Ep 28. Ask Anything Follow-Up #2

Luke, Seth, and Matthew Braselton take on even more questions that were submitted on Ask Anything Sunday, including:

• What is the purpose of the smoke/fog/haze used during services?
• Why do we sometimes change song lyrics from their original writing?
• What’s the best way to deal with a spouse that is taking so much time away from his family due to being distracted by his phone?
• As a parent, how do you handle when your kids grow up and move away to college and stray away from spending time with God. How can you avoid feeling like a failure as a parent?
• What do you say to someone who has experienced much loss throughout their life, and as a result, seriously doubts that God is good (in general, and especially to them)?
• Follow up to civil disobedience question- following God not man - why did Churches close (when God says do not forsake the gathering)-instead following mandates from man. What was learned and what will be done differently if faced with it again?
• Your emphasis on attending Sunday services at church rather than choosing to watch Sunday services online in the safety of their home is clear and easily understood. You emphasize fellowship. What are your feelings about people who prefer to fellowship in smaller settings such their RC’s and other ministries?
• As Redemption Gateway grows, are there future plans to expand the facilities to accommodate the growth or instead plant another church?
• What do you do to protect your faith and keep your heart soft to keep serving as pastors?
• I listened to “The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill” podcast from Christianity Today. Knowing spiritual abuse by leadership is not relegated only to one church, what guidelines do Gateway and Redemption AZ have in place to guard against such abuse?
