Hosts Scott Lanser and Henry Smith will be continuing their discussion on a pastoral approach in dealing with conflict and differences of opinion. What does the Bible say about conflict? How do we discern issues of essential biblical truth verses those subjects of secondary importance? And lastly, how are we to conduct ourselves among non-believers and with believers that we disagree with?

On these next two episodes of Digging for Truth, we'll be tackling on thorny problem of conflicts and disagreements among believers in Jesus Christ. Our approach will be pastoral as we seek to encourage our viewers to be faithful to the Bible, to distinguish essential biblical doctrine from non-essential and secondary subjects, and to respond to disagreements in a way that follows the principles God has given us in His Word. Are we to respond to believers and non-believers differently? Is scholarly debate and conflict unique? How can we more faithfully honor the Lord in our life and conduct when conflicts arrive? These are just some of the questions we will confronting in this two-part episode of Digging for Truth dedicated to this important topic.

To say that western society is destroying itself from within might very well be the understatement of the century. Our public educational institutions have played a significant role in the spiritual, moral, and intellectual demise of western culture. Public education is now steeped in a worldview that is deeply antagonistic towards the Creator, His moral law, and the Gospel of Christ. Christian parents seriously committed to the Gospel are deeply concerned about the impact these institutions are having on their children. Is there a better way to educate these precious ones who have been given to us by God? Mr. John Mark Niehls of Coventry Christian Schools in Pottstown, PA joins us to talk about a Gospel-centered and time tested alternative: Classical Christian Education.
