Thank you. It's very nice to talk to you. My question is, I was raised Catholic for 45 years, and over the last 10 years I became very interested in the true Christian faith, and I love verse-by-verse teachings. I love listening to them and learning to them. I've spent a lot of time listening to different pastors from Calvary Chapel, especially Joe Folk from Philadelphia, and I was just wondering what your opinion was of that brand of teaching from Calvary Chapel. Surprisingly, I was in Southern California where Calvary Chapel started, and the founder of Calvary Chapel, Chuck Smith, baptized my wife and I together out in the ocean. She and I were married by a Calvary Chapel pastor, and we used to go to Calvary Chapel. In fact, I have a good friend up here in Idaho who's a Calvary Chapel pastor, and I preached in his church.

Not this week, but the weekend after, I'll be at a Calvary Chapel in Yorba Linda, California, speaking at a conference, and then the next day on the 15th, I'll be preaching at a Calvary Chapel in Norco, Southern California. Calvary Chapel is a good, basic church. If you want deep theology, you need to go to a Reformed church and find out about those later. Calvary Chapel is a good place to be. They're pre-Trib, pre-Tribulation, Rapture stuff, which I don't agree with, but okay. But you're going to get, verse by verse, you're going to get good stuff to focus on Jesus, not on sacred tradition and not all these wacko things the Catholic Church is at. It won't be praying to Mary.

You're going to be looking at the Word of God, verse by verse, and Calvary Chapel is known for that. Okay? Yes, thank you. I think that what I learned so much in the last 10 years of my life about having a true relationship with Christ than I did in the 45 years that I was in the Catholic Church. Right. Yeah, because in Catholicism, your relationship with God is governed by the authority, the priesthood in the Catholic Church, and you have to go through all the rituals. So it steps in the way between you and Christ. And so that's what that is. Yeah, I would also think that God was... Go ahead. Yeah, that God was just waiting to punish me, and I was always in fear of him, but recently, like I say, over the last 10 years, understanding his grace and Christ's sacrifice and having a true personal relationship with Jesus Christ makes me feel so comfortable being in a relationship with him. So I thank you for your answer.

Good. You know, what you're saying there is out of 1 Corinthians 1, 9, which says God is faithful through whom we are called into fellowship with his son, Christ Jesus. Fellowship is a communion. You spend time with the Lord. He's the one we're supposed to have fellowship with.

We go straight to him. And you will see more and more of that in Calvary Chapel. Alright?

It's not perfect, but it's better than the Catholic Church by far. Thank you. Okay. Well, God bless. Okay.

Alright. That's Luke from Ohio, and now let's get to Charles from Dayton, Ohio. Hey, Charles, welcome. You're on the air.

Charles. Hello. Hey, there you go. Alright, man.

So what do you got, big guy? Well, my wife, she's 74, and she's had, she was diagnosed with, we knew something was wrong. She'd been on rescue inhalers for a long time, but she's diagnosed with COPD June of 2023. And then she's had, the pulmonologist thought she had a lung cancer nodule, and so she went to Indianapolis, and they verified it was, you know, first stage, and then she's had five radiation treatments, and they said it was shrinking. And that was months ago, and now she goes in the tent to get another CT scan to see how it's doing.

But the daily problem that just is wearing me out, and even our daughters, you know, they've tried to help, but they're, you know, about, they kind of feel defeated too. But she, her appetite, I mean, she'll get hungry, but she cannot visualize, you know, maybe she'll, one day she'll say, you know, get me this. And actually, in the four years that we've moved from... Well, maybe Mr., do you have a question?

I mean, do you have a question in there? Yeah, she, have you ever heard of any, I've asked medical people, specialists... Ever heard of what? About the fact that she can't, just like a little bit ago, she's hungry. She can't what?

She wants me to bring her home, suffer, but she doesn't know what she wants. Do you have a question, though? Let's get right to it. If you had a formulated question, what would it be? Do you know anything, do you have any experience with anything like that?

Like what? Spiritually or physically? What, an eating disorder? Somebody that gets hungry, but they don't know what, they can't visualize eating anything.

Yes, it happens to all kinds of people, they just get hungry. Hunger is a physiological thing and the satisfaction of it can be an emotionally based thing. A lot of people who are traumatized turn to food to help themselves as a comforter. And so some people who are under distress can have that as well. And where food, it causes you to feel good.

And so people will often turn to that as a way of self-medicating. And then it can become problematic, stuff like that. So sometimes I'll say to my wife, I'll say, you know, I'm hungry, I want something nice, but I don't know what I want. And then I say to her, because she's my wife, I say, can you solve that problem for me? And then she gives me this weird look. But it happens, it's just something, it's not a big deal.

I'm hungry, but I don't know what I want. That's fine. It's not a big deal. Well, it's been every day for the last, at least four years. And I've gone to, there's probably 30 different places that I've gone to and most of them she can't go back to now.

Okay. So your job as a husband is to be as supportive of her as you can with this. COPD is serious. And it might be a coping mechanism that she's having because it causes stress to the body. And she might just be reacting that way because of the stressors that are there and what's associated emotionally with COPD.

So your job is to just be comforting and not add to the stress, but guide her in it with prayer and love and patience. Okay? Okay. All right. Thank you. You're welcome. Well, God bless. All right.

Hey, we are out of time. May the Lord bless you. Now, by his grace, we're back on the air tomorrow. And I just want to remind you that we could use your support. Please consider supporting us.

Just go to karm.org, C-A-R-M dot O-R-G forward slash donate. And we'd appreciate that. And by his grace, like I said, we're back on the air tomorrow and we'll talk to you then. So have a great evening, everyone. God bless. Another program powered by the Truth Network.
