Speaker 2:Because I don't know what's going on.
Speaker 1:There we go, but I usually turn Bob up just a little bit because he stays pretty far away from the mic.
Speaker 2:But you stay close to the mic, we're right here.
Speaker 1:Hey, 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 3:Did you guys do anything fun over spring break? How many people that work actually have a spring break?
Speaker 1:I 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 3:Would college spring break or high school spring break?
Speaker 1:No, I mean like this past week, last week.
Speaker 3:That would be this past week.
Speaker 1:That 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 2:You had to have done something.
Speaker 3:Oh, 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 1:Okay.
Speaker 3:For like three days, two days, just to hang out and feed.
Speaker 1:Annie.
Speaker 3:Well, 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 1:Yeah, that's cool.
Speaker 3:How was the weather Great? It was supposed to be cold.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 3:But it was like mid-40s but felt like the 60s. Oh rate Cool.
Speaker 1:It was a wonderful good time.
Speaker 3:What did you do, Kara?
Speaker 2:It was Lane's birthday. We went to the beach, oh fun.
Speaker 3:Oh, and apparently none of our members of the collective know anything about sunscreen.
Speaker 2:Yes, we did all return very burnt and very red.
Speaker 1:I 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 3:They did move.
Speaker 2:yes, you can just live in the Square Dancing Center.
Speaker 1:Yes, 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 3:This 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 1:Well, I think it's already some sort of you know.
Speaker 3:Yeah, but it's like a low level.
Speaker 1:I don't know that it gets worse. I don't know, does bleach ferment or does it change?
Speaker 3:with age? Does it get better with time? Is it?
Speaker 1:like cheese. Well, Ashley's looking that up. I do have a fact of the day for you.
Speaker 3:Fact of the day.
Speaker 1:Did you know that?
Speaker 2:if you.
Speaker 1:Yeah, did you know that if you live to be 84 years old, you've spent roughly 28 years sleeping?
Speaker 3:That's nuts.
Speaker 1:That's wild. How do you?
Speaker 3:even count, I guess you just average eight hours a night.
Speaker 1:Yeah, seven hours probably a night over time.
Speaker 3:That is older than me 28 years of sleep.
Speaker 1:Which 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 3:Pause for an ad break Pause for an ad break.
Speaker 1:That'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 3:Yeah, 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 1:He 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 2:Drew, hey Katie.
Speaker 1:Did you know? If you're seven feet tall, you have a one in six chance of landing in the NBA.
Speaker 2:I 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 1:So if you're seven foot, I mean, might as well still play basketball.
Speaker 3:Yeah, 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 1:happens. 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 3:oh 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 1:Jess 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 2:Also bleach, gets worse over time.
Speaker 3:Worse Like less effective. Yeah, what Losing its?
Speaker 2:effectiveness as the sodium hypochlorite compound degrades, becoming less effective for cleaning and disinfecting.
Speaker 3:All right, so here's what we're going to do. I was actually thinking about the ribonucleic acid or whatever you said.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah.
Speaker 3:Yep, that's what I was thinking.
Speaker 1:Here 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 3:Blind ranking Blind ranking.
Speaker 1:Here 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 3:oh, 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 1:Okay.
Speaker 3:He's going to miss that thing.
Speaker 1:All right, I think you're not going to put him as number six.
Speaker 3:I just did.
Speaker 1:Lord Farquaad. Lord Farquaad is the king in track. He's like two foot tall, scrappy. Oh, scrappy, scrappy.
Speaker 3:I 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 1:Okay, 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 3:Yeah, because pair him with like a six footer and you're living life, you're living dreams.
Speaker 1:All right, spider-man.
Speaker 3:Spider-Man. I've got three five three, five and one left.
Speaker 1:Three, one, three and five.
Speaker 3:One, three and five.
Speaker 1:Spider-Man.
Speaker 3:Spider-Man's at the one. Spider-man, spider-man's top. He put it there, yep, he's probably the best place.
Speaker 1:Then we got Yoda.
Speaker 3:Yoda number three.
Speaker 1:Yoda Okay Number three.
Speaker 3:Mind controlling goalie.
Speaker 1:Okay, 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 3:He might have had a blast, a handball all the time.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, captain Jack Sparrow, that's good, that's fun.
Speaker 3:I 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 2:He's definitely number two.
Speaker 3:I don't think Yoda would be good at soccer, but he would be good in goal Because he's got the mind tricks.
Speaker 1:The 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 3:No, spidey's out wide left winger, right footed Jack.
Speaker 1:Sparrow Charlie Brown.
Speaker 3:Cutting in from the flanks, spongebob and Lord Farkland Waiting at Top.
Speaker 1:Corner, I think Lord, actually SpongeBob's probably last Lord Farkland.
Speaker 3:No, Charlie Brown is 100% last.
Speaker 1:All right. Well, hey, here's what I want to talk about A very light topic.
Speaker 3:I want us to talk about Q&A nights, the dichotomy of revelation.
Speaker 2:What is a Q&A?
Speaker 1:night? 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 3:Anything you want to add to that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I mean it's— Not why. Why don't answer?
Speaker 3:yeah, 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 2:Whose idea was this, anne's?
Speaker 3:That was Anne's. Yes, shout out, anne. Good idea who is going with Trenton to Tennessee?
Speaker 2:If you would like to go to Tennessee, please email Trent at fbcorg fbctampaorg is how our emails work.
Speaker 1:Or 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 3:Yes.
Speaker 1:So you get barbecue catered? Yes, just order some barbecue.
Speaker 3:Let 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 1:Where 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 1:North 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 1:So how do we do Q&A nights?
Speaker 1:Well, 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 1:Additionally, we create a QR code that will take you directly to that Google.
Speaker 3:Form, 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 1:We're able to get through like 12 to 15 questions, probably on average.
Speaker 3:It 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 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:What are some of the questions we've been asked? Oh, geez A lot. What are some questions? Kara Participate here.
Speaker 2:I am, I'm thinking, I am participating.
Speaker 1:What are some of the questions that we get asked? So some fun questions.
Speaker 2:We 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 1:So 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 3:or evil in the world? Or should I date this non-believer if they're really cute, yeah relationship questions.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sometimes there's like unique Relationship questions yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, how did you?
Speaker 1:Sometimes there's like unique random revelation questions.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Like 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 2:That was a legitimate question.
Speaker 1:That was a question I asked like two or three years ago.
Speaker 3:Yeah. Questions like how did you guys get into ministry? What made you want to get into ministry Favorite?
Speaker 1:Bible 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 2:Assurance 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 1:Yeah, how to engage the culture? How does the Bible speak to the things going on in our culture? Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:So 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 3:Yeah, 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 1:Yeah, the apostles had questions.
Speaker 3:Right, yeah, questions are not bad Questions. Are you finding out more information?
Speaker 1:The 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 3:Yeah, 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 1:Yeah, 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 3:Yes, it's not our thoughts, it's our words from scripture.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 3:Our words aren't in scripture but you know.
Speaker 1:So 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 3:A lot of things, most things.
Speaker 1:Most 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 2:It has, but it has unfortunately.
Speaker 1:And then the third category. So die for divide over debate with other Christians.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:So 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 3:Of course, my view is always the right view on those things. Yes.
Speaker 1:Trent. 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 3:Would you say that's your truth, Trent?
Speaker 1:I 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 2:There was one, do you remember that? So that was very interesting.
Speaker 1:We 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 3:Yes, bring your friends.
Speaker 1:It'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 3:We're not going to condemn you to hell, but we'll say scripture.
Speaker 1:Yeah, 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 3:I 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 1:So 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 3:You do a good job, Kara.
Speaker 2:I 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 3:In case you're wondering, the answer to that is no.
Speaker 1:Don't do it we have in the past because it's on Google Sheets. You can like shade in the text.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you can put different colors.
Speaker 1:Sometimes 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 3:Yeah, or it's like I felt this specific thing happened to me this Tuesday last year and explain it to me.
Speaker 2:Yeah, 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 3:Yeah, or if it just didn't get asked that night, or something.
Speaker 1:And people can ask as many questions as they want and keep typing in different questions.
Speaker 3:Yeah, 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 1:Yeah.
Speaker 3:I 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 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Olivia, all right.
Speaker 1:Live, anything else.
Speaker 3:No, 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 3:Uh, 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 3:Might lean on the relationship night for a couple semesters, because that's fun.
Speaker 1:Different 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 2:It'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 3:Yeah, 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 2:But it was fun to just hear some of them.
