Episode notes
Faith Is A Decision Not A Feeling
- Faith is a volitional decision, not an emotional experience.
- Frank Turek explains mind, emotion, and will: you can intellectually accept Jesus and willfully commit to him without strong feelings and still be saved.
David Wood Example And The Marriage Vow Analogy
- Frank shares David Wood as an example of someone with low emotional affect who still believes and serves.
- He uses marriage vows as an illustration that will and commitment matter more than fluctuating feelings.
Pray Psalms And Contemplate The Heavens
