Today's discussion continues our segment on holiness, specifically referencing the book: "Free to be Holy" by Matt Lozano. It's a very informative conversation, with some key highlights:

• Holiness is a reality that is likely misunderstood, even by those who go to church regularly
• If you died tonight, why should God let you into heaven?
  • What the church teaches about this
  • How you don't actually earn salvation
• What prevents people from thinking about holiness

Welcome to a new series, this time on the subject of suffering and the Christian response to it. It's an interesting discussion covering a topic many of us have probably thought about. A few key takeaways:

• How some use the problem of evil to argue against Christianity
• This argument is not a logical problem for Christianity but rather a psychological one
• How we need answers that reach the heart of the sufferers because it's an emotional and spiritual challenge.

Enjoy!
