THE THESIS: Respectful debate is a sign of a healthy community. Come, let us reason together.
THE SCRIPTURE & SCRIPTURAL RESOURCES:
“5 Better is open rebuke
than hidden love.
6 Wounds from a friend can be trusted,
but an enemy multiplies kisses.”
17 As iron sharpens iron,
so one person sharpens another.
18 The one who guards a fig tree will eat its fruit,
and whoever protects their master will be honored.
19 As water reflects the face,
so one’s life reflects the heart.[a]
20 Death and Destruction[b] are never satisfied,
and neither are human eyes.
21 The crucible for silver and the furnace for gold,
but people are tested by their praise.
22 Though you grind a fool in a mortar,
grinding them like grain with a pestle,
you will not remove their folly from them.

This was a particularly excellent episode. I really appreciate the way Todd can humbly and lovingly share what God says in His life instruction manual (the Bible), and not water down the truth to make it more palatable.
