If you’ve got questions about scripture, we’ve got answers. Well, Jeremy does.

Dr. Jeremy Grinnell earned his Ph.D. in Systematic Theology from Calvin Seminary in Grand Rapids, MI, and taught theology at a local seminary for nearly 15 years. He takes on your Bible questions in this episode.

Here’s what you asked:

• As Christians we are supposed to love one another, be kind and gentle. However, there are evil people in this world, narcissists that just want to devour you. When do you protect your heart? When do you stand up for yourself and not just get rolled over and taken advantage of once again?
• If God tells us to not commit murder how does that work with war? And does that mean people in the Army are sinning?
• Since God is "all knowing " why is there going to be a judgement day?
• Help me explain how Old Testament Believers are saved versus being saved through belief and faith in JESUS.....
• In Revelation 22:2 the leaves were used for medicine to heal the nations. If they are already in heaven, isn't healing already there? What do the leaves have to do with it?

Pride can ruin a good thing. Perry admits it was ruining his relationship with Shawna.

So often when we feel offended, we get defensive and power up. But in scripture we’re told, “If you’ve got it in you, get along with everybody”. Do we have it in us to get along with everybody?

It was an April evening of Perry’s sophomore year at Olivet. He was driving back to campus from his girlfriend’s house when he saw a farmer driving his tractor in his field and it made him think, “My life needs to change.”

Within days of being diagnosed with a brain tumor Shawna’s friend courageously shared she was choosing to praise God whether she was healed or not. Like Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, we are not alone in the fire. It’s Jesus WITH US who gives us the courage to say, “Even if…I will praise God.”

Lastly, financial advisor, Rob West, of Faith and Finance Live, imparts wisdom regarding lending money to friends, budgeting that will last beyond most New Year’s resolutions, and whether or not now is a good time to buy a house.

Growing up with an alcoholic father, Melissa struggled from a young age with feelings of fear and abandonment and yearned for acceptance. During her teen years, however, she found a temporary escape through alcohol, and the consequences quickly consumed fifteen years of her life – blackouts, withdrawals, run-ins with the law, reckless behavior, and overwhelming guilt.

Melissa Huray, Emmy-award winning news reporter turned addiction counselor, and author of the 365 day devotional Radical Freedom: Breaking the chains of Addiction for Good opens up about how she found radical freedom through surrender.

With the wisdom and training of a counselor and the heart of understanding of one who suffered from addiction, Melissa talks openly with Perry and Shawna about shame, the need for community in your recovery, and how God can take even our worst mistakes and use them for good.

Also in this podcast, when Perry’s daughter Kali Joy was 16 she prayed, “Lord I want to know what it looks like to live like I have nothing to lose.” The Lord answered that prayed in a really painful yet powerful way that not only affected Kali but also the rest of the family. It pushed this truth more deeply into their hearts, “To live is Christ, to die is gain.”
