Connie - Does your father still remember the old music you talk about? (02:21)
J.C. - I appreciate the list you are sharing. It makes me want to show more love for my dad. (08:00)

Matt - Can you talk about the difference between imputation of righteousness and infused righteousness? How to Protestants misuse passages here? (45:01)
