Segment 1 Todd, our church leadership is great about promoting discipleship among us, both to get discipled and to be discipled. I’m wondering what you think discipleship should look like. -Kurt What do you say to someone who is ok with singing Bethel, Hillsong, Elevation, etc. if the lyrics say truthful things because you can separate the false teacher from false teaching? -Anonymous I was wondering what are some biblical ways that I can evaluate whether or not my current relationship with my girlfriend is ready to advance to marriage. -Logan Segment 2 Reconcile and cultivate parental/child relationships. Segment 3 I need to know when to reconcile with a fellow believer in Christ. Does it depend on the damage to our relationship? – Isaac I’m currently in a branch of the military and I’m thinking about my career. In the future I could possibly have a chance at being my branch’s version of a drill instructor or that person whose really mean and yells at people. What would Jesus’s opinion be about a Job that requires you to insult, frighten, shock, and generally be mean to people trying to join the military. -Nate Now that I am saved, what should I do? What is my purpose? How should I live, how do I walk in the spirit, what does it mean to live by faith in Jesus? -Liam Segment 4 Why don’t humans interact anymore? Is repentance basically turning to following the Law? How do you deal with a parent that won’t talk to you at all anymore? ___ 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.

It’s easy for us to get annoyed these days. But how should we respond to a world that’s growing more evil? Wretched Radio | Air Date: May 28, 2024 https://media-wretched.org/Radio/Podcast/WR2024-0528.mp3 Segment 1 Are you just getting angry?

We have answers. If you have any questions, comments, conundrums, snarks, or ideas send them to idea@wretched.org. Segment 1 The children’s ministry at our church is heavy in entertainment. The bass from the music can be felt down the hall. One song they sing repeats the lyric, “Jesus is my superhero.” Is this worth finding another church over? -Faith  I am reading through the Bible from Genesis to Revelation, however, there are so many times where I’ll read and I’ll ask myself, “what did you just learn?”, then I draw blanks. Why does this happen and how do I combat this problem? -Anonymous Segment 2 AI Sermons? Segment 3 What does Biblical marriage look like when your husband is not a believer?
