I have heard so many theories about the beginning of the world and it is very confusing. For someone heading into highschool, it would be really hard to ground yourself if you have so many ideas thrown at you all with their own agendas and scripts. I know that we are to believe in faith, but it would be nice to hear some of the evidence, compatibility, and credibility of each one. As well as some encouragement for believers struggling with their faith in these areas. Sometimes stubborn faith can be a little different than faith because it can turn people away if you do not have an explanation for why you personally believe. Like Peter says, always have an answer ready for anyone who asks of the hope inside you. (Paraphrased) I think that this podcast would hit home for many young people searching for answers! Please consider doing an episode on this subject!

With the renewed Israeli/Palestinian conflict, how should Christians biblically view modern day Israel?

Brothers, I appreciated the thoughts of corporate prayers. There was comment made about proper prayer language such as not using I, me, etc. There was mention that the prayers should be reverent, I agree. There was nothing mentioned about using Thee and Thou rather than you or your. To me there’s much more reverence in the use of the King James language. Just my thoughts, all the years of my life we were exhorted in this way. We don’t hear that mentioned anymore. I’m not wanting to be critical just encouragement. Thanks!!

It seems like this can be an awkward topic to discuss and it is something we don't talk about as church members amongst each other.  As a young Christan that has recently graduated from college and entered the work force, I have discovered that this is a topic that I do not know much about.

Thank you for what you've shared so far on the topic of Bible Translation. It is so important to know the history of how we have received what we are blessed to have available to us today. Awe inspiring and humbling. Let's pray for translators continuing this work in many remote languages today.

Appreciate the ATT discussion on Grace.  It has helped me begin to think bigger than the simple (somewhat narrow) view I normally have.  Blessings!

I recently saw a YouTube video with a pastor answering some questions. I'm not sure the rules on posting links to Non-AC videos here, but for reference, the video name is:  "Cliffe Knechtle - Answering Questions Others Christians Won't | EP. 38."

I would love to see some podcasts with this sort of format. I feel like we have some brothers: Elders, Ministers, Sunday School teachers that could do a great job with questions like this. It could be easy to send out a Google Form with a future AC Connection email that people could use to submit questions about theology, application, or even why we do things as a church. I think a format with some younger brothers or sisters asking these questions to some older brothers with short 5-6 minute answers could be an edifying podcast, that if done in video form could even be used in Sunday School, or Bible Study applications.
