On today’s episode, Bob and Shawn will be answering questions from our listeners. We will hear them unpack the expression, “a thorn in the flesh” (2 Cor 12:7). and “a cross to bear” (Matt 16:14-28). They will discuss the difference between these two expressions according to the context. The guys will also be discussing unity within the church in regards to doctrine. How do we determine essential doctrine and non-essential? These and many more issues will be addressed on the show today.
