How do I show him the love of Christ?00:24:48 - Scripture gives 3 categories of relationships: single, celibate, and married. Are they equally important and does our church promote all three?00:28:45 - There seems to be some missing literature from Jesus' life. Specifically from ages 12-30.

Should they have it? 2. How do you balance and monitor it as a parent? (Instagram/Snapchat/Tiktok)00:57:25 - It seems as though we talk very openly about sexual themes as though there are only adults in the room quite often. Why don't we give a warning for when a sermon will contain explicit content?00:59:54 - How did you avoid a lustful relationship as a teenager with your significant other?01:04:49 - Why do Catholics believe in the Eucharist vs. communion and can we as Christians participate in the Eucharist when visiting a Catholic mass?01:08:42 - Would you encourage a divorced person to get remarried?01:09:22 - How does the death of Christ shape the mundane aspects of your life?

How do I know if the Holy Spirit is working? I feel like I can't get anywhere and I can't grow in my faith. What can I do to help a suicidal friend? Is it my responsibility to carry that weight? What are your thoughts about the recent developments of Roe vs Wade? How should I act toward people and family who are emotionally draining? How can I act towards them in a way that honors God? What should I do if I want to date a non-Christian but I know it will lead me away from God? Why does God give us insecurities? For example, mental health issues like anxiety and depression.
