This episode is part of a new segment on the Dad Tired podcast, called Q&A with Chris, where listeners can anonymously submit their burning questions. Jerrad Lopes curates a range of questions, aiming to get Chris’s off-the-cuff thoughts.

Episode Highlights:

What’s Off-Limits in the Bedroom for Christian Couples?
Chris opens with a challenging question: is there anything off-limits for a Christian husband and wife in the bedroom? He offers a deep theological answer, explaining how sex within marriage reflects the union between Christ and His church, which means certain acts may break this analogy and should be avoided. He talks about the importance of mutual consent and avoiding harm while addressing the limits of biblical intimacy.

Is Church Membership Biblical?
Chris passionately argues for the importance of church membership, explaining why commitment to a local body is essential for spiritual growth. He contrasts modern consumeristic church culture with the early church’s structure, explaining how membership fosters accountability, biblical discipline, and stronger church communities.

The Baptism of the Holy Spirit Explained
Diving into one of the more theologically complex questions, Chris explores the idea of the baptism of the Holy Spirit. He explains how different denominations view this concept and where the idea of receiving spiritual gifts post-conversion stems from, while also offering his own perspective on how the Holy Spirit works in the believer’s life.
Time Stamp: 13:45 - 16:36
Burial vs. Cremation: Is There a Biblical Stance?
Chris answers whether there’s a biblical mandate regarding burial versus cremation. Drawing from personal experience and scriptural principles, he explains why Christians have the liberty to choose either option without fear that cremation undermines the resurrection.

1:16.4	Yes. that it is consensual? Yes, the introduction, the key aspects of sex that we have to take into consideration is to recognize that sex like marriage is supposed to imitate a reality that is actually found more real in Christ. So marriage is this this submission idea. It is servant
