Mailbag Friday: Did I Ruin My Children? + Refusing Chemo + Guardian Angels

from Wretched Radio with Todd Friel · host Fortis Institute

It’s Mailbag Friday! You’ve got questions, we’ve got answers. Segment 1 • James asks for advice on repairing his relationships with his children. • Anonymous wonders if casual swearing reveals a deeper heart issue — or even a lack of desire to honor Christ. Segment 2 • Jeff asks: “When is it finally appropriate to draw hard boundaries with unbelievers?” • Anonymous wrestles with a difficult medical question: Is refusing chemotherapy an act of faith… or presumption? • Glen asks how Christians can tell whether a Bible verse applies directly to believers today without ripping it out of context. Segment 3 • Laramie admits that the thought of living forever sometimes feels overwhelming — is that fear normal for Christians? • Jonathan asks how pastors should faithfully preach through massive Old Testament books without losing their congregation. • Would spending an entire year preaching through Psalms or Isaiah actually be wise? Segment 4 • Megan asks whether Christians really have guardian angels — or if that idea comes more from tradition than Scripture. • Jess wonders if dreams that seem prophetic are truly from God or something else entirely. • Jeff questions whether believers calling each other “queen,” “king,” and “prince” reflects Christian identity… or worldly thinking. • Anonymous asks why marriage is often emphasized more than full-time ministry when both are high callings. • Alan wrestles with a sobering question during Pride Month: Is pride the root beneath every other sin? ___ Thanks for listening!
