"God wants you to prosper." Most of you have probably heard a preacher say that over the years, but recently the “prosperity gospel” has become a favorite punching bag for critics of pentecostal and charismatic ministers. In this episode, Ian pulls from the work of "prosperity preacher" Kenneth Hagin and "prosperity critic" John MacArthur in an effort to find a balanced approach to finances and divine provision.

What does it mean to have "good" sex? Most people would relate that to the intensity and pleasure of the experience, but the Biblical writers have something else in mind. In this special Valentine's Day episode, Ian takes a deep into a passage from 1 Thessalonians in which the Apostle Paul instructs men to "control their vessel." This counter-cultural sexual ethic is not an arbitrary command; it is derived from the Bible's vision of how the universe really works.
