This book will be a great tool for people to use, preferably before we absolutely need it, before a final decision is made possibly in the negative.

it actually DOES seem like God is saying "you want a world without me?" Good luck with war and resource management. It doesn't seem like like he's got much access to our conscience unless we ask

I hope I'm wrong, it sure seemed like your guest thinks that illegal immigration is ok. And you didn't call him on it. Doesn't the immigrant have the responsibility to come legally, not illegally?

The episode title should not even be possible. You need to know exactly 1 thing about Jesus to know Jesus is not a socialist. There is a certain story in any Bible I have ever read that involves a fish......

It sure would have been helpful if the speaker had given some concrete examples on how the church should adapt to younger people. ( Other than with music which older Christians already know about.)
