Glenn explains the custom of naming sons after their fathers and how John's unique name highlights the divine nature of his birth and ministry.Filled with the Holy Spirit: Micah asks about the frequent mention of people being filled with the Holy Spirit in Luke. Glenn explains that this emphasizes the Holy Spirit's role in Luke's Gospel and serves as a divine endorsement of the events surrounding Jesus' birth and ministry.John the Baptist's Message for Today: Micah questions how to apply John the Baptist's seemingly "socialist" message of sharing possessions to today's world.

He emphasizes the importance of living generously and justly as followers of Jesus.Interpreting Old Testament Laws: Micah asks how to distinguish between Old Testament laws that still apply to Christians and those that don't. Glenn offers two approaches: 1) laws repeated in the New Testament are still binding, and 2) laws can be categorized as ceremonial, civic, or moral, with only moral laws remaining relevant for Christians.This episode offers valuable insights and prompts for your own Pack discussions, especially for Young Adults!
