Life is full of questions but where can you find someone to give you a straight and honest answer? The answer to that question is The Hope Hotline!
Hope will not only give you a straightforward response to your question, but it will come from a Biblical perspective to ensure that it is correct. You may not always agree but that's okay because we hope it will challenge you to search it out in God's Word for yourself.
There's one thing that we can promise you during the hour show and that is that you won't be bored!

Questions: What is the significance of giving the ages of the different people in the Bible and how long they lived?
Question #1
I have a lot of family members who don’t agree with me politically, and with Thanksgiving coming up and everything going on politically, I’m wondering how to handle the situation. I’m concerned that some family members might take shots at my views or make snide comments during the visit. How can I deal with that in a way that keeps the peace but also stays true to myself?
Question #2
What is your favorite thing about Thanksgiving and what is your favorite thing to eat that day?
Question #3
The Thanksgiving Parade seems to have gotten more 'woke' in recent years. With that in mind, do you think it's still appropriate for small
children to watch it, or should we be more selective about what they’re exposed to?
Question 1
I have family who go to a church that does not allow instruments to be played while they worship. They believe in the Bible, but their worship has no guitars, drums, or piano. I don’t understand why. Can you explain this to me?
Question 2
Ok I have read various things in the Bible & I’m curious, thoughts on dating someone who’s divorced. Also, thoughts of dating someone who is catholic but doesn’t believe in praying to Mary or other saints. I have my thoughts but wanted yours!
Question #1 I know we are about to do baptism at the church this month. I have a couple questions. Can children be baptized? The Bible does not provide a clear answer, but infant baptism is practiced by some Christian traditions, while others advocate for believer’s baptism at an older age.
Question #2 Is re-baptism biblical? The Bible does not explicitly address re-baptism, but it emphasizes the importance of believer’s baptism (e.g., Matthew 28:19, Acts 2:38).
Question 1: Do you have a recommendation of study guides/workbooks to help?
Question 2: Does the Bible mention toothbrushes or dental hygiene practices? According to Job 19:17, Job’s breath was offensive to his wife, suggesting they experienced bad breath issues. However, there is no explicit mention of toothbrushes or regular dental care.
Question #1 Is Jesus presented as God in the Bible?
Questipn #2 - Is the Bible reliable?
Question #1 Why does God allow suffering and evil?
Question #2 Does life have a purpose?
Question #1
A lot of us were in the wrong path and God touched our hearts and convicted us to turn to Him. Why can't God then touch Satan's heart and convict him when the Bible says "all things are possible with God?"
Acts 12 Bible Study
Question 1. Last week you mentioned we wouldn’t be married in heaven. What do you think the husband/wife relationships will look like in heaven? Brother and sisters in Christ?!!?
Question #1
The discussion mentioned 12 seats on one side for the 12 disciples/apostles. Is Judas in one of those seats or did/does he get replaced by someone like Paul?
Question #2
With what just happened to President Trump (assassination attempt), is there any chance that he could be the Antichrist?
Question #1
If God separated the lower waters from the upper’s waters with a dome, does that mean space is really water?
Question #1 Is telling your kids about Santa Claus lying to your kids? Did your kids believe in Santa?
Question #2 After the tribulation what will heaven be like for us that get to go and what will hell be like for people who don’t get to go to heaven?
Question #1 I have people in my life who get saved and stay saved for a while and when things get really good for them they go right back to their old ways? It is so frustrating to watch. How do you deal with that?
Question #2 You say you aren’t a quitter and I admire that but I am a quitter. Not all the time but I do quit. When it comes to failures and setbacks how do you overcome them and not give up?
Question #3 Rich Young Ruler vs. Zacchaeus the Tax Collector - Spot the difference
Question #1 Acts 2:17 says, “in the last days God says I will pour out my spirit on all people”. Can you explain “all people?” Does that mean all people have the Holy Spirit?
Question #2 Hope how old do you feel?
Question:
Will a believer's personal prayer for a saved or unsaved loved one's blood, to be cleansed from covid shots, be answered, or does that person need to be regretful and repentant themselves to receive healing?
Question:
Does Jesus and people in heaven, eat, rest, sleep?
Question:
So, I love my mother-in-law. She’s a woman who loves the Lord and is very kind and generous towards others. When I first met her and started to get to know her while my husband and I were courting she was so fun and amazing to be around. When we got married something changed. She would often come visit us and it was almost like she wanted to take over. She would cook dinner and serve my husband and I felt like I couldn’t really step into my role as a wife when she was around. I did share with my husband a bit, but I don’t think he really understands. We have been married for 4 years now and although she’s gotten better, she still comes to visit and recently she said my husband is the baby and he’s the spoiled one. It wasn’t in front of him, but she said it to me and another one of my friends who was present. It was embarrassing to me. He’s the youngest and I’d also like to note she doesn’t do this with her other sons. She likes to make him certain foods and says they are “his foods” and “his favorites” idk why this just bothers me. I love her but I don’t like her. Please am I crazy? I don’t know what to do anymore. How do I even say anything to her? She’s overall a nice lady but this one thing. I just wish she would back off and wasn’t like this. I only make an effort with her because she’s my husband's mother.
Topics: Solar Eclipse 2024 and Parasite Cleanse Update.
Question 1. What's your opinion on CBD Concentrate?
Question 2. My husband recently mentioned to me that it isn’t his job to make me happy. Isn’t it his job as a husband to make me happy? He states it’s in the Bible.
Question: I grew up being taught that Adam and Eve were the first humans made. However, in Genesis 1:26-28 it talks about how God created man in his own image and to multiply. This all takes place before Adam and Eve were created in Genesis 2:7-21. I even looked in the Perry Stone Bible and the notes state it's before Adam and Eve. I also recently heard this from a few people that I find to know the bible better than me. So, my question is, what do you think of this and do you have any additional information?
My question is about home school... I've never considered home schooling until recently. My husband is worried about what our kids will be exposed to at public school. What are your thoughts?
I really want to join the HUB groups, but evening classes are tough for my work schedule. I started thinking about starting my own group, do you think that's a good idea? How do I know if I am ready to start a home/HUB group?
Question #1
Can you discuss the difference between the 4 types of prayer mentioned in 1 Timothy 2:1 –supplications, prayers, intercession, and thanksgiving?
Question #2
I always pray but nothing is changing, why?
Question #1
Can you explain Dispensationalism? I have been seeing more and more definitions of it as it pertains to religion.
Question #2
I loved the 4 Essentials Message/Conversation. My husband is not saved, I found Jesus 15 years ago after 20years of marriage. He is accepting of my faith and going to church and taking the time I want to take for my reading of the Word and my prayer time, and worship, but he has no interest in learning more about God.His one big fear that he has shared is that I will take “this Jesus thing” to the extreme.I’m trying to grow in my faith without distancing myself from him. Any ideas?
Special Guest Kristi Delgado will be on the podcast today sharing her testimony of miracles and faith.
Question #1 I was wondering does the devil give you “dreams”? Or is it more like a false imagination or temptation? How do you know if a dream is from your flesh or not? And how can you combat these dreams so that you don’t wake with a “thrown off spirit”?Question #2When you are in heaven, can you check in or look down on your children and grandchildren or can you not see how their life is progressing or pray for them?Question #3John answered and said to them all, “As for me, I baptize you with water; but One is coming who is mightier than I, and I am not fit to untie the thong of His sandals; He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. Luke 3:16 NASB What does fire mean in this context? I looked up the Greek word, means “to fire” and the word and means “and” or “also”. I always thought being baptized with the Holy Spirit meant baptism with fire, but this seems to say we will be baptized with both.
October 4 Conspiracy Phone Chat
Question #1
I don’t know much about the Muslim religion, but it seems angry and violent towards people who do not believe the same way. Why does the Muslim religion hate people who aren’t Muslim so much?
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 #1I have a friend that I shared something verypersonal with and later I found out that theyshared the secret with someone. I am so angryand mad at this person but I haven’t gotten thenerve to confront them. I am not aconfrontational person at all. I would rather justdrop them as a friend but I am afraid I won’t beable to forgive them if I don’t say anything tothem. Can I just walk away without sayinganything to them?Question #2I would love to have a friend group like youhave. Not all of your friends fit a stereotype buteverybody loves each other and you have somuch fun from the outside looking in. I havefriends and I enjoy them but we don’t laugh orhave fun like you do with the people you hangout with. How do I make that happen? I wantthat!Question #3We were recently told by catholic friends thatthey believe that Mary the mother of Jesus didnot die but was “assumed” and taken to heaen. Ihave never heard this.Question #4What types of Bible study do you recommendfor new Christians?
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 #1 My husband and I are a saved 27- and 29-yearold, married for two years, and have two young babies together. This past year, my husband has fallen alarmingly away from the Lord and it shows in all aspects of his life. Am I warranted Biblically to divorce him or is this something God intends for me to endure.Question #2 Forgiving yourself? Scripture talks about forgiving others in Matthew 6:14, Matthew 18:21, Luke 6:37, Colossians 3:13, and Ephesians 4:32.
Special guest from We The People Health & Wellness Center! https://www.wtphealthcare.com/We The People Health & Wellness Center959 E. Venice Ave, Venice FL 34385941-265-1776Questions about Membership?membership@wtphealthcare.com
Question #11 Corinthians 5:5 – Summary please.Question #2Where do demonsQuestion #3Is joy a characteristic of being filled with the Spirit?
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 #3Humans 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 #4Who was Cain afraid of after killing Abel when God sent him out of to the wilderness?Question #5When 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 #6Is 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?
Question #1 There are so many pictures out there showing flying saucers or just weird objects in the sky. What does the Bible say about aliens if anything?Question #2 What’s something that will always be in fashion, no matter how much time passes?Question #3If someone warns someone not to do something and they do it anyway; do you think telling them “I told you so” comes from a place of pride when the outcome is exactly what they predicted?
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? If they did it using Jesus name didn’t they know who Jesus was and could you please explain more of Matthew 7:11-12?
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. Our family is not Jewish but I love the idea of a Bris; which traditionally consists of the circumcision, naming ceremony, and a festive meal to follow.Question #3 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? If they did it using Jesus name didn’t they know who Jesus was and could you please explain more of Matthew 7:11-12?
Question #1 Every relationship I have or have ever been in from friendship to romantic, I tend to become very jealous. Because of that these relationships always end. What can I do? I don’t even know where to start.Question #2 My life is super stressful. Between my job which is high stress, I am a parent and am concerned for them with everything going on in and around the world. I know that the Bible says that we shouldn’t be anxious, but I am finding it hard not to be.
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?
Hope Hotline #41 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 #2Should we care about what people think and say about us?Question #3What are a couple of your favorite pictures you took or received this week?
Question #1What is the definition of drunkard and glutton? Christians make excuses and justify drinking alcohol in moderation and overeating. With these two in mind, why not allow fornication, idolaters, homosexuality, thievery, etc. in moderation?Question #2 How should someone deal with failures?"Would you Rather" MERCH! https://store.foundationchurchfl.com/Send questions to: askhope@hopehotline.comSubscribe to my podcast: https://rss.com/podcasts/thehopehotline/FOLLOW ME:Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/thhWebsite: https://hopehotline.comhttps://www.instagram.com/the.hope.hotline/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100088757500434

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 #1
Share 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 #2
I 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?

Deodorant 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 #4
How 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 #1Continuation: So many Christians continue to drink alcohol and seem to justify it by scripture that talks about wine. They always say “drunkenness” is sin but drinking in moderation is okay. Can you please discuss this topic and explain why Christians shouldn’t partake in alcoholic beverages?Question #2I was hoping you would share your thoughts on prayer structure. Matthew 6:9-13 give us instruction on how to pray. I listened to a teaching that went further and broke it down into 6 segments:Always pray to the Father – Glorify God – Prayers should be Kingdom minded (eyes for eternity) - Pray for your personal needs – Pray for forgiveness for you and for others – Pray for protection from spiritual warfareHow important is prayer structure? Do you have a different/insight on how to pray?Question #3Why did your parents name you Hope?
Question #1When people get insurance money and don’t use it for repairs but say they want to keep it because they have other needs, while their house still has damages from storms, isn’t this like stealing without using the funds for the intent the claim was paid? Yet these people can preach and tell other people how to live their lives and they should go to a good church.Question #2We want to get married, but we don’t want the government to be a part of it. Does it still count if we get married and then never turn in our licenses? Will we still be married in the eyes of God?Question #3So many Christians continue to drink alcohol and seem to justify it by scripture that talks about wine. They always say “drunkenness” is sin but drinking in moderation is okay. Can you please discuss this topic and explain why Christians shouldn’t partake in alcoholic beverages?

Let’s sit and think for a minute.
Question #1 Do dream mean anything?Can you explain dreams/nightmares? And is there anything in the Bible that reference nightmares.Questions #2 Would you break the law to save a loved one?Question #3People always say, “God won’t give us more than we can handle.”If God won’t give us more than we can handle why does scripture say to bear one another’s burdens in Galatians 6:2?what is handling it when you see Christians suffering through illness and abuse.
Question #1How can we get saved by just saying “the sinners prayer” when scripture specifically tells us to confess Romans 10:9-10 to get saved? Also, why close our eyes, etc. when scripture says to confess before men (Matt. 10:32)? You did have people raise their hands openly and go up for prayer recently. That is scriptural from what I have studied. Thank you for clarifying this.Question #2 Eschatologically speaking, what, if any, is the distinguishable difference between the actual seed of Abraham and those of us who believe? Question #3I have a couple of questions about people who claim to be Christians and go to church on a regular basis. With all the dating apps out there one person goes on and pays money on a regular basis and has even been scammed when they got their banking information and kept taking money out and sending overseas.They say they want someone and especially an Asian woman whom he has never met other than what is in the brochures that look like hookers.Even under the roof of Christians they will go on these websites and the supposedly Christian home says it’s okay.To me they can preach they are God fearing Christians while promoting sin?
Question #1What does it mean to be still but also walk in faith? Be still and know that I am God and faith takes action?Question #2Is it okay to watch shows that solve crimes like murder and sexual assault like Forensic Files, First 48, or Dateline? Question #3I have tried and tried to understand this but am so confused. It has to do with circumcision. I am reading Paul’s books, and it is talked about a lot.

Question #1Are we supposed to claim our tips for taxes?Question #2What to do when your teenage son doesn’t desire a relationship with God. Wants to do the opposite of what we’re telling him? He’s 16. He doesn’t seem to understand God’s love. We’ve tried everything. We stand in prayer together, but this is getting old fast. He’s dealt with so much that we say no Harry Potter, Pokémon, some video games and shows, to now saying no to some book choices. He knows what’s right from wrong but doesn’t care. We did not raise him this way. We’ve disciplined him, love him, in church every week minus a few days. We have 3 other kids who are also watching him act this way.Question #3Where is the coolest place you have traveled to? Would you go back?Question #4I have a question for you to actually ask your guest. My husband and I watch Foundation Church services every week. I have heard Tom say to “pray the spirit”. I believe that is how it’s stated. And I don’t understand what is meant by that. Could he please clarify.Question #5Here’s one for Tom – why or why should we not believe in the Bob Jones Super Bowl prophecy of revival in America? I do believe revival is coming, but why include the wokity wokest of events being included as a dependency in God’s message? Seems to sour it for me. I also don’t know anything about Bob Jones to base anything on. My false prophet radar is up but I do want revival now.
Question #1
I found some of our Catholic rosaries and Mary statue given as family gifts for my kids first communions. One time I thought they were sentimental keepsakes. Now I wonder if I should toss them. I have been trying to get rid of things I have purchased as art or souvenirs (Egypt, Native American) that may represent the occult. Stinks to throw away memories or good family trips and special occasions but I do want to honor God and NOT honor the enemy.
Question #2
So, if I am divorced not from adultery or abandonment does porn addiction or unnecessary business travel to be continuously away from home count? If I divorced not in the will of God can I never re-marry now? Or is there a path for me to repent and then be eligible in God’s eyes to eventually date and marry? I’m 16 years divorced and now am living as a Christian.
Question #3
What’s your favorite flavor ice cream?
Question #4
I am struggling with the fact that my parents and siblings are not saved. I am Cambodian and I was raised Buddhist, but it never felt right to me. I met my husband at 17, got pregnant at 18 in college and saved at 24 then got married right away. My husband finally found Jesus right before attending Foundation Church. We couldn’t grow in our faith because we were never united in a church, but we are now in Foundation Church. How can we be saved as a family at church? Is that something you will do at some point for folks like us? Please help guide us on our next steps?
Question #5
Age difference. How far it too far?
Question #6
Just wanted to know what the Bible says about cremation and maybe your views about it.
Question #1
When I’m praying in tongues, I have a hard time not getting distracted! My mind wonders everywhere. Should I be thinking about what I’m praying about or not thinking about anything?
Question #2
I have a family member who is gay. We have a hard relationship as we obviously don’t see eye to eye on Biblical values. How do you overcome a relationship like this without feeling like you are pushing Jesus and the Bible onto them yet not being accommodating to just keep the peace? Ignore their values and go on or continue to try to get them to believe?
Question #3
Getting a boob job....sin or not a sin? Sincerely all the previous breastfeeding mamas.
Question #4
This is a bit of a strange question. Ever since my son’s freak accident and death, 30 plus years ago, I can’t remember any more dreams; feel like I have a mental block. I had lost faith in God, but am watching your husband’s service every Sunday. I still feel like I can’t quite connect. Am I still angry at God or why am I struggling. I do read the Bible every day.
Question #1
Please explain 1 Corinthians 14:34-35, where it says that women are to keep silent in the churches and in verse 35 it says it is a shame for women to speak in the church. How does this line up with all the women of God who are anointed and preach God’s Word?
Question #2
What does the Bible say about taking medication? I have a medical marijuana card that I use for pain relief from a back injury. What is the difference between Rx pain medication (Vicodin, Percocet, etc.) and medical marijuana? I have heard Pastor Tom talk about marijuana from the pulpit, but never about other pain medication. Isn’t it better to use something more natural for pain relief as opposed to something that is habit-forming and that your body builds up a tolerance to?
Question #3
Is there a time when Jesus chooses not to heal or maybe it is not the right time to heal? I recently saw an interview between two Christian men, one born with no arms and legs. The second man asked him if he questioned healing because he was born this way. They both agreed that there are times when God does not choose to heal. Talk about those in situations like this or in any situation where they are sick or suffering.

Question #6
Please explain 1 Corinthians 14:34-35, where it says that women are to keep silent in the churches and in verse 35 it says it is a shame for women to speak in the church. How does this line up with all the women of God who are anointed and preach God’s Word?

Question #5
We are taught that Adam and Eve were created in the image and likeness of God. Does this fact preclude then that they automatically possessed eternal life? Or is eternal life a subsequent gift needed to be received by faith?

I am considering volunteering to be on a book committee to screen indoctrinating books and them out of our schools. It will upset me to know kids are getting influenced by the enemy, but I’m willing to go through that to help kids. I’m willing as long as it’s in alignment with God and I ask Him to protect me. Does this sound OK?
Question #3

Is it Biblical to say God opens and closes doors?
Question #3
Why is the Bible “dry” when I read it?
Question #4
I read the healing scriptures and I command my body to rid itself of sickness and disease daily in Jesus’ name. Please tell me if we believe we are healed and have faith to move mountains, how is it after I read and pray, I reach for my pain cream, my supplements for pain, and even visit my doctor on occasion for that pain shot. Is that such a lack of faith that my healing will never manifested?
Question #5
Is divorce allowed in case of physical abuse? If not, what to do if the wife physically abuses her husband or husband physically abuses his wife?
Question #1
The Bible says in Romans 6:23 that “eternal life” is a gift from God and Romans 6:23 that the wage of sin is death but the free gift of God is eternal life. My question is why do sinners also receive “eternal life” (in hell) if eternal life is considered a gift from God? This is in reference to the “Annihilation theory”.

Question #2
Can you be filled with the Holy Spirit and also unclean spirits?
Question #3
Does Tom realize how frequently he uses the 666 hand signals during his sermons? It’s a lot and as much as I’ve grown to trust him, it honestly freaks me out a little.
Question #1
Can you discuss the ways to speak to God? Does it always have to be through prayer and closed out in the name of Jesus? Can you just talk to him? Does it need to be out loud or can you speak to him silently?
Question #2
I have been watching, learning, and studying since I found Foundation Church during the pandemic. This is so different from the way I was raised as a 7th Day Adventist. My grandfather was a minister. I fell away from the church in my high school years. I’ve always believed, I just felt it was not always right what they taught. I felt called to Foundation Church even though I don’t live in Florida. I watch podcasts and Sunday Church. I wanted to find a church like Foundation in my area. After some research I found one similar and have started attending. I have not yet received the ability to speak in tongues, but I believe it will come. My mother who was raised 7th Day Adventist says that it is of the devil to speak in tongues because that is what they are taught. How can I explain or help her to understand speaking in tongues is not of the Devil?
Question #3
I sing in a 70’s and 80’s classic rock band. I am torn as to whether I should quit it or not? I am not sure who that is viewed by our God. I do make money in the band, and I do tithe off of that money as well as my full-time day job. How can I know if I should quit? I have asked God to lead me to that decision, but nothing has transpired for me yet.

Why was Rehab blessed even though she lied?
Question #3
The area that I live in New York we have to “church hop” to find a church full of the fire and sound doctrine. I tithe to the River where we get fed. The church I attend nearby has closed for several reasons and shows videos. Should I attend a church with pansy Christians that love Jesus or stay home. Or just carry the fire and irritate everyone which is what I feel I do.
Question #4
I am struggling with my son. He has the coolest room an 8-year-old can ever dream of but at bedtime is the worst time of day for my husband and I. He has to take melatonin every night and he won’t sleep in his own room. I nursed him until he was 2 years old, I am sure that’s where the problem began. To keep up my milk supply, it was skin to skin all day long. I was never able to produce a sufficient amount of breast milk. Now he won’t sleep alone. My husband and I need our bed back and are struggling to find alone time for the important thing in a marriage (wink wink) please help!

Question 5: How do I know I am hearing the voice of God when it sounds like my own thoughts?
