Episode Description from the Publisher

It’s Mailbag Friday! You’ve got questions, we’ve got answers. Segment 1 • How does a single mom handle a 17-year-old son who continually lies, resists her authority, and seems headed in a bad direction? — Melissa Segment 2 • After leaving a church because of failed church discipline and spiritual abuse, how do we keep from becoming bitter and hypercritical of our next church? — Caitlin Segment 3 • If Christians should help immature believers grow, how does that fit with Paul becoming “all things to all people” in 1 Corinthians 9? — Edwin Segment 4 • My professing-Christian husband regularly uses foul language, often with anger, and says the Bible doesn’t forbid it. Does it? — Beth ___ Thanks for listening! Wretched Radio would not be possible without the financial support of our Gospel Partners.
