Curious Faith

What happens when someone who once trusted Christ begins to lose their memory—and even their ability to remember Him? And what about unborn children or those too young to fully understand the Gospel? In this deeply personal episode of Curious Faith: Questions Answered, we explore how salvation relates to memory, understanding, and the condition of the human mind. Looking to Scripture, we’ll consider the security of those who belong to Christ, the nature of saving faith, and the character of a God who is both just and deeply compassionate. This conversation is meant to bring clarity—and comfort—to those carrying these questions in their hearts.Have a question or comment you’d like us to address in a future episode?

What does it really mean to be a “lukewarm” Christian—and how do you avoid becoming one? In this episode of Curious Faith: Questions Answered, we look at Jesus’ warning in Revelation 3 and unpack what lukewarm faith actually looks like. Is it apathy, self-sufficiency, or something more subtle? We’ll explore how spiritual drift happens, the difference between struggling and settling, and how to cultivate a faith that is alive, growing, and fully engaged with Christ.Have a question or comment you’d like us to address in a future episode?

Romans 9 raises one of the most difficult questions in Scripture: does God choose some people for salvation—and others for judgment? In this episode of Curious Faith: Questions Answered, we walk through Romans 9:21–29 and explore what Paul means by “vessels of mercy” and “vessels of wrath.” How do we understand God’s sovereignty without misrepresenting His character? And how do we hold together divine justice and human responsibility? This episode aims to bring clarity to a challenging passage while keeping our focus on the goodness, justice, and mercy of God.Have a question or comment you’d like us to address in a future episode?

In John 20:22–23, Jesus tells His disciples, “If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them.” But doesn’t Scripture teach that only God can forgive sins? In this episode of Curious Faith: Questions Answered, we explore what Jesus actually meant in this surprising passage. We’ll look at the context of Christ’s commission to His disciples, how the original language clarifies the meaning, and why the church has the authority to declare forgiveness through the Gospel—not create it. This episode helps us understand the difference between divine forgiveness and the church’s responsibility to proclaim it.

If the New Testament book of Jude quotes the Book of Enoch, why isn’t Enoch included in the Bible? In this episode of Curious Faith: Questions Answered, we explore how the biblical canon was recognized, why quoting a source does not make it Scripture, and how ancient Jewish and Christian communities evaluated religious writings. We’ll also look at what scholars mean by “pseudepigrapha” and why the Book of Enoch—though historically interesting—was never considered authoritative by the Hebrew Scriptures recognized in the time of Jesus.

If someone professes faith in Christ but openly lives in a way Scripture calls sin, what does that say about their relationship with God? In this episode of Curious Faith: Questions Answered, we tackle a difficult but important question about salvation, repentance, and the transforming power of the Gospel. Rather than focusing on one particular sin, we step back and ask a deeper question: How does the Bible describe a believer’s relationship to sin? Looking at passages like 2 Corinthians 5, Ezekiel 36, and 1 Corinthians 6, we explore the difference between struggling with sin and settling into it—and what genuine faith in Christ produces in a person’s life.

James 1:2 tells us to “count it all joy” when we face trials — but what does that really mean? Is biblical joy a deep confidence in God’s work, or does it sometimes become a spiritual mask we wear to avoid admitting pain? In this episode of Curious Faith: Questions Answered, we explore the difference between genuine, gospel-rooted joy and pretending everything is okay. We’ll look at how sorrow and joy can coexist — and why real faith doesn’t require emotional denial.

Is it possible to take wise precautions and still fully trust God — or do those compete with each other? In this episode of the Curious Faith podcast, we explore the difference between prudence and fear, human responsibility and divine sovereignty. Does trusting God mean rejecting practical protection, or does God often work through those very means? We’ll look at what Scripture says about wisdom, preparation, and where our ultimate confidence should rest.

Did the cross remove all judgment — or is there still something ahead for believers? In this episode, we unpack what it means that Christ bore our punishment and what Scripture teaches about the judgment seat of Christ. Clear answers. Gospel assurance. No fear-driven confusion.

Why build a podcast entirely around questions? In this first episode of Curious Faith: Questions Answered, we unpack the heart behind the show — why questions are not threats to faith but invitations to deeper understanding. We’ll talk about the goal of this podcast, the role of the Curious Companion, where these questions have come from in the past, and how you can help shape future episodes. If you’ve ever wrestled with something you were afraid to ask out loud, this podcast is for you.
