June 10- AER- thank you all for answering my question on Hebrews. Follow up question for Blake (but all can chime in) - you encouraged us to keep praying for those in our life who have walked away from faith. Any other practical tips. I honestly find it much Easier talking to those who don’t know Jesus at all than trying to encourage my family who knew god and were hurt by the church and decided to leave it all Behind. Would love any tips or insights you might have

Mar 4- The story in the Old Testament of Jacob wrestling with God doesn’t make any sense to me. I don’t know why he was physically wrestling with God and I don’t know why God would hurt him by dislocating his hip socket or whatever. And why did Jacob prevail instead of God in the first place? I feel like we can justify it as we justify anything, but it is a bizarre incident by any measurement.

Mar 7- Why do you think it says that God created the heavens and the Earth? Did God not already have heaven? And why did God need the Earth? Maybe to escape to? Maybe to have some darkness? But then he thought it was too much darkness and made half of the time light but he left some darkness? Why did he leave darkness if he is light? Even if this is metaphorical, which I don’t believe it was,what does it mean?
