Dr. Paulson joins Scripture First to talk about a little pirate exorcist, salty and spicy Christians, and how it&apos;s better for people to cut off appendages than to go to hell. Dr. Paulson explains how Jesus is teaching all of us to be preachers, where sin comes from, and what it means to be the salt of the earth. Here are the questions Adam, Kiri and Mason ask:<ul><li>Why do the disciples try to stop the person from exorcizing demons?</li><li>What causes sin?</li><li>How can you be the salt of the earth?</li></ul>Interested in sponsoring an episode of Scripture First?

Jesus + Hot Button Topics | Mark 10:2-16 with Dr. Chris Croghan

Three millennials sit down with Lutheran theologians to understand how Scripture is working in our lives. God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, sin, faith, forgiveness, Luther, and more are on the table as Mason Van Essen, Kiri Haugen, and Adam Guthmiller discuss each week's upcoming lectionary Bible passage with Luther House of Study's theologians to hear the context in and around Scripture before it's preached in church.
