Since being saved I have found Christian Rap that I enjoy. Is this sensual or am I being legalistic? -Zachary Segment 2 Is there a difference between how men and women should go about sharing the Gospel, and with whom? What practical advice can you give to women who want to engage in evangelism in their community? -Anonymous I have a married friend who says that she doesn’t want to have her own biological children because pregnancy sounds bad. She says she would rather adopt children instead. I don’t know how to encourage her or what to pray for her concerning this. Is she wrong to not want her own biological children? -Adrian There is a deacon in my church who always makes sarcastic comments. It seems like about everything. While I understand sarcasm, I also don’t believe Sunday morning worship to be the time or place for it. Any suggestions on how I can approach him about this? -Willam Segment 3 My dad recently said that he thought pastors should talk about the news and politics from the pulpit. Is that biblical? -Kaleb Segment 4 A ministry that I have supported for years has announced that it will invest in AI that is supposed to teach others the Gospel. Their goal, they say, is to “amaze” people with this, and they claim the church will be left behind unless we invest in AI like everyone else is doing. I feel opposed to this because I believe the Bible is clear about humans discipling other humans. I also worry that this ministry is exhibiting worldly thinking. -Justin I was just wondering if you had any advice on dealing with grief over apostate friends? -Joe There are many programs and educational institutions that charge money to understand the Bible (seminaries, colleges, etc) Is there anywhere in the Bible that prohibits financial transactions or the charging of money to others who want to better understand the Bible? Should not the understanding and study of the word be given freely? -Anonymous Our adult daughter has self identified as transgender and self diagnosed with multiple personalities. Our question is how do we Biblically navigate this? We cannot agree with her lifestyle and for the safety of our younger children feel we must keep her at arms length. Any advice? -Anonymous ___ Download Now (right click and save) Subscribe to Wretched Radio to receive every new episode directly to your device by selecting your device type or by copying the RSS feed link and pasting it into your podcast application.

I understand that to be a missionary, I need to be an elder-qualified man. However, throughout my entire life, even after I was saved, I’ve struggled with lust and pornography. I’ve grown in self-control and faith, but still battle with it. Does this make me unqualified for eldership/missions? If not, how can I know I am qualified? -Ashton Segment 2 I work a retail job, where the company supports the LGBTQ, but the company has not required us to participate or support in any way. But I also struggle with whether working there I might be sinning. -John Segment 3 A lady I work with was upset over her sick dog. Someone wrote “Jesus loves you” on a post-it note and put it on her desk. She went to human resources complaining. I being the resident Christian got blamed, called into the office and told that I may not discuss religion or politics at work. The guy that actually wrote the note was given a day off without pay. Can they do this? Can they legally put a gag order on me? -Jim My two sisters are converting to the episcopal church, help! How should I approach the subject with them? -Anonymous Segment 4 How long should we continue praying for salvation for the most stubbornly hardhearted false preachers who are simply showing no sign of repentance, despite being prayed about for decades? How long before we start praying instead for their destruction? -Russell At what point in a marriage does the husband’s loving self-sacrifice become excessive capitulation, or enabling a ‘me first’ mentality? -Anonymous ___ Download Now (right click and save) Subscribe to Wretched Radio to receive every new episode directly to your device by selecting your device type or by copying the RSS feed link and pasting it into your podcast application.
