The Hope Hotline

Question #1Can you discuss the ways to speak to God? Does it always have to be through prayer and closed out in the name of Jesus? Can you just talk to him? Does it need to be out loud or can you speak to him silently?Question #2I have been watching, learning, and studying since I found Foundation Church during the pandemic. This is so different from the way I was raised as a 7th Day Adventist. My grandfather was a minister. I fell away from the church in my high school years. I’ve always believed, I just felt it was not always right what they taught. I felt called to Foundation Church even though I don’t live in Florida. I watch podcasts and Sunday Church. I wanted to find a church like Foundation in my area. After some research I found one similar and have started attending. I have not yet received the ability to speak in tongues, but I believe it will come. My mother who was raised 7th Day Adventist says that it is of the devil to speak in tongues because that is what they are taught. How can I explain or help her to understand speaking in tongues is not of the Devil?Question #3I sing in a 70’s and 80’s classic rock band. I am torn as to whether I should quit it or not? I am not sure who that is viewed by our God. I do make money in the band, and I do tithe off of that money as well as my full-time day job. How can I know if I should quit? I have asked God to lead me to that decision, but nothing has transpired for me yet.

Question #1Pastor Tom says that you guys do not fight. How do you do that with two strong personalities?Question #2Why was Rehab blessed even though she lied?Question #3The area that I live in New York we have to “church hop” to find a church full of the fire and sound doctrine. I tithe to the River where we get fed. The church I attend nearby has closed for several reasons and shows videos. Should I attend a church with pansy Christians that love Jesus or stay home. Or just carry the fire and irritate everyone which is what I feel I do.Question #4I am struggling with my son. He has the coolest room an 8-year-old can ever dream of but at bedtime is the worst time of day for my husband and I. He has to take melatonin every night and he won’t sleep in his own room. I nursed him until he was 2 years old, I am sure that’s where the problem began. To keep up my milk supply, it was skin to skin all day long. I was never able to produce a sufficient amount of breast milk. Now he won’t sleep alone. My husband and I need our bed back and are struggling to find alone time for the important thing in a marriage (wink wink) please help!Question #5Should we read the books of the Bible that were removed like the book of Enoch?

Question #1I am struggling to get pregnant; I do not want to go to a doctor, besides prayer what else can I do?Question #2How do I find the balance between being a Godly submissive wife yet still a strong bold woman?Question #3How do you overcome adultery in a Christian marriage and what can I do to take every thought captive when the root of bitterness and anger continuously interrupt my thoughts?Question #4What is gossip? How do you explain a situation to another person without the concerns of it being gossip?Question #5Pastor Tom says that you guys do not fight. How do you do that with two strong personalities?

Question 1: Please explain the laying on of hands and falling out in the spirit?Question 2: I struggle with the commandment "honor your mother and father". How do I do this when we are so very different (unsaved heavy alcohol drinkers) and I don't want their lifestyle or beliefs to have any influence on my daughter?Question 3: I live 1,000 miles from the mother and father. They live an average "American lifestyle". How can I encourage my parents to find God with such distance between us?Question 4: What is a healthy amount of time a married couple should have sex?Question 5: How do I know I am hearing the voice of God when it sounds like my own thoughts?
