Episode for October 14, 2020
How do I know I'm saved? Does God hear my prayers? Does the Bible say no one is good? Do I need to believe I will be healed before I can be? Should I avoid church if I made a mistake?
*Note on Question 5, should I avoid church if I made a mistake: Depending on what the moral failing referred to is, it's important to note that while God never rejects you and it is always a blessing to seek fellowship and accountability with other believers, if there is a victim involved in your immediate congregation (eg in cases of sexual assault), for the victim's sake you may want to find a different church congregation to be part of in order to avoid re-traumatizing the victim.
