    ASK ADAM PODCAST – September 2026: STEP IT UP It’s time to STEP IT UP! This month, Pastor Adam dives into another round of biblical, historical, and practical questions as we challenge ourselves to step forward with courage, grow deeper in the Word, and strengthen our faith. Our September theme comes from Joshua 1:9: 📖 “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.” From Joseph of Arimathea and the 400 years of silence to the Pool of Siloam, the Tree of Knowledge, children in Heaven, dreamcatchers, crystals, and Christian heritage—we’re stepping into some big questions this month! QUESTIONS IN THIS EPISODE: • Who was Joseph of Arimathea? – Del from Madera • Why does the Catholic Bible switch the 4th and 5th Commandments? – Marta • After the flood, if we are all descendants of Noah, doesn’t that make us all part of God’s chosen people? When did the distinction between Jew and Gentile begin? – Jessica • Why worship a God who seemingly wanted to keep humanity ignorant by forbidding Adam and Eve from eating from the Tree of Knowledge? – Ken from Palo Alto • How many times was Jesus upset or angry with people or His followers? – Xavier • What is the significance of the Pilate ring? • What were the 400 years of silence? – Darby • What is the significance of Israel opening the Pool of Siloam? – The Wilcoxes • What are the laws in Israel regarding marrying young? – Izzy from Texas • If life begins with a soul when sperm meets egg, will we see the children lost through miscarriage, abortion, or stillbirth in Heaven? – Rudy • Can a Christian own a dreamcatcher or crystals without practicing their spiritual uses? What if they are connected to someone’s family history and heritage? – EJ & Marie 📖 NEXT MONTH: Galatians 6:9 — “And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.” Have a question for Pastor Adam? Send it in and it might make it onto the next episode of ASK ADAM! #AskAdamPodcast #StepItUp #JubileeBridge #BibleQuestions #ChristianPodcast #Joshua1 #PastorAdam

    Scripture: BLOOM Isaiah 35:1-2 The desert and the parched land will be glad; the wilderness will rejoice and blossom. Like the crocus, it will burst into bloom; it will rejoice greatly and shout for joy.  AAB Seems Roman’s put way more emphasis on physical well being (exercise, bathing etc…) as opposed to Jews… why is that? - Pete from Washington  What is your opinion on "the book of Enoch" - Sarahlee Who was Cains wife (Genesis 4)… wasn’t she a relative and in violation of levitical law to marry a family member? - Tony AAA You recently did a series on The Rolling Stones which I thought was odd… but I rather enjoyed it… any future more Rolling Stones? - Anonymous  Why does God allow bad things to happen? - Jimmy from SJ  Is preaching easier in front of your home church or at another church you’re visiting? And is your sermon prep different at each site? - Pastor Rick from Washington Next Month’s theme: LOOK UP John 4:35

    Episode 14

    Ask Adam Why did it take exactly three days for Jesus’s resurrection. And why was he only given 40 days to walk on earth with his disciples and to preach the gospel before returning to heaven?  In Mark 9: 49 Jesus is teaching His disciples, warns them of he'll and says everyone will be salted with fire. What does he mean? Is he talking about the fire of hell or the fire of the holy spirit, or something else? - Leslie  How does one reconcile Jesus’s statement of having only one commandment, “love one another”… vs the many written instructions from the Apostle Paul on how to live appropriately on the day-to-day like: put on the whole armor of God, pray without ceasing, avoid laziness, do everything decently in and in order … etc. With Jesus it seems all is settled with love - but with Paul painting the portrait Christianity seems like a lot of work!  Q for Pastor Jessica - How have you been able to stay home and raise 7 children in the Valley? In the book of exodus why did god purposely hardened pharaoh’s heart when it came to letting the Israelites go even after pharaoh was shown gods power with all the different plagues that took place?  Are the laws that God wrote in the book of exodus specifically books 21-23 are those considered to be outdated laws or are those still applied to today seeing how they talk about how to treat Israel slaves and ownership over different animals like donkeys and oxen. What caused the devil to turn against god. And how can a divine being like Lucifer feel the need to rebel and commit sin even though he was an angel does this mean that even divine beings like angels have similar emotions and characteristics like humans? What do you think of the theory that the serpent beasts in the ocean mentioned in the bible or in some translations “dragons” are the dinosaur bones that archeologists have found seeing that we have found some aquatic dinosaur bones? Ask Adam Anything… Is gambling a sin? - Carrie from Morgan hill Should minors do ministry? Shouldn’t those of age be performing ministry? - From Coleen To you, what’s the difference between letting go and trusting God (and moving on in your prayer life to other things in confidence God has the situation), and letting the enemy win out of exhaustion in prayer and just “giving in to him”?

    Ask Adam About the Bible In the book of Daniel, after they were sent to Babylon, we learn that some Israelites were given new names by the Babylonian officials. Daniel was given the name Belteshazzar; Hananiah, Shadrach; Mishael, Meshach; and Azariah, Abednego. But for the rest of the book Daniel is referred to by his original name but the other are always refer to by they Babylonian names. Why do you believe this was done? - Ryan (APP) Hello guys, What are your thoughts on 1 Samuel 28:1-25? Where Saul uses a medium to talk with Samuel. Did God allow a medium to summon Samuel? Mediums and necromancers were strictly forbidden… it’s part of the Law of Moses… Saul even kicked them out of the land. For a medium to Summon a major prophet as Samuel… what’s going on here? Thanks - Brandon G (APP) During the Christmas Eve candlelight you mentioned about the ironies of Jesus… any other examples? - Brian from San Martin You called the dead sea scrolls the biggest archeological find of the 20th century … what would you say is the biggest of the 21st century? - Chris from the bridge Hello all, Can you please explain modalism and why it’s considered heresy and wrong? Thank you. - Brandon G (APP) (the doctrine that the persons of the Trinity represent only three modes or aspects of the divine revelation, not distinct and coexisting persons in the divine nature.) Can you please explain the theology of Glory vs. the theology of the cross. I came across this topic a few times and don't quite understand it. Thanks - Brandon G (APP) Ask Adam Anything What is your thought on keeping the ashes of your loved one in your home.
