If God values human life so much that He made us in his image, how could He permit the death of so many unborn children? In this week's episode of Ask Away, Jo and Vince look at this question from a deeply personal perspective, sharing their story of loss and how God showed them His loving kindness in the midst of grief. It is their hope and prayer that this episode helps those who are walking through sorrow sense the presence of God even in times of immense sadness.Have a question you want Ask Away to cover?

RZIM: Ask Away Broadcasts

How Could God Allow Miscarriages?

Does prayer really make a difference if God already knows what is going to happen? In this classic episode of Ask Away, Jo and Vince consider the role of prayer in the life of a Christian. They suggest that prayer is much broader than simply asking God to do things for us, and they use scripture and their personal experiences to build a case that prayer changes both ourselves and the world around us.Have a question you want Ask Away to cover?

Are We Just Our Brains?

What is the meaning of life? Can we have meaningful lives without God? In this episode of Ask Away that originally aired in the fall of 2018, Drs. Jo and Vince Vitale draw on philosophy and their personal experiences to consider how different worldviews respond to these questions. They suggest that Christianity has a unique perspective and one that makes a practical difference, especially when life seems meaningless.

Does Life Have Meaning?

What is the proper role of physical attraction in a dating relationship? In this episode of Ask Away, Jo and Vince consider how we can approach dating relationships carefully and wisely.

How Important Is Physical Attraction in Dating and Marriage?

Ravi Zacharias often said that "Behind every question is a questioner." What exactly does that mean, and how do we put this encouragement into practice? In this episode of Ask Away, Jo and Vince explain how to identify and lovingly respond to the fundamental concerns and desires that underlie objections to Christianity in a way that provides opportunities for meaningful conversations that can introduce people to Jesus.Have a question you want Ask Away to cover?

How Should We Respond to Objections to Christianity?

Was Jesus just a good man, or truly divine? A recent poll indicates that 30 percent of evangelicals see Jesus as a good and wise moral teacher, but not as God Himself. But, what's the difference, and why does it matter? In today's episode of Ask Away, Jo and Vince consider what Jesus taught about himself, what it means to believe that he is God, and how the answer to this question affects how we live today.Have a question you want Ask Away to cover?

Was Jesus Just a Good Man?

It's a tragic reality that no matter where you live in the world, so many people—both historically and to the present day—have been treated differently, and often appallingly, simply on account of the color of their skin. What does the Christian faith have to say in response to the human problem of racial injustice, a problem that is both global in scope and deeply personal? And how does the central teaching of Christianity compare to other worldviews—such as atheism, relativism, pluralism, and hedonism—when it comes to questions of equality and inequality? Join us this week on Ask Away as Jo and Vince consider how Jesus Christ responds to the cry of protestors the world over, "No Justice, No Peace!" Have a question you want Ask Away to cover?

When It Comes to Equality, Are All Worldviews Equal?

In John 11:33, it says that Jesus was "deeply moved in his spirit and greatly troubled" when he saw Mary weeping over the death of her brother, Lazarus, and that even though Jesus knew he would soon raise Lazarus from the dead, he still entered into Mary's grief so deeply that the Jews around him remarked, "See how he loved him!" In western culture, where women and their emotions have often been labeled as irrational and hysterical, this seems completely revolutionary. But how would Jesus' reaction have been viewed in first century Jewish society? What was their perspective on emotions—and more particularly, on women's emotions—and did it differ at all from other ancient cultures? What does this tell us about how God sees women and what He thinks about human emotion in general? This week on Ask Away, Drs. Jo and Vince Vitale respond to the listener-submitted question, "Is the fact that Jesus was able to join Mary so deeply in her grief—to the point that others were talking about it—as revolutionary to society back then as I imagine it?"

Are Women Too Emotional? Jesus' Response

COVID-19 has drastically increased the church's use of technology. Is this a good thing? From the invention of the printing press to virtual church, was this really what Jesus had in mind when he commanded his followers to go into all the world and make disciples of all nations? Is technology truly bringing us closer together, or is it tearing us apart? This week on the Ask Away podcast, Drs. Jo and Vince Vitale answer the listener-submitted question, "What would Jesus' opinion be on using technology to witness to others today?" Have a question you want Ask Away to cover?

Is Technology Bringing Us Closer Together, or Tearing Us Apart?

Christians often talk about human salvation not as God's "plan B" but as a rescue operation that God initiated even before the foundation of the world. But if that is the case, then how can we trust that God's motives were good? Did He deliberately create a situation in which we would need saving just so He could get to swoop in to the rescue and take the credit for it? Even if He saved us from a fall, is He responsible for leaving us so close to a cliff? This week on the Ask Away podcast, join Drs. Vince and Jo Vitale as they dig into whether God truly is the hero of the story. Have a question you want Ask Away to cover?

Does Jesus Have a Savior Complex?

In 2020, the global video game industry is predicted to generate over $150 billion dollars, more than the movie and the music industry combined! With over two billion gamers in the world today, video games are and will increasingly play a major role in society generally and the nature of human relationships in particular. Is that a good thing or a bad thing? On this week's Ask Away, Vince and Jo respond to a teenager's question, "What is your opinion on violent video games and video games in general? Is it unholy to play them?"Have a question you want Ask Away to cover? Submit a question using our form here or use the hashtag #askrzim on Twitter.

God and Gaming: Is it Wrong to Play Video Games?

After several months of the COVID-19 pandemic, we are all undoubtedly feeling the effects of social distancing and the profound impact it has had on our relationships. While social distancing is a fairly new concept for us, it is something Jesus would have been very familiar with when he lived on earth some 2,000 years ago. What did his approach to social distancing look like? And how does that impact our lives today? This week, Jo and Vince explore some of the many challenges we face in this season, and how God remarkably meets us in each one.Have a question you want Ask Away to cover?
