- For those who don’t know you, would you introduce yourself and tell us about you, your family, and your ministry?
- You’ve written a lot lately. What’s inspiring all this writing?
- Where did your drive to address tough questions with and for people come from?
- How can parents and churches have conversations about some of these difficult stories? (Racism or sexism justified by the bible throughout history or a church leader whose sin is exposed.)
- Can you talk to us about some of how science and Christianity are compatible or not?
- Why don’t churches do more to talk about science?
- What are your family's dinner conversations like?

- What hope would you offer to a parent whose teenager is struggling with same-sex attraction or their sexual identity?
- What do we learn from the story of Mary and Martha when Lazarus died in John 11? Can you share that with us, what do we learn from that story? How do you disciple your kids through suffering in a way that lines up with scripture?
