A practice brought up a ton in Scripture and hotly debated today...what do we do with circumcision? Does the Bible prescribe it still? What are the medical ramifications?

In today’s episode, Pastor Derek and Pastor Jackie talk through a listener question around circumcision and how Christians should think about it today. We look at the origin of circumcision in the Bible, how Christians dealt with the issue through the New Testament, and medical research and opinions on the matter today to help listeners determine what may be the right steps for their family on this issue.

What does it mean to make a "graven image" of something? Does that include pictures on my walls...even of Jesus? Are you breaking the 2nd commandment by having these items in your home?

In today’s episode, Pastor Derek and Pastor Jackie talk through a listener question regarding the true meaning of the 2nd commandment. We wrestle through what it looks like to obey this commandment, as well as a common misunderstanding and logical flaws of how some interpret this command. We hope that as you listen, the Scriptures lead you to put away idols in your own life and turn to worship only the One True God.
