God’s goodness, generosity, and justice, and 3.) his gracious invitation for us participate in the meaningful work of what God’s is doing here and now.

David and Becky Crees asked Pastor Craig the following question, “Growing up in the church, one of the foundations of our belief is when Jesus says, ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.’ “As Christians, this is encouraging and belief affirming. But what about those tho never heard the name of Jesus Christ?” “How can we reconcile God’s unconditional love with conditional salvation?” This leads into a discussion about big rational thoughts about God, Jesus Christ's relationship will ALL religions, the Four Gospels, John 13-17, and John 14:6 specifically.

Laurel and Christian asked, "Did Adam and Eve understand the concept of evil prior to eating the fruit? Otherwise, how would they even understand the gravity of sin/all the consequences that came afterward? To us, it seemed a little puzzling that sin could be such a severe punishment if they didn’t fully understand that yet. This brought to question as to whether humanity truly had a fair choice/chance prior to the introduction of sin? How can someone make a moral/immoral decision without fully understanding what morality is, especially because God is the one who allowed Satan to enter the garden of Eden in the first place? " Pastor Craig talks about the story of Adam and Eve, the history of the doctrine behind this question, his own personal faith journey, and his return to a belief he once let go.
