Question #1Since coming to Foundation we don’t worry as much about our health and what we eat. We are healthy eaters by nature but we started eating things we stopped eating for awhile now that we pray over our meals. I found some scripture and need clarification please! Question #2I heard Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth say you don’t pray to Jesus, you pray to the father, in the name of Jesus. But what about praising and thanking Jesus?Question #3What is the difference between the breastplate of righteousness (Ephesians 6:14) and the breastplate of faith (1 Thessalonians 5:8)?Question #4 Are we supposed to tithe off of net or gross or is it a heart issue? And does render unto Ceasar what is Ceasar’s and render unto God what is God’s have anything to do with it?

Question #1My husband and I are definitely not on the same faith journey. I came to Jesus in 2008 after 20 years of marriage, but he has no interest. I want to enrich my relationship with God without alienating my husband. Any suggestions?Question #2My question is knowing when the Lord is speaking to me. I have never been able to know or guess felt confident in knowing when the Holy Spirit is truly speaking to me. I have always worked full time since I graduated high school and even as a parent since having my children. The more and more I follow and learn from Foundation Church, the more I don’t want to work anymore and be a stay-at-home mom and homeschool my kids. How do I know it’s not just me being selfish and not wanting to work versus making a better decision for our kids? Every time I feel like it’s the right thing to quit, I feel the guilt sink in that it’s just me not wanting to work.

Question #1 Would you define what “works” are in James 2:14-26? Also, explain how faith and works are important together and not alone.Question #2 I am a school teacher and it has become increasingly difficult to teach because kids are so disrespectful and undisciplined. As teachers we have no options when it comes to punishing or disciplining children so teaching is like herding cats some days. I am passionate about my job but become more frustrated every year. Teachers hands are tied so it’s up to the parents and I don’t think they even see how unruly their kids are. Help!

Question #1Do you personally pledge allegiance to the US Flag? I wondered if you knew that the US Flag Code states that the flag is a living being (therefore a deity?) and if you did know, what your thoughts are Biblically and personally on it?Question #2Humans were initially created to live forever in paradise on Earth. Sin ruined that but since the intent was to live forever with no death on earth, why did God give us souls? Maybe the soul is what God was referring to when He said let’s make man in our image?Question #3Who was Cain afraid of after killing Abel when God sent him out of to the wilderness?Question #4When Jacob wrestled with God and God touched his hip to give him a limp was that given as a punishment for being so difficult?Question #5Is cryogenic freezing okay since God will raise people back to life in the end anyway? Cryogenics freezes the body so it can be brought back in the future. Is this too much like playing God or is it just a technology with no sin implications?

Question #1 I like to gamble. Christians tell me all the time that I shouldn’t do it. I don’t see anywhere in the Bible where it says it’s a sin and when I do gamble, I set a limit on how much I allow myself to play. Question #2 All my life I have battled my weight and I would say I am not the most attractive person out there. People don’t treat me the same as other people. I’m not feeling sorry for myself I just know it is true. I’ve never really been excepted or popular. I want people to like me don’t know how to make friends. What should I do?

Revisit to Question from Episode 48: Who would be an example today of the people Jesus was talking about in Matthew 7:19-23? So they had good fruit meaning they cast out demons, prophesied, and done many wonders? That’s good fruit right? So why would He cast them to hell?

Question #1 How old will we be in heaven? Does a baby that died remain a baby in heaven?Question #2 I would love your advice and thoughts on using a mohel to circumcise my son.

Question #1(Continuation from Episode 42) Are ghosts real? There are shows on TV about them, but I don’t know if they are real.Question #2 If you were given the chance to steal something, what would it be?Question #3 It’s really hard not to hate people, especially in the times we live in. How do we love people that hate us and not hate them back?Question #4Could you possibly do a podcast on your thoughts regarding the US Code, 4 USC 8: Respect for the flag. The flag represents a living country and is itself considered a living thing? Please and thank you!Question #5 Moses is considered the author of the first five books of the Bible, yet he dies in Deuteronomy. For all the people not familiar with the Bible, this is only the fourth book of the Bible. How did Moses write about his death, and then the book of Joshua with everything that took place when he was up the creek without a paddle, or in this case, up the mountain without a pulse?

Question #1In light of the problems people and companies are having and have had in the past with insurance companies sometimes not paying claims, auto, life, health, and property; should we stand on Matthew 6:34 and pay our tithes and offering to allow God to be our assurance?Give what we would give to them as a seed offering?

Question #1I have been watching your podcast and enjoy it, but I think you need to speed it up! In our family we do speed everything games, cards, etc. So, my question is can I come on your podcast and do a speed podcast with you? Maybe once a month we can do a bottom-line podcast?Signed – Mystery WomanPS – I have been going to your church for 3 years and love it!Question #2So many times I speak to people who don’t KNOW Jesus but “know of” Jesus. They believe there is a God and heaven, but don’t understand true salvation.They usually say something like, “Oh yes, I know where I am going (heaven) because I am such a good person The Hope Hotline | S01-E36 | 05-19-23with a big heart.”Can you please dive into this and explain why just being a good person isn’t getting us to heaven?Question #3I understand the Holy Spirit is our Comforter, Helper, Intermediary, etc. My question is are we supposed to talk to the Holy Spirit, are we supposed to thank Him, do we talk to Him like a person, or is He someone silent? How is our relationship with Him supposed to be? I've read and heard from other preachers; we should talk to Him and thank Him. I hope this makes sense. In that line of thought, I know we pray in the name of Jesus, but do we talk and pray to Jesus or just to God? I know they are 3 in 1 and is there a difference in who we pray to? I know the Lord's prayer says: "Our Father, who art in heaven" so it seems to me we pray to God only. Question #4It seems since I've been praying and believing for healing, I am getting attacked more and worse instead of better. I will keep believing and praying and working on my belief that it will happen. My question is: Can someone else pray for you and you get healed? Matthew 8:5-13 says, Jesus heals the soldier's servant based on the soldier's belief. This is where I am wondering if you can be healed through someone else's faith and belief. Question #5In John 5:14, what was the sin Jesus was referring to when He talked to the man He had healed?PS. I love your new hair color! You always look fantastic! I can never watch live but always look forward to the replays!

Question #1How does someone know what they're called to do in this life, especially when you are older? Do you have to hear from God, or do you know by what doors are open?Question #2Do you believe people have “love languages”, if so, what’s your love language?Question #3Wondering if the New Living Translation of the Bible is a good translation?Question #4I’m looking for a new Bible (I love the NIV Study Bible from Foundation but it’s time for a change.) I found a NKJV presented in Chronological order. Any thoughts as to whether this would be helpful to study or should I just stick with the original?Question #5What do I do when my spouse keeps referencing to when they were single?Sincerely,Frustrated and Confused

Question #1You have Pastors that you and Tom follow and listen to. Have you heard of Jack Hibbs of Calvary Chapel in Chino Hills, CA? If so, what do you think of him? We refer friend to attend his church if they live in CA and also tell them to watch Tom and Foundation Church. Question #2 Does God love the devil? If God created him and is a fallen angel does God still love him? Question #3 What was your first job? Question #4 How can I talk to my grown children about being saved, they are so-called Catholic and every time I try to speak to them about being born again and having a relationship with Jesus, they tell me to stop preaching, they don’t want to hear anything. What is the best approach? Question #5Do you think the Rapture is Pre-Tribulation or Post-Tribulation? My concern is for my daughter, that’s why I ask.

Question 1The Bible talks about faith as small as a mustard seed (super small) yet, how is it that someone can have such HUGE faith – that seems larger than containable and yet still not move the mountain?Question 2This next question is from the same person and coincides with the question that I just answered. Here it is: What is the difference between “unbelief” and “denial” when facing issues of faith?

Question #1Share your skincare routine, morning and night. What products do you use? Do you take vitamins or supplements? I just wanna look as good as you at 35!P.S. When are you going to sell your merch?Question #2I have a question about the gift of Prophesy. How do you know you have it? Also, is there a right way to give a prophetic word?Question #3Deodorant companies sell their product in varieties of 72-hour protection strength, so should I put it on only once every three days, or should I still apply it every day? Asking for a friend.Question #4How do you feel about marijuana, sugars, pharmaceutical drugs? Cleansing our pineal gland helps connect with God. Don’t believe it’s true? Do that research you have been opposed to do. Truth is strange to the educated mind of cognitive dissonance. Let Him in.

Question #1This is a 3-part question reference the gift of speaking in tongues:If you had the gift, can you lose it? And if so, How or why? In 1 Corinthians 12:29-30 I interpret it to mean that everyone doesn’t receive the gift of tongues but can have other gifts. Do you feel it is necessary for all to pray for the gift of tongues even though it might not be their gift or is it a gift given to a person by the Holy Spirit? Question #2 I recently found out my 25-year-old nephew is afraid of death and has been most of his life. I don’t have much contact with him (and never did) as he lives in NJ. Can you suggest a long-distance approach on how to plant a seed? Any passages, verses, movies, or a delicate approach? I don’t want him to be afraid and would love to see him come to know the Lord. He was raised Catholic but not a practicing one. Question #3Do you have any regrets in life or do you see them life lessons?

Question #1 If Zechariah 14:12 is referencing zombies, who in your family would last the longest in a zombie apocalypse and what would be your weapon of choice?Question #2 Please explain Matthew 16:19 is binding something on earth from something that we want or that we do not want? Is loosing referring to something that we want or do not want? Question #3I have prayed to be filled with the Holy Spirit but have not yet received my prayer language. What do I need to do?
