Speaker 1Hey, how's the week been y'all? Has it been good for you? It's been chilling. How do you think it's been for our listeners? Great, I think so. Potentially bad though Spring break was last week, so the days back to work after spring break, they're not as fun typically.
Speaker 3Did you guys do anything fun over spring break? How many people that work actually have a spring break?
Speaker 1I don't know. They may take time off because their kids are out of school. Did you do anything fun over spring break, Ben?
Speaker 3Would college spring break or high school spring break?
Speaker 1No, I mean like this past week, last week.
Speaker 3That would be this past week.
Speaker 1That was spring break, Uh-huh yeah according to Trent, you did do something. I know you did, so what'd you do last week?
Speaker 2You had to have done something.
Speaker 3Oh, I mean, technically, this is how this feels it was not because it was spring break, okay, great. What'd you do for spring break? Well, break. What did you do this past weekend? This past weekend, madison had a bachelorette trip that she had to go on, which was awesome, but Annie is not bottle feeding at all, so your boy got to go to Virginia.
Speaker 1Okay.
Speaker 3For like three days, two days, just to hang out and feed.
Speaker 1Annie.
Speaker 3Well, I wasn't feeding Annie, but hanging out with Annie, yes, Okay, gotcha. Well fun. We had some good times. We sat in some grass, walked around.
Speaker 1Yeah, that's cool.
Speaker 3How was the weather Great? It was supposed to be cold.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 3But it was like mid-40s but felt like the 60s. Oh rate Cool.
Speaker 1It was a wonderful good time.
Speaker 3What did you do, Kara?
Speaker 2It was Lane's birthday. We went to the beach, oh fun.
Speaker 3Oh, and apparently none of our members of the collective know anything about sunscreen.
Speaker 2Yes, we did all return very burnt and very red.
Speaker 1I was in Tennessee. It was cold the beginning of the week and the end of the week. We tried to buy a house, got in a bidding war, apparently lost the bidding war. It's okay. Our realtor right now should be currently walking through their house videoing it for us. It's exciting, Bob moved.
Speaker 3They did move.
Speaker 2yes, you can just live in the Square Dancing Center.
Speaker 1Yes, no, there's toilets there there'll be a lot of dancers throughout the week, so we only have it on sundays, um, but it was a good week. We went up and cleaned out the square dancing center. We replaced, um, all the cleaning supplies with new cleaning supplies which was good and necessary and, uh, we cleaned it out, set it up like it's gonna be, so it's great does for the church point.
Speaker 3This is a legit question. Okay. Does bleach get better the older it is Like. Does it like? Does it ferment? Yeah? I don't think so Does bleach become alcohol at some point is my question.
Speaker 1Well, I think it's already some sort of you know.
Speaker 3Yeah, but it's like a low level.
Speaker 1I don't know that it gets worse. I don't know, does bleach ferment or does it change?
Speaker 3with age? Does it get better with time? Is it?
Speaker 1like cheese. Well, Ashley's looking that up. I do have a fact of the day for you.
Speaker 3Fact of the day.
Speaker 1Did you know that?
Speaker 2if you.
Fun Facts and Theological Sleep Talk
Speaker 1Yeah, did you know that if you live to be 84 years old, you've spent roughly 28 years sleeping?
Speaker 3That's nuts.
Speaker 1That's wild. How do you?
Speaker 3even count, I guess you just average eight hours a night.
Speaker 1Yeah, seven hours probably a night over time.
Speaker 3That is older than me 28 years of sleep.
Speaker 1Which brings me to my next question Do you need to buy a new mattress? We are sponsored by Mattress Farm. Just kidding, we're not sponsored at all, but that's wild.
Speaker 3Pause for an ad break Pause for an ad break.
Speaker 1That's wild. That is wild. Yeah, you know what? Let's talk theologically for just a moment. I'm going to talk theologically about the fact of the day. Why do we sleep? Well, it's to remind ourselves that we're not in control of everything. We have to rest. The Lord does not have to. That's good. Boom, I tell Judah every night, every night, the last thing I say to him. Well, sometimes I say go back to bed, go to sleep, judah. The last thing I say to him is we can sleep. And he responds because the Lord doesn't. That's good. And then he comes up to get some extra water or something like that. I'm like, dude, you already have a bottle of water in your room. Go back to bed.
Speaker 3Yeah, but then he pulls the fast one. He's like well, dad, you tell me to be like Christ every day, and if he doesn't sleep, I'm just not going to do it.
Speaker 1He probably is listening to this, because my wife does listen to this in the car when my kids say hey, Judah. Shout out, Judah hey.
Speaker 2Drew, hey Katie.
Speaker 1Did you know? If you're seven feet tall, you have a one in six chance of landing in the NBA.
Speaker 2I could have been in the NBA. No you can't. I'm one seven feet tall, if you're seven foot tall, one in six chance.
Speaker 1So if you're seven foot, I mean, might as well still play basketball.
Speaker 3Yeah, you got a good chance of making a lot of money. If you can't walk through doors normally, try to dunk a ball. See what?
Speaker 1happens. Maybe you can be a millionaire. Well, you have to be good to do that. Jess went to a. Well, yeah, but you have a one in six chance, right? So you just got to be better than the other six. No, no, you got to be better than the other six to get in the NBA, and then you have to be better than everyone else to get the lowest salary in the NBA is probably still so high now.
Speaker 3oh yeah, there's like there's like what's the lowest salary for a, an active player, not on like a practice squad? No, there's like two-way contracts that they they play in the NBA and in the G League and they make like 50 bucks. That's not the right number, but it's. It's a lot, jess.
Speaker 1Jess is from a very town and she had a seven-foot-tall basketball player 1.1 million. Yeah, come on, man Millionaire, Look at there.
Speaker 2Also bleach, gets worse over time.
Speaker 3Worse Like less effective. Yeah, what Losing its?
Speaker 2effectiveness as the sodium hypochlorite compound degrades, becoming less effective for cleaning and disinfecting.
Speaker 3All right, so here's what we're going to do. I was actually thinking about the ribonucleic acid or whatever you said.
Speaker 2Oh yeah.
Speaker 3Yep, that's what I was thinking.
Blind Ranking Characters at Soccer
Speaker 1Here we go. I want you, ben, to blind rank characters based on how good they'd be at soccer. So there are six that I have that you have not seen. You just can't tell them what I'm going to tell them in that order. So there are six characters and you have to put them in a spot on how good they'd be at soccer, one being the best, six being the worst.
Speaker 3Blind ranking Blind ranking.
Speaker 1Here we go, your first character, drum roll Spongebob. One out of six, four, okay, I think that's, like you know, kind of middle but a little bit worse than middle. That's a good first. Spongebob Charlie Brown six six the worst because he, because he misses the football. But he only misses the football because Snoopy moves the football not Snoopy who his sister?
Speaker 3oh, lucy, yeah, but because Snoopy moves the football, not Snoopy who His sister. Oh, lucy, oh yeah, yeah, but the ball's not standing still in soccer.
Speaker 1Okay.
Speaker 3He's going to miss that thing.
Speaker 1All right, I think you're not going to put him as number six.
Speaker 3I just did.
Speaker 1Lord Farquaad. Lord Farquaad is the king in track. He's like two foot tall, scrappy. Oh, scrappy, scrappy.
Speaker 3I wouldn't say Scrappy, no, he's Scrappy, I would say he's aggressive, pompous, aggressive, arrogant, scrappy he's going two, two, he's going two. He'll be up top in a 4-4-2.
Speaker 1Okay, we need to write this down. Can you write this down? Okay, we've got. Spongebob is four, charlie Brown is six, lord Farquaad is two.
Speaker 3Yeah, because pair him with like a six footer and you're living life, you're living dreams.
Speaker 1All right, spider-man.
Speaker 3Spider-Man. I've got three five three, five and one left.
Speaker 1Three, one, three and five.
Speaker 3One, three and five.
Speaker 1Spider-Man.
Speaker 3Spider-Man's at the one. Spider-man, spider-man's top. He put it there, yep, he's probably the best place.
Speaker 1Then we got Yoda.
Speaker 3Yoda number three.
Speaker 1Yoda Okay Number three.
Speaker 3Mind controlling goalie.
Speaker 1Okay, and then number what will be number five? Captain Jack Sparrow, that's honestly, I think that's a good spot for him. That's a good number five. That's a good spot for him. He kind of topples, moves. His hands are out wide.
Speaker 3He might have had a blast, a handball all the time.
Speaker 1Yeah, yeah, captain Jack Sparrow, that's good, that's fun.
Speaker 3I think there's a picture of Lord Farquaad that one needs to be changed, I think you should have had, yoda should be two and then you put Lord Farquaad as five. I don't think Yoda would be good at.
Speaker 2He's definitely number two.
Speaker 3I don't think Yoda would be good at soccer, but he would be good in goal Because he's got the mind tricks.
Speaker 1The right answer should be, he's got the force. I think Spider-Man and then Yoda Mm-mm, or maybe Yoda and then Spider-Man, no, Spider-Man Yoda.
Speaker 3No, spidey's out wide left winger, right footed Jack.
Speaker 1Sparrow Charlie Brown.
Speaker 3Cutting in from the flanks, spongebob and Lord Farkland Waiting at Top.
Speaker 1Corner, I think Lord, actually SpongeBob's probably last Lord Farkland.
Speaker 3No, Charlie Brown is 100% last.
Speaker 1All right. Well, hey, here's what I want to talk about A very light topic.
Speaker 3I want us to talk about Q&A nights, the dichotomy of revelation.
Speaker 2What is a Q&A?
Speaker 1night? That's a good question. Yeah, A Q&A night is a night that we host Primarily. We have hosted them for young adults, where they can come in and ask any question that they want about Christianity, relationships, the Bible. I mean relationships through a biblical worldview, the Bible, theology, what they've heard about Christianity, the church, theology, what they've heard about Christianity, the church. They can ask those questions anonymously and on the spot. Pastors or ministry leaders will answer their questions, like in a panel format. So we dedicate about an hour just to letting them ask whatever question they would like. That's good and nice.
Speaker 3Anything you want to add to that.
Speaker 1Yeah, I mean it's— Not why. Why don't answer?
Speaker 3yeah, yeah uh, recently, as of this past semester, we have transformed them to barbecue and a nights barbecue. What was that? Barbecue and a night? No, no, one more time. What was that barbecue and a nights? Wow, good stuff because, like, who doesn't want to get together and eat and get some questions asked and barbecue just fits great with barbecue and a like come on.
Speaker 2Whose idea was this, anne's?
Speaker 3That was Anne's. Yes, shout out, anne. Good idea who is going with Trenton to Tennessee?
Speaker 2If you would like to go to Tennessee, please email Trent at fbcorg fbctampaorg is how our emails work.
Speaker 1Or you could email Trent at redeemercitychurch Ooh, he's got an email everybody. There it is. Hey, that was fun. So barbecue and ice.
Speaker 3Yes.
Speaker 1So you get barbecue catered? Yes, just order some barbecue.
Speaker 3Let them eat ice. So you get barbecue catered. Yes, just order some barbecue, let them eat it. I'm a big barbecue fan. I couldn't care less about barbecue, if I'm being honest.
Speaker 1Where I grew up was right in between Memphis and Kansas City. Kansas City beats Memphis. Memphis is also good, but Kansas City is the best. What's the difference? Just they taste different. I think Kansas City's more tomato sauce. Burnt ends are really big at Kansas City, but I'm not a burnt end fan Brisket is more Texas-ish.
Speaker 1North Carolina barbecue's like vinegary yeah no, no, don't like that, so Memphis sometimes has a mustard-ish taste, whereas Kansas City has more of a like a tomato-ish taste, whereas Kansas City has more of a tomato-ish, ketchup-ish kind of base. I like Kansas City better the mustard, no, the more ketchup, the tomato, tomato-ish taste. But I like dry rub ribs. Yeah, so Kansas City dry ribs my favorite. But I will say this there's not a ton of really good barbecue in Tampa, sorry Tampa, but Mighty Quinn's on Dale Mabry really good, really good barbecue. Cool, their brisket is just chef's kiss Very good, okay.
Speaker 1So how do we do Q&A nights?
Speaker 1Well, I'd heard about doing a Q&A type of thing from another ministry leader named Kosti Hinn, who was doing it after their youth ministries, and what they did was they set up a Google form and put on that Google form that anyone could type in an anonymous question. That Google Form is linked to a Google Sheet, it's all free and that Google Sheet will receive that query, that question, in real time. Query, nice. You type it in, you press enter, it's on a website you can share, press enter and it goes directly to a Google Sheet which is private. So, public Google Form, google Form to a private Google Sheet, correct? So on that Google Sheet, we have an iPad that has Google Sheets on it and so when someone goes to that website, the Google Form, and types in their question, it'll go directly to that Google Sheet. As long as you have Wi-Fi, it pops up in real time, or if you have obviously like a phone that doesn't need Wi-Fi, so someone in the crowd can type it in and it comes up on the iPad.
Speaker 1Additionally, we create a QR code that will take you directly to that Google.
Speaker 3Form, so all they have to do is scan a QR code on the screening type in their question on their phone and it goes directly to an ipad on the stage. Yes, anonymously. We have no idea who asks and we, we normally make it available the week or so before, so they they have any questions throughout the week to throw on there. Uh, most of the time I feel like we get like maybe three of those and then like 85 on the night. Um, which makes sense, because they're sitting there thinking like, oh, maybe I should ask a question since I'm here.
Speaker 1We're able to get through like 12 to 15 questions, probably on average.
Speaker 3It depends on the questions. Yeah, because I would say that we hit on more than that, but that's because there's overlapping questions, so like we probably hit like 30 of them, but 10 of them were the same question.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1What are some of the questions we've been asked? Oh, geez A lot. What are some questions? Kara Participate here.
Speaker 2I am, I'm thinking, I am participating.
Speaker 1What are some of the questions that we get asked? So some fun questions.
Speaker 2We always get asked some questions about predestination, I've noticed, and questions just about like living the Christian life, so like relationships oh sorry Prayer and whatnot.
Speaker 1So usually there's questions pertaining to relationships, usually about some kind of predestination, god's work in sovereignty, questions about assurance of salvation. How can I know that I know? Questions like age-old apologetics, questions like what about the man on the island who's never heard? Or why does good things happen to bad people? Or why is there suffering?
Speaker 3or evil in the world? Or should I date this non-believer if they're really cute, yeah relationship questions.
Speaker 1Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sometimes there's like unique Relationship questions yeah.
Speaker 2Yeah, how did you?
Speaker 1Sometimes there's like unique random revelation questions.
Speaker 3Yeah.
Common Questions People Ask
Speaker 1Like hey. Revelation 11 says that there's four angels at the four corners of the earth. Does that mean the earth is flat and you're just like no?
Speaker 2That was a legitimate question.
Speaker 1That was a question I asked like two or three years ago.
Speaker 3Yeah. Questions like how did you guys get into ministry? What made you want to get into ministry Favorite?
Speaker 1Bible verse and why? Yeah, what's the first book that you'd recommend to a new believer to read alongside of them? How do you study your Bible? Yeah, Any other common questions that come through?
Speaker 2Assurance of faith relationship questions sovereignty of God questions Evangelism, and like how to share my faith with this family member or LGBTQ plus issues. Yeah, just like questions about our culture.
Speaker 1Yeah, how to engage the culture? How does the Bible speak to the things going on in our culture? Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1So why do we do this? Well, I gave three reasons and just add to these if you want to. Why do we do this? Well, I gave three reasons and just add to these, if you want to. Why do we do Q&A nights? Well, because we want people to know that their questions are welcome, that people have real questions and there are real answers in the Scriptures. God created the world and he also wrote a book about the world. He created the reason why he created it and what he, of course, thinks is best for those he created within that world, what he's done for those he created in the world, and so we want to bring those questions they have to light. We want to be extremely applicable, and so let them ask questions, letting them know skeptics are welcome.
Speaker 3Yeah, questions are good. I think people at least. What I've ran into recently is that people get confused between having questions and questioning God, because some people feel a certain way about having questions about things and like, oh, if I have questions, am I questioning God? Am I not truly saved, like it says, if I'm questioning these things? And so you can have questions, like you just have to be happy with whatever answer is given, Not from us, but from Scripture.
Speaker 1Yeah, the apostles had questions.
Speaker 3Right, yeah, questions are not bad Questions. Are you finding out more information?
Why We Host Q&A Nights
Speaker 1The second thing. Second reason we want to model answering questions with the Scripture. So we want to model how to do biblical apologetics. So maybe they have a question about assurance of faith. Well, first John would be a good book to read, right? What does it look like to have practical faith, like the book of first John? What if they have questions about how the old Testament relates to the new, especially the sacrificial system? The book of Hebrews. What about Israel and the church and sin and salvation and all of what God's doing? The book of Romans, right? So we want to help them categorically think okay, how does the Bible answer these questions? Model that.
Speaker 3Yeah, a third thing. Well, I mean it's just to show that it's possible, but also to almost give them answers for things, because I bet some, if not most, of the questions that are being asked are not questions that maybe they specifically have. It could be questions that they've been faced with in attempting to talk to people.
Speaker 1Yeah, when we're giving answers, we're not saying I think this. We're trying to tie what we say to the standard of the truth, the text of Scripture. So we're practicing biblical apologetics. Well, this is what 2 Timothy says, this is what 1 Peter says. This is what Jude says.
Speaker 3Yes, it's not our thoughts, it's our words from scripture.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 3Our words aren't in scripture but you know.
Speaker 1So real questions. That's the first reason, because skeptics are welcome. Second reason we want to model biblical apologetics. The third we want to model charity on non-essentials, or we want to show that good Christians can disagree in good ways. You can disagree with a Christian and still be a Christian on a number of things not everything.
Speaker 3A lot of things, most things.
Speaker 1Most things. So maybe kind of showing some theological triage, here's some things that you should die for the exclusivity of Christ, the Trinity, the inspiration of scripture that God has spoken in his word. Those are things that Christians have died for. And there's things that have divided Christians over the years paedo-baptism, credo-baptism, certain you know church governance because you might go to a different church based upon governance, carpet color. Well, it shouldn't divide us.
Speaker 2It has, but it has unfortunately.
Speaker 1And then the third category. So die for divide over debate with other Christians.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1So that would be, maybe, the Holy Spirit's role in giving certain supernatural gifts. Cessationist versus continuationist, different ways of understanding the sovereignty of God, arminianism or Calvinism. Baptists have historically disagreed on both those things. Baptists have also historically disagreed on how to interpret the book of Revelation in the end times. These are things that we can debate about and still be believers If you debate in the right way.
Speaker 3Of course, my view is always the right view on those things. Yes.
Speaker 1Trent. Well, here's the thing. Here's how opinions work, right? You believe yourself to be right on that issue, right? So if you have an opinion, that's.
Speaker 3Would you say that's your truth, Trent?
Speaker 1I would not say that truth changes. I would just say I'm the best, I'm just kidding, I'm kidding, I'm kidding, I'm kidding, I'm kidding, of course. So we want to model charity right, these are things that you can disagree upon and still remain Christians, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2There was one, do you remember that? So that was very interesting.
Speaker 1We had a number of people attending that night who were Catholic, practicing Catholics, that's cool. Questions on Mary and the church, the 1-2 church, that kind of thing, yeah, what is the two-fold promise? So, um, this is something I took from another pastor. Uh, so on these q a nights I try to kind of and in the past I try to advertise them to say, hey, we want you to bring unbelieving friends here.
Speaker 3Yes, bring your friends.
Speaker 1It's an outreach. We can promise two things, or we'll try to hold to this two-fold promise. Right, you do not need to qualify on the way in. That means, hey, just so you know they might say this and that's a little off color or surprising or whatever, and then there's no apologies needed on the way home. So hey, I can't believe they started talking about this random political thing and got so angry about it or whatever it might be.
Speaker 3We're not going to condemn you to hell, but we'll say scripture.
Moderating and Managing Questions
Speaker 1Yeah, and we always just say, hey, no qualification, no apologies, and you shouldn't apologize for what's true. So, where we speak the and you shouldn't apologize for what's true. So where we speak the scriptures, don't apologize, right? So we try to keep that two-fold promise no qualification the way in, no apology, the way home.
Speaker 3I love the Q&A nights. I think the collective really loves them too. It's just a good night for them to sit down and not hear a, Not that. Hearing a sermon all the time is bad but it gets a little different of a break and a little bit more playful sometimes with questions and answers and here's more hear more opinions and stuff like that.
Speaker 1So I think it's been great. Kara's been the moderator a number of times, yeah, and the one thing that I've told you, kara, and maybe you can speak to being a moderator, is no questions are off limits, but if they're overly specific or it's not really going to help everybody and it might tell too much about the person asking the question, don't ask that one.
Speaker 3You do a good job, Kara.
Speaker 2I try to lump some questions together so if two people have questions about dating a nonbeliever or something, then I might mention a little bit of each of the questions and then just send it to you guys, because usually you guys can give a more broad answer that speaks kind of like as an overarching answer to both questions.
Speaker 3In case you're wondering, the answer to that is no.
Speaker 1Don't do it we have in the past because it's on Google Sheets. You can like shade in the text.
Speaker 2Yeah, you can put different colors.
Speaker 1Sometimes shade it in green or red, green, meaning you should ask this question, kara Red, if we did this beforehand, Right. Red meaning. This is probably an unhelpful question to ask in this space, and sometimes it's one that we may feel unprepared for, or one that, just using some pastoral sensibilities, it may not be a good idea to open this can of worms because of some people in the room.
Speaker 3Yeah, or it's like I felt this specific thing happened to me this Tuesday last year and explain it to me.
Speaker 2Yeah, usually you guys will hang around a little bit afterwards if anyone wants to come directly to you and ask you a question. Yeah, that's more personal, so.
Speaker 3Yeah, or if it just didn't get asked that night, or something.
Speaker 1And people can ask as many questions as they want and keep typing in different questions.
Speaker 3Yeah, and we even say want to ask someone specifically who's on stage a question. You could write that in there and make that a thing.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 3I think we're going to have a little bit more of that, uh, uh, next next week, next week, uh, with Olivia on stage, just to get some specific questions for her going.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2Olivia, all right.
Speaker 1Live, anything else.
Speaker 3No, well, so one one. I guess one thing in closing is something that I love about the Q&A is that it's it gives the opportunity for people to ask the questions. I'm realizing now that most of the Q&A will have very similar, if not the same exact questions, which isn't a bad thing, because college ministry is so fluid from semester to semester. One semester you have a big group who never has Tuesday night class, and then the next semester half of those people might have a Tuesday night class and other people might not have a Tuesday night class. So it's, it's a continuing to do. It is allowing me to one get better answers for those same questions.
Speaker 3Uh, to realize that it it a lot of people are like wondering the same thing. Um, but as a way to even break that up a little bit is I think what I'm going to start doing, uh, is having a themed Q and a each semester. Like this semester, we did a relationship night where we asked them to specifically ask questions about relationships and we brought up Jesse Maddie was supposed to be there, but Annie ended up not doing well that night, so she wasn't able to but just kind of getting different people in front of them with specific questions to ask, so I think that'll be good yeah that's good.
Speaker 3Might lean on the relationship night for a couple semesters, because that's fun.
Speaker 1Different couples up there. College is the age where people are typically looking for their spouse, whether or not that's why the Lord has for them, or when the Lord has a spouse for them, but that's the age a lot of people are looking for their spouse.
Speaker 2It's also the age that a lot of people are just kind of like trying to figure out their faith and whatnot, so a lot of college kids are hungry. I was realizing during like this last discussion time during YA, like so many of the college kids have so many weird random questions, which I understand, why a bunch of weird random questions pop up because they're thinking about these things in scripture, which is really cool.
Speaker 3Yeah, I ever heard some of those questions. They were fun. It's like what, at one point, they're like oh, kara has the answers for everything. No, that was not true.
Speaker 2But it was fun to just hear some of them.
Final Thoughts on Impact
Speaker 1Yeah, yeah, questions are fun. What do you think about the Nephilim? Those questions are not my favorite, excuse me. No, no, all right. Well, hey, I think that's it. Yeah, that about, does it?
Speaker 3That's all she wrote.
