Maria - Some prayers say in Baptism, “we die with Christ”. What does that mean? (21:56)
Ron - How do I deal with the rebaptism of my teenage granddaughter? (27:29)
Melodye (email) - Grandparents should attend the baptism to show love and keep family peace, even if they disagree, because that moment happens only once and staying away risks lasting estrangement.
