From the Show

In Luke 13, you see people say, “if God allowed this tragedy to happen to them, they must be pretty bad.” But Jesus doesn’t play this game. This should instead remind of the frailty of life. In so far as people are suffering, we need to mobilize and help those in need.

–Adriel Sanchez

Are Natural Disasters Like Hurricane Ian a Judgment from God?

Questions in this Episode

  1. Should I join a church that requires me to be baptized a second time?
  2. Is the NIV translation of the Bible problematic?
  3. I remember growing up and hearing people say things like earthquakes, tornados, or hurricanes are God’s judgement on that place or nation. And I don’t think that’s right, but I’m wondering, how do you answer folks who do say those kinds of things after tragedies like Hurricane Ian happen?
  4. Is it necessary to be a member of a church?
  5. Can I make anointing oil as gifts?
  6. Is closed communion a biblical practice?
