Ask Away

Are religions fundamentally the same?

Today it is considered antiquated—even arrogant—to believe that any one religion or worldview has a monopoly on “The Truth.” Does it really matter what story we chose to believe and live, if all roads ultimately lead to the same destination? This is a perspective that jars with Jesus’ claim that “nobody comes to the father except through him.” So is there anything distinctive about Jesus, or is Christianity just one more pathway heading up the same mountain? We’ll be reflecting on these questions and their implications in this week’s episode of Ask Away.

Why do I still believe in Santa?

Merry Christmas, everyone! On this week's special Christmas episode of Ask Away, Vince engages with the following questions: Does Santa exist? Can I really believe in a virgin birth? Do Christmas and Christianity worship the same God? What do you want for Christmas this year? We hope this message is a blessing for you personally, and one you can share with seeking friends and family in your life.

What about people, like my grandparents, who never heard the gospel?

While there are a lot of questions about Christianity that stretch our thinking, this is a question that many of us deeply feel. At heart, it is a question about God’s fairness. Does God actually desire every person to come to know him, or does he prefer some people over others? And if he truly loves everyone, then what is he doing to make himself known to them? In the end, perhaps it all boils down to this: Does God really love our loved ones as much, or more, than we do?

'Tis the Season To Be in Conflict: Could God reconcile a relationship in your life?

Many of us will be seeing someone over the holidays with whom there is tension, or maybe even full blown conflict. What is God’s heart for that relationship in your life, and practically what does He want you to do? Is the ball in your court or in theirs? What wisdom can the Bible offer us about resolving conflict, and could it be that God desires to reconcile a relationship in your life this Christmas?

Is faith necessary for science?

Does evolution undermine belief in God? How about aliens? And what about miracles and the multiverse? In this week’s episode of Ask Away, Jo interviews Vince on whether science points us towards or away from God, and how as Christians we can engage with those who see science as having defeated God.

A case study of Jo(nah): Why do we say “No!” when Jesus says “Go”?

“What about those who’ve never heard the gospel?” is an objection made against God’s fairness, but what if we re-directed the question back at Christians? After all, it’s clear that Jesus intended for his followers to be a solution to that problem by commanding them to “go into all the world and make disciples…” So what’s keeping us from obeying his final words? In this episode of Ask Away, Jo looks at a case study of the prophet Jonah (aka the world’s most reluctant missionary) as she considers what is taking place in our own hearts when we respond “no” to Jesus’ call to “go.”

How can I forgive myself?

In our culture today we talk a lot about the importance of “self-forgiveness”, but what does that actually mean? Is it even coherent to “give” something to yourself? Most importantly, how is this relevant to the Christian life when “only God can forgive sins" (Mark 2:7)? If forgiveness is a topic that you struggle with (and honestly, who doesn't?!) then we hope that this week's episode of Ask Away will be an encouragement to you.

Jersey Shore Outreach: Does God want committed Christians?

We are committed to all sorts of things in life, whether that be our hometown sports team, a political party, a fitness routine, or our religious faith. There can be many reasons to be committed to Christian practices that have little to do with Jesus Christ (e.g. tradition, culture, community, values, etc.). But is God inviting us into more? This episode of Ask Away features a talk that Vince gave at the Jersey Shore this summer as he asks the question: Could it be that we fail to experience real empowering in the Christian life because we’ve diminished what Jesus means when he asks us to follow him?

Are Christians Evidence Against God?

The Bible describes becoming a Christian as so transformative that a new believer is likened to a “new creation”. This week Jordach asks, if that is true then how do we make sense of the fact that we often find unbelievers with a healthier balance of self-regulation, EQ, interpersonal interactions and an overall better lifestyle? Shouldn’t we expect that living with the Spirit of God inside would dramatically improve a person’s behavior? And if that’s not what we’re seeing, then is that evidence against the plausibility of the Christian faith? We'll be wrestling with this topic on today's episode of Ask Away.

Child sacrifice, war brides, and bear attacks: what are we to make of the Old Testament?

Stories that shock us. Laws that unsettle us. Behavior that baffles us. Richard Dawkins once referred to the God of the Old Testament as “arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction.” Is Dawkins’ right in his verdict? And if not, how can we read the Old Testament in a way that helps us to make sense not only of the more troubling texts, but of the character of God? In this special episode of Ask Away, we’re featuring a conversation on this topic between Jo and our longtime friend, Dan Paterson, which was originally hosted on his Questioning Christianity podcast.
