Part 1 - 0:00 - 38:05

Part 2 - 38:05 - 59:57

Questions (In order)

  1. (0:00) Why are you amillennial? 

  2. (6:30) How do you go about asking good questions when a Christian says something unscriptural? 

  3. (11:56) During the first day, you said that you're on the flight deck with Christ as your pilot, and he lands on the (brick?) where you're given all this variance, so you switch spots with Christ on the flight deck. Was that your example of sanctification? 

  4. (14:15) How do you keep from feeling you are working on the performance treadmill as you're working to move from (brick?) 435 to (brick?) 12?

  5. (16:20) It just seems like I'm working trying to get closer from my imperfect brain to the perfect spot... 

  6. (17:15) Is sanctification monogistic or synergistic?

  7. (20:19) Popular personalities like Matt Walsh, Ben Shaprio, and Jordan Peterson seem to have a lot of wisdom and draw us back to a more moral lifestyle. How should we respond to their popularity considering your caution about integration?
     
  8. (27:13) Lets say there's somebody who grew up in a very legalistic household, with an insane amount of rules around everything. They have repented of holding up that false household system and trying to live under it. But they can't seem to break free of the immense guilt every time they do what mom told them they should never do. How would you walk them into freedom? 

  9. (32:27) What should be the prayer of the believer who isn't suffering or doesn't feel like their suffering is comparable to other believers? Is it biblical to pray FOR suffering?

  10. (34:46) If suffering is so good for our soul, is that the only purpose for the time we're not suffering is to prepare FOR suffering?

  11. (35:37) If it's scriptural to suffer, and the main thing that transforms us and makes us like Christ is suffering, are we missing something about when we're not suffering? Does the transformation happen when we're NOT suffering?

  12. (38:05) When you're asking question to someone who you believe is biblically wrong about something, how do you avoid coming across as arrogant? Not that we can control how they respond of course... But how do you just avoid being arrogant?

  13. (42:33) I think there's a lot of guilty parents anyway. That just seems natural.

  14. (45:31) When you're talking about the three types of way of suffering, what was that third way of suffering?

  15. (47:03) When we're not suffering, are we doing something wrong?

  16. (49:41) We have to, at some point, define WHAT suffering is because we tend to face the same circumstance: one person can say they aren't suffering, but another can say this is the worst suffering I've ever had in my entire life. How do you actually define: what is suffering?

  17. (53:12) What's the relationship between suffering and discipline?
  18. (53:50) Does discipline only mean "correction", or can it also mean "training"?

  19. (55:16) Lamentations 3 has come up many times in my life. Is the rod in that chapter talking about "discipline" or "training"? 

  20. (58:17) Final thoughts from Jim Fain + Goodbyes and Thank Yous
