Wretched Radio with Todd Friel

It’s Mailbag Friday! Is my Amish church a real church? Wretched Radio | Air Date: July 19, 2024 https://media-wretched.org/Radio/Podcast/WR2024-0719.mp3 It’s Mailbag Friday! You have questions. We have answers. If you have any questions, comments, conundrums, snarks, or ideas send them to [email protected]. Segment 1 Benny Hinn should go to the RNC and heal Trump’s ear, what a sight that would be. -Anonymous I’m Jesse from Pennsylvania, born and raised Amish with six children ages 19 to 4. I don’t believe the Amish meet the New Testament definition of Church. I think it’s a cult. My wife thinks my conversion is my willful purchase of a ticket to Hell. Do I allow my wife to teach my children the Amish way for unity in marriage, or teach them something different? I’m still attending the Amish church because going elsewhere means my family will likely kick me out. But if the Amish aren’t a true church, am I not going to church at all? I wasn’t saved when baptized – does this mean I’m not baptized at all? HELP! -Jesse Could I please get your thoughts on tattoos? I know there is a prohibition against them in Leviticus, but it seems to have been for the Jews at that time. -Nate Segment 2 Would you say someone who is a devout Catholic would be considered a Christian? (Are they saved?) -David Segment 3 I’m reading a book by a dead Puritan who says that if even one sin is loved in the heart, that we are not saved. How do I know if I love one, single sin in my heart when I am not at all good at introspection? -Steve Todd, my wife (of 24 years) and I recently experienced a miscarriage and two still births. After the second still birth, she went to a pretty dark place. She spends hours everyday, studying the Bible, but she now says that despite being a Christian as long as I’ve known her, she’s not sure she is saved. She believes in the God of the Bible, but she says she doesn’t trust Him to save her. She spends most days broken and crying, and it’s taking a toll on the whole family. -Tim Segment 4 I’ve noticed since starting university that I sometimes shake hands with women without thinking, but then feel it’s disrespectful as I view handshakes as masculine. Is it wrong to see it this way and is my dislike for gender role blurring going too far? -Anonymous If church is to be done God’s way, where should a Christian fall on the family integrated movement where children should not be separated from their parents during the church service? What about other weekly programming? The family integrated movement has some very compelling arguments but so few churches seem to go this way in practice. -Dustin I am employed at a library and am in charge of the Young Adult section there. While I have found it opens some doors to speak about what I believe, as a Christian I do struggle with what to do about some of the books in the collection. Many on the shelves are LGBTQ related and I am tasked with promoting them. I do not recommend books to purchase if they are LGBTQ, but the ones we have already I have to put on display sometimes. As a Christian how do I handle this? – Anonymous Young Person ___ Download Now (right click and save) Subscribe to Wretched Radio to receive every new episode directly to your device by selecting your device type or by copying the RSS feed link and pasting it into your podcast application.

Six elements that are typically present where unity isn’t found. Segment 2 We have become an instant gratification society. Waiting is a good thing. Put away childish things.

How are we supposed to process all of this? Wretched Radio | Air Date: July 15, 2024 https://media-wretched.org/Radio/Podcast/WR2024-0715.mp3 Segment 1 How do we take what’s in our noggin and apply it to our hearts? Note taking in church. Jesus is greater. Segment 2 No doubt you know of the assassination attempt of Donald Trump. We must run every event through the lens of Scripture. We don’t need to panic with Jesus at the helm. Segment 3 Greg Gifford will be here lecturing about “mental health.” You will give an account for every idle word you speak. Segment 4 We want to think through the things we say before we say them. Jesus is greater. What is the number one descriptor of God in the Bible? Our God is not running out of gas.

It’s Mailbag Friday! My wife is asking me to stay home more. Wretched Radio | Air Date: July 12, 2024 https://media-wretched.org/Radio/Podcast/WR2024-0712.mp3 Segment 1 If my job is asking me to work 12 hour shifts, but my wife is asking me to stay home more to help with our kids, how do I make a biblical decision? I have to provide for our needs and pay off debt, but should I work to the point that I’m not around as much for my family? -Anonymous My nephew is 15 years old. He is struggling with porn addiction. Perhaps also a victim, but will not share if he is. Do you have any advice on how we can help him? -Esther Are angels also created in the image of God? Aren’t they relational, and have wills just like humans? -Jess Segment 2 I was wondering how did you meet Ray Comfort? -Douglas So, why is abortion or trans the only moral dilemma on the ballot for many Christians? -Nathan Segment 3 Even though I know that God is real and that Jesus Christ is my friend – sometimes I feel like he’s just my imaginary best friend. How do I stop feeling like Christ is just an imaginary friend even though I know he’s real? -Anonymous I help out at the baptistry at my church. Recently 4 boys around age 7 were baptized after their time at VBS. I have a hard time believing a 7 year old understands the meaning of repentance and what baptism means. I mean, at age 7 I still thought Batman was real. What is the proper age for one to be baptized? -Vince Segment 4 What’s the Christian perspective on black holes? Are they real? If so, why would God create them? -Anonymous What is a Biblical way to think about dying hair, botox, and plastic surgery? I am noticing more older women at my church doing these things. Are these things ever not vain? How can I cultivate a Godly view of appearance and bodies as I age? -Jessi I often struggle with grogginess and brain fog in the mornings, especially during allergy season, and I’m wondering if I should still start each day in God’s Word, even though I struggle to focus and think clearly under these conditions, or should I wait for a time later in the day when it’s not as much a problem? -Jack As a parent of young children, I am conflicted on spanking. I think the Bible didn’t accidentally use “the rod” to represent discipline, but most of my Christian friends purposely avoid “hitting their kids” because they say spanking is abuse. Are they right?? -Abby I have a dear family member who believes that the Disney corporation is Satanic. I disagree with her. She believes it is wrong to take a vacation to Disney World and give that corporation money. I believe that it is a point of Christian liberty, that she shouldn’t if it is against her conscience, but I can since it is not against mine. Is this really a point of liberty, or am I in the wrong? -Anonymous ___ Download Now (right click and save) Subscribe to Wretched Radio to receive every new episode directly to your device by selecting your device type or by copying the RSS feed link and pasting it into your podcast application.

We read Christianity Today, so you don’t have to. Wretched Radio | Air Date: July 11, 2024 https://media-wretched.org/Radio/Podcast/WR2024-0711.mp3 Segment 1 Todd read Christianity Today, so you don’t have to. It has been newly redesigned. Russell Moore wrote a not-so-subtle article “Mt Zion or Mar-A-Lago?” The 2024 Republican platform has removed any talk of marriage and has gone soft on the life issue. Where should the church be spending its energy? Segment 2 The liberals own Hollywood. Greg Gifford is writing a new book. Segment 3 What does it mean to live above reproach? Once a pastor is no longer above reproach, then you can’t be a pastor anymore. Benny Hinn apparently repented five years ago. Segment 4 Calvin Robinson left the Anglican Communion. Mary recognized her need of a Savior. ___ Download Now (right click and save) Subscribe to Wretched Radio to receive every new episode directly to your device by selecting your device type or by copying the RSS feed link and pasting it into your podcast application.

Uh oh. Andy Stanley is at it again. Wretched Radio | Air Date: July 08, 2024 https://media-wretched.org/Radio/Podcast/WR2024-0708.mp3 Segment 1 Andy Stanley had another morality speech that he’d call a sermon. Does Andy Stanley have persuasive arguments? The first Bible was identified in the first century. How do we know Jesus was the ultimate authority? Segment 2 Andy Stanley is continuing to look at the Great Commission. All scripture is God breathed. Without the Old Testament, Jesus was a madman. Segment 3 Andy Stanley is creating a fog. Reformation doesn’t always mean progress. Segment 4 Andy Stanley ventures into the political realm and it seems on a road to liberalism.

It’s Mailbag Friday! How transparent should a church be about its finances? Wretched Radio | Air Date: July 05, 2024 https://media-wretched.org/Radio/Podcast/WR2024-0705.mp3 It’s Mailbag Friday! You have questions. We have answers. If you have any questions, comments, conundrums, snarks, or ideas send them to [email protected]. Segment 1 I’m wondering about the depth of financial transparency a church should provide to its members, specifically regarding staff salaries. Some churches show only the total sum of all staff salaries in their budget, while others list each staff member’s salary individually. I’ve seen both approaches in different churches. Intuitively, full transparency seems ideal, but maybe there are aspects I’m not considering. Although it’s not a top-tier issue, I believe it’s still important to address. What are your thoughts on the appropriate level of financial disclosure in church budgets? -William I have been experiencing fear and distrust in myself when confessing my sins, as I struggle to believe that I am truly repentant. This fear leads to obsessive thoughts and repetitive Scripture quoting. How can I find assurance of forgiveness and maintain intimacy with God despite my struggles with fear and doubt? – Mitchell Segment 2 Are you struggling with assurance? Maybe you need to hear this… Does God withhold blessings due to sin? I’m struggling with the fact that I desire a wife and children, but haven’t received these blessings, despite seeing others with the same sins who have. I don’t want to covet, yet I can’t help but wonder why this is happening. -Ephraim Can you discuss how male church leaders should handle and address interactions with females? I’m curious because I saw an elder from my church meeting alone with a college girl for coffee. They were talking in a semi-secluded area, and the conversation was mostly the girl sharing personal issues, with the elder listening and offering basic Christian advice. Is it unwise for him to meet alone with a girl half his age? Should he have directed her to a female leader? As church leaders are held to a higher standard, I’d appreciate your view on whether this situation appears unwise or gives the appearance of evil. -Anonymous I have a concern about my daughter, who’s in her early 30s and engaged: She and her fiancé plan to travel together for three weeks in South America, prior to their marriage. While they assure me of their honorable intentions, I’m troubled by this and their resistance to my counsel. Do you have any advice you can offer for handling my discomfort, especially since I can’t prevent them from going? -Anonymous Segment 3 I attend a great confessional church where we stand for the Doxology, but we remain seated during the reading of God’s Word. This practice has been bothering me. I know there’s a risk of elevating confessions and creeds above the Bible, and while I’m not suggesting my church is doing this, it does raise questions for me. What’s your perspective on this practice? -Michelle Do you think it’s wise to have a term limit for elders and deacons? -Josh I keep getting told by everyone that my main issue is I lack confidence. I try to avoid boasting about myself, but both in job searches as well as dating, it seems to stand out as a detriment as if I am weak or unmanly. Any advice in this regard. -Anonymous Segment 4 Within the past year or so, I have been learning more about correct theology, and have realized that the church I’ve been attending since I was 8 years old (I’m now 21) is a false church. One of the secondary problems I have with the church is their stress on the King James Version of the Bible. They believe that if you don’t have a 1611 KJV Bible then you don’t have a Bible at all, and any other translations are satanically driven to deceive believers. Do you believe that this alone is reason enough to leave this church? -Daniel If you feel like you are going to die,

Partially due to my age, but also because of simply not wanting any more! We also feel conflicted about not giving our son a sibling.

She says she would rather adopt children instead. I don’t know how to encourage her or what to pray for her concerning this. Is she wrong to not want her own biological children? -Adrian There is a deacon in my church who always makes sarcastic comments. It seems like about everything. While I understand sarcasm, I also don’t believe Sunday morning worship to be the time or place for it. Any suggestions on how I can approach him about this? -Willam Segment 3 My dad recently said that he thought pastors should talk about the news and politics from the pulpit. Is that biblical? -Kaleb Segment 4 A ministry that I have supported for years has announced that it will invest in AI that is supposed to teach others the Gospel. Their goal, they say, is to “amaze” people with this, and they claim the church will be left behind unless we invest in AI like everyone else is doing. I feel opposed to this because I believe the Bible is clear about humans discipling other humans. I also worry that this ministry is exhibiting worldly thinking. -Justin I was just wondering if you had any advice on dealing with grief over apostate friends? -Joe There are many programs and educational institutions that charge money to understand the Bible (seminaries, colleges, etc) Is there anywhere in the Bible that prohibits financial transactions or the charging of money to others who want to better understand the Bible? Should not the understanding and study of the word be given freely? -Anonymous Our adult daughter has self identified as transgender and self diagnosed with multiple personalities. Our question is how do we Biblically navigate this? We cannot agree with her lifestyle and for the safety of our younger children feel we must keep her at arms length.

Segment 1 Why can’t we let go of coffee for a few hours on Sunday morning? Why do we need to be sipping coffee during the service? In my opinion, coffee in the sanctuary, is in some ways irreverent to God. -Marion I am an 18-year-old college student who’s aspiring to go into the mission field. I understand that to be a missionary, I need to be an elder-qualified man. However, throughout my entire life, even after I was saved, I’ve struggled with lust and pornography. I’ve grown in self-control and faith, but still battle with it. Does this make me unqualified for eldership/missions? If not, how can I know I am qualified? -Ashton Segment 2 I work a retail job, where the company supports the LGBTQ, but the company has not required us to participate or support in any way.

If I’ve been messing up as a Christian I WANT TO make sure I start obeying ALL of God’s commandments. -Peggy Segment 2 Wondering what to do in sharing with my dad on the sufficiency of Scripture. Though he claims to be a believer he doubts its sufficiency because it was written by men. I have shared with him the passages like 1 Tim. 3:16 and others, but he basically wants a resource outside of the Bible to claim that the Bible is true. -Brandon Segment 3 Is it a sin to open a coffee shop inside of a church? -Anonymous I’m at a loss with my 19-year-old son! He’s always been very structured, with the motto “I date for marriage, not for fun!” But now in college, he’s thrown that out the window, lost his virginity, and is obsessed with his girlfriend.

The plans involve mostly traveling out of the USA and around the USA, with some time for hobbies and family. Please note that this pastor makes significantly over $100K a year and has a generous vacation plan in a church of only 250 people. I was taught that a sabbatical is a rest from regular work, used to study and grow, and that one should come back with a new perspective or a book they’ve written. I’m not okay with vacationing being the dominant part of the time off. Maybe I have the definition wrong. -Richard ___ Download Now (right click and save) Subscribe to Wretched Radio to receive every new episode directly to your device by selecting your device type or by copying the RSS feed link and pasting it into your podcast application.
