“Why doesn’t the Bible say Mary was a perpetual virgin?” This question opens a discussion on the nuances of biblical interpretation and tradition. Other topics include the nature of perfect contrition and its implications for confession, as well as the concept of the treasury of merit and its origins.

Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered: 02:40 – If the Beatific Vision is a gift that God gives us, then it would seem that God could create us with that gift. But why doesn't he?

Can non-Catholics have perfect contrition? 21:32 – What is the treasury of merit and where do we get it from? 28:59 – Why doesn’t the bible just come out and say that Mary was a perpetual virgin? 35:24 – Where do we find co-remptrix in the Bible? 41:57 – No divine justice for non-human animals does not make sense to me. 51:39 – Is there anything in our faith about exactly how Jesus was born?
Caroline Saunders joins us to explore what the Bible says about balance. Instead of offering a formula, Caroline reframes balance as a Spirit-led practice rooted in worship, where we honor our God-given limits while trusting a limitless God. Drawing from Psalms, Mary and Martha, Proverbs 31, and the life of Jesus, the conversation addresses overwhelm, changing seasons, work and rest, giving healthy no's, and recognizing the warning signs of imbalance like bitterness and exhaustion.LINKSCome Home Bible StudyCaroline Saunders ResourcesStory & SoulRECOMMENDED: Trace the theme of home through Scripture in the first episode of our five-episode miniseries with Caroline Saunders on Marked.

Questions about the nature of hell and the destiny of the soul are resurfacing in the church, often framed as matters of nuance or speculation. Scripture, however, speaks with deliberate gravity—placing eternal punishment and eternal life side by side. These doctrines are meant to shape reverence, humility, and urgency, not fearfulness or indifference.

Christian schools promise safety, but safety is found only in obedience to God's design. When education separates knowledge from character and learning from obedience, it produces pride rather than wisdom. Scripture calls parents to teach diligently as they sit, walk, rise, and lie down. True education is not measured by information transferred, but by lives shaped in the fear of the Lord.

Is Social Security just neutral math, or a moral issue for Christians? Kevin Swanson and Josh Schwisow open Matthew 15, 1 Timothy 5, and the example of Jesus on the cross to show that God assigns elder care first to children, grandchildren, and the local church—not the state. They expose Social Security as an unsustainable Ponzi scheme propped up by birth implosion and political denial, and then cast a hopeful vision for families, diaconates, and congregations that tithe, give, and prepare to care for their own widows when the system cracks.

Did the true Church disappear for 1,500 years until the Reformation—or has Christ always preserved His people? Kevin and Josh examine the meaning of "the catholic church" in the Apostles' Creed, the promise of Matthew 16:18, and the role of church history in understanding Christ's ongoing work.
When governments tighten the screws, should Christian families stay and fight, or pack up and look for a freer place to live? Modern homeschoolers feeling pressure from the state aren't the first to ask these questions. But neither the Word nor history is silent on this matter. Kevin and Josh discuss the examples of Rahab, the Hebrew midwives, and the pilgrims. The common theme: faith and obedience to Christ in the face of tyrannical authorities.
Episode Notes Abortions are increasing in America for the first time since the 1970's. Learn what the Bible has to say about this difficult topic, what science says, and answers to our most common questions. Each week, we share engaging, expository messages and verse-by-verse Bible teaching from Lead Pastor David Sorn and other trusted guest speakers. These messages are rooted in Scripture and designed to help you understand God's Word in context and live it out with clarity and purpose. Whether you're exploring faith or growing in it, we pray they inspire and equip you to follow Jesus.
Is adoption for everyone, and what about "curses" from a child's background? In this episode, Kevin and Josh unpack how the Bible holds together mercy and judgment—Exodus 34, Ezekiel 18, and the "333 to 1" mercy ratio—showing that patterns of sin can be broken through faith and repentance. The goal isn't to scare Christians away from adoption, but to ground them in realistic love, ethical wisdom, and rock-solid confidence that God is a mighty Redeemer for the fatherless.
While God intended marriage to last a lifetime (Matthew 19:6), there are some circumstances in which it is healthy for a believer to divorce their spouse (1 Corinthians 7:15; Exodus 21:10-11).

Are borders tyrannical or necessary? Returning guest Chris Polk helps us dismantle the political theater around immigration and ask what allegiance to Jesus looks like when the state shows up with masks and rifles. From truck-stop stories to John 4, they explore why restricting movement may be the worst tyranny and how ordinary neighbor love beats team-red/blue fear. Chris argues both parties fed the ICE machine, shares a Cuban car rescue story that needed no papers, and reminds us that Jesus walked through Samaria, not around it. If Mary and Joseph fled Herod today, would we demand their passports? They dig into: Why “do something!” turns into state violence Borders as cages that keep you in vs. others out The Good Samaritan as the “Good Immigrant” Cop-aganda and qualified immunity “Would Jesus follow the law?” when the law crushes the least

Want faithful pastors? Start where Scripture starts: 2 Timothy 2:2. Instead of head-only training, build a head–heart–hands pathway inside the local church—2–3 years of life-on-life mentorship, character testing, real evangelism and shepherding, with academics as ~20% of the whole. Kevin and Josh outline qualifications before credentials, how churches can "bring seminary home," and the practical steps for young men and elders to build a pipeline that multiplies effective shepherds.
In this message from Pastor Kevin Queen, we look at Jesus' teaching in Mark 10:1–12 and explore what the Bible really says about marriage, divorce, and singleness. Whatever your relationship status, God has something for you. Marriage can be beautiful; but it can also be hard. Divorce can be painful; but it's not the end of […]
