What If You Don’t Feel Saved? Plus More Q&A

from I Don't Have Enough FAITH to Be an ATHEIST · host Dr. Frank Turek

Are strong emotional experiences required for salvation? Can you be a true follower of Jesus if you don’t "feel" saved? Many Christians wrestle with the gap between what they believe and what they experience during worship or Bible study time . But does the saving grace of Jesus come from a feeling or a decision?This week, Frank unpacks the danger of grounding your faith solely on feelings. He also tackles other listener questions related to politics, culture, and from a liberal listener on parenting in a digital age. Questions addressed include:Is a lack of emotion during worship a sign of a weak faith?What are the 3 essential aspects of human psychology?How is marriage in this life an illustration of our ultimate union with Christ?What's the difference between "belief that" and "belief in"?Did Jesus tell us to stay out of politics?Are only atheists qualified to run the government?Why didn't God stop Satan?How can parents effectively shield their children from harmful content on social media?What does dangerous online content teach us about human nature?Do you have a question for Frank that you'd like him to address in a future episode?
