What’s really on your mind when it comes to faith? We all have questions—about life, the Bible, and spiritual things—that we’re not always sure we can ask. That’s why we’re launching the Asking for a Friend Podcast—a space to ask the real, raw, and sometimes surprising questions about God and get honest, biblical answers. In this very first episode, we’re tackling questions like: Can I get baptized even if I’m still wrestling with addiction? Does the Bible say anything about life on other planets? What should I do if I feel like I’ve talked to a loved one who passed away? Why do we tell people to close their eyes when praying to receive Christ—when it should be a moment to celebrate? Nothing is off the table. Nothing is too weird. If you’re asking, we want to talk about it. 👉 Got a question you’ve been holding onto? Text QUESTION to 909.281.7797 and it just might show up in a future episode. Subscribe now, and let’s explore life’s biggest (and toughest) questions—together.
