Special Guest Kristi Delgado will be on the podcast today sharing her testimony of miracles and faith.

Question #1 I was wondering does the devil give you “dreams”? Or is it more like a false imagination or temptation? How do you know if a dream is from your flesh or not? And how can you combat these dreams so that you don’t wake with a “thrown off spirit”?Question #2When you are in heaven, can you check in or look down on your children and grandchildren or can you not see how their life is progressing or pray for them?Question #3John answered and said to them all, “As for me, I baptize you with water; but One is coming who is mightier than I, and I am not fit to untie the thong of His sandals; He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. Luke 3:16 NASB What does fire mean in this context? I looked up the Greek word, means “to fire” and the word and means “and” or “also”. I always thought being baptized with the Holy Spirit meant baptism with fire, but this seems to say we will be baptized with both.

October 4 Conspiracy Phone ChatQuestion #1I don’t know much about the Muslim religion, but it seems angry and violent towards people who do not believe the same way. Why does the Muslim religion hate people who aren’t Muslim so much?

Question #1Since coming to Foundation we don’t worry as much about our health and what we eat. We are healthy eaters by nature but we started eating things we stopped eating for awhile now that we pray over our meals. I found some scripture and need clarification please! Question #2I heard Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth say you don’t pray to Jesus, you pray to the father, in the name of Jesus. But what about praising and thanking Jesus?Question #3What is the difference between the breastplate of righteousness (Ephesians 6:14) and the breastplate of faith (1 Thessalonians 5:8)?Question #4 Are we supposed to tithe off of net or gross or is it a heart issue? And does render unto Ceasar what is Ceasar’s and render unto God what is God’s have anything to do with it?

Question #1My husband and I are definitely not on the same faith journey. I came to Jesus in 2008 after 20 years of marriage, but he has no interest. I want to enrich my relationship with God without alienating my husband. Any suggestions?Question #2My question is knowing when the Lord is speaking to me. I have never been able to know or guess felt confident in knowing when the Holy Spirit is truly speaking to me. I have always worked full time since I graduated high school and even as a parent since having my children. The more and more I follow and learn from Foundation Church, the more I don’t want to work anymore and be a stay-at-home mom and homeschool my kids. How do I know it’s not just me being selfish and not wanting to work versus making a better decision for our kids? Every time I feel like it’s the right thing to quit, I feel the guilt sink in that it’s just me not wanting to work.

I wantthat!Question #3We were recently told by catholic friends thatthey believe that Mary the mother of Jesus didnot die but was “assumed” and taken to heaen. Ihave never heard this.Question #4What types of Bible study do you recommendfor new Christians?

Question #1 Would you define what “works” are in James 2:14-26? Also, explain how faith and works are important together and not alone.Question #2 I am a school teacher and it has become increasingly difficult to teach because kids are so disrespectful and undisciplined. As teachers we have no options when it comes to punishing or disciplining children so teaching is like herding cats some days. I am passionate about my job but become more frustrated every year. Teachers hands are tied so it’s up to the parents and I don’t think they even see how unruly their kids are. Help!

Question #1Do you personally pledge allegiance to the US Flag? I wondered if you knew that the US Flag Code states that the flag is a living being (therefore a deity?) and if you did know, what your thoughts are Biblically and personally on it?Question #2Humans were initially created to live forever in paradise on Earth. Sin ruined that but since the intent was to live forever with no death on earth, why did God give us souls? Maybe the soul is what God was referring to when He said let’s make man in our image?Question #3Who was Cain afraid of after killing Abel when God sent him out of to the wilderness?Question #4When Jacob wrestled with God and God touched his hip to give him a limp was that given as a punishment for being so difficult?Question #5Is cryogenic freezing okay since God will raise people back to life in the end anyway? Cryogenics freezes the body so it can be brought back in the future. Is this too much like playing God or is it just a technology with no sin implications?

Question #1 I like to gamble. Christians tell me all the time that I shouldn’t do it. I don’t see anywhere in the Bible where it says it’s a sin and when I do gamble, I set a limit on how much I allow myself to play. Question #2 All my life I have battled my weight and I would say I am not the most attractive person out there. People don’t treat me the same as other people. I’m not feeling sorry for myself I just know it is true. I’ve never really been excepted or popular. I want people to like me don’t know how to make friends. What should I do?

Tracey's Trip ReviewQuestion #1 The church (Foundation Church) is about to a baptism service. I know that John the Baptist baptized Jesus so it must be important, but do I need to be baptized to go to heaven?

Question #1 As Christians we can come together as two or more people and pray for and receive anything we ask for. We pray for a wayward child's salvation?Question #2 I am interested in getting a tattoo but have heard differing opinions on this. What does the Bible say exactly about getting a tattoo and is it a sin?Question #3 What era do you wish you were born in? Question #4 Who is the best movie villain?

Question #1 There are so many pictures out there showing flying saucers or just weird objects in the sky.

Question #1If your younger self could meet you as an adult, what would they be most impressed by?Question #2When I got my driver's license, I was asked if I would like to be an organ donor and I said yes. Some people say that we shouldn’t mutilate our bodies and I should change it to no. So, is it wrong to be an organ donor?Question #3So, for those of us who were brought up Catholic, the sign of the cross is standard. Some people might consider it heresy. While it may not be in the Bible, is there a problem with it?Question #4What’s the best/worst practical joke that you’ve played on someone or that was played on you?

Revisit to Question from Episode 48: Who would be an example today of the people Jesus was talking about in Matthew 7:19-23? So they had good fruit meaning they cast out demons, prophesied, and done many wonders? That’s good fruit right? So why would He cast them to hell? If they did it using Jesus name didn’t they know who Jesus was and could you please explain more of Matthew 7:11-12?

Question #1 How old will we be in heaven? Does a baby that died remain a baby in heaven?Question #2 I would love your advice and thoughts on using a mohel to circumcise my son. Our family is not Jewish but I love the idea of a Bris; which traditionally consists of the circumcision, naming ceremony, and a festive meal to follow.Question #3 Who would be an example today of the people Jesus was talking about in Matthew 7:19-23? So they had good fruit meaning they cast out demons, prophesied, and done many wonders? That’s good fruit right? So why would He cast them to hell? If they did it using Jesus name didn’t they know who Jesus was and could you please explain more of Matthew 7:11-12?

Question #1 Every relationship I have or have ever been in from friendship to romantic, I tend to become very jealous. Because of that these relationships always end. What can I do? I don’t even know where to start.Question #2 My life is super stressful. Between my job which is high stress, I am a parent and am concerned for them with everything going on in and around the world. I know that the Bible says that we shouldn’t be anxious, but I am finding it hard not to be.

Question #1(Continuation from Episode 42) Are ghosts real? There are shows on TV about them, but I don’t know if they are real.Question #2 If you were given the chance to steal something, what would it be?Question #3 It’s really hard not to hate people, especially in the times we live in. How do we love people that hate us and not hate them back?Question #4Could you possibly do a podcast on your thoughts regarding the US Code, 4 USC 8: Respect for the flag. The flag represents a living country and is itself considered a living thing? Please and thank you!Question #5 Moses is considered the author of the first five books of the Bible, yet he dies in Deuteronomy. For all the people not familiar with the Bible, this is only the fourth book of the Bible. How did Moses write about his death, and then the book of Joshua with everything that took place when he was up the creek without a paddle, or in this case, up the mountain without a pulse?

Question #2Should we care about what people think and say about us?Question #3What are a couple of your favorite pictures you took or received this week?

Question #1What is the definition of drunkard and glutton? Christians make excuses and justify drinking alcohol in moderation and overeating.
