   I appreciate this podcast, but as far as this episode goes….

   I believe we should read the actual bible.

   Thanks to Defining Grace for bringing on different voices. However, I could not align with this one.

     LGH,

     Thanks so much for writing in! I do try to have a wide range of guests on the show. Past guests have included everyone from an executive at LifeWay to Rob Bell to folks outside the Church. I do this because I believe we can learn from everyone—even if we don’t totally agree with them or their interpretation of Scripture.

     Peace,
     Dan

     LGH,

     And if you’re willing, I’d love to hear more about what you thought.

     My assumption, and I know it could be completely wrong, is that you’re focusing in on the issue of whether sex outside of marriage is a sin. This is a controversial issue, I named it as a controversial issue, and Alisha herself said that she wasn’t trying to convince anyone that it was or was not sinful. That was not the point of the interview. To focus only on that is to completely miss the other 35-40 minutes of the conversation.

     The broader and more important point is that single mothers and their children deserve love, support, and grace, which is biblical. I hope that you could align with this point. And to only focus on the one situation is to overlook the many other situations in which a mother (or father) may be raising a child on their own.

     Thanks again for listening, and again, my assumption may be completely off. I look forward to hearing more about what you thought.

     Peace,
     Dan
