    How do I lovingly deal with someone who is always casting themselves as the victim in every situation? (34:33-49:37)

    What is the deal with the book of Proverbs? It always seemed weird to me that there is the little collection of sayings in the middle of the Bible. I feel like I don’t get much out of reading them. (49:41-01:05:19)

    In Mark 2:27, Jesus says to the pharisees that “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.” Is that an idea we can apply to wider religious stuff, even stuff that is in the Bible? Do we get to the point where we are serving religious things? If so, how do I not do that? (53:21-01:05:23

    Jesus talks about not praying in public like the hypocrites. What does that mean for praying in front of a church? Or famous people having pictures taken of them praying? Or non-famous people, like wedding pictures of people praying over the couple? Is that a sin? Just weird? (20:20-39:12)

    I know it is not my place to judge anyone else’s salvation. But, At some point, people who believe things like God loves rich people more than poor people or God wants us to treat immigrants badly are just not Christian by any definition that I recognize. How do I acknowledge that without judging? (39:18-01:00:06)

    A lot of talk about being honest with God is about being angry at Him? What about being disappointed, or sad about things he has done, are those okay feelings to have? (01:00:09-01:15:12)

    *Note: Matt somehow broke his mic without knowing it, so his audio is a little thinner than normal. Apologies, everything will be back to normal next episode.
