Why worship a (Holy) ghost?

If you could choose to live at any time in history, when would you live? I am tempted to answer, “When Jesus walked the earth.” How awesome it would be to be present for the Sermon on the Mount, to talk with Jesus, to laugh with him, to recline against his chest in friendship as John did. But here’s the thing: None of the apostles would have given that answer. Not in a million years! Can you think of why not? This episode about the Holy Spirit encourages all of us not to live a pre-Pentecost faith but to live in the transformative power of a Spirit-filled life.

Is life valuable before birth?

We live in a world that is deeply conflicted over when human life begins. Even our language surrounding the unborn is contested—are we talking about a “baby” or a “product of conception”? Are we talking about a potential life or an actual human person? How many bodies and whose rights are relevant to “my body, my rights”? And is it anti-woman to be pro-life, or could it be that to love the unborn is to recognize the absolute value of the most vulnerable female humans of all? This week on Ask Away, Vince and Jo give a presentation and respond to live questions on a subject that has significant implications for us all: “Is life valuable before birth?"

How can we hear the voice of God?

In the previous episode “Is God giving us the silent treatment?”, Jo and Vince shared that God is desiring to speak with us consistently and clearly. That is really exciting news, but only if we are able to hear what He is saying. So how can we learn to hear the voice of God?

If God, why suffering?

Whatever the differences between us as human beings, one thing that we all have in common is our familiarity with pain. Whether you’ve experienced a season of intense suffering in the past, you’re living through it in the present, or it is yet to come, none of us get through life unscathed. No wonder, then, that at some point or another we have all found ourselves with this question on our lips or resounding in our hearts: “Why?! God, if you’re real, how could you let this happen? And what are you going to do about it?” This week on the Ask Away podcast, Vince engages with a deeply personal age-old question that never gets old: “If God, why suffering?”

Is God giving us the silent treatment?

Good communication is essential for any healthy relationship. What, then, does it say about our relationship with God that so often we experience prayer as completely one-sided, as if we're just yelling into the void? Is God truly a loving father, or more like a disinterested parent who won’t take the time to listen to and clearly engage with His children? And are we doomed to disappoint in this area, or could it be that we've actually settled for far less when God is offering us infinitely more? This week on Ask Away, Vince and Jo discuss the question, “Is God giving us the silent treatment?”
