Welcome to Season 2 of Lightning Rounds! In our first episode of this season, the duo Andrew and Zach are joined by one of their favorite guest hosts Joel Ronzheimer! They start off the conversation with a segment called: "Wait... What?!", joking on hilarious oxymorons. And the crew continues the Question & Response time with these 3 questions sent in from listeners :
- "If we want to walk like Jesus, we are called to forgive and walk in love; but if the person we choose to forgive continues to hurt us, when is it okay to completely “walk away” from that relationship?"
- "How do you balance those two ideas of being welcoming to the unsaved without being influenced in a bad way by them? And also how do you stand your ground on what you believe is right and true without sounding dogmatic and condemning?"
- "What makes porn such a problem? What are some ways to battle an addiction to it?"
