Has there been a philosophical question discussed over the centuries more than "what is the meaning of life"? Since it's been such a popular topic over the years, it felt appropriate to give our take. On today's episode Allen, Daniel, and Joe talk about the theme from the world's point of view and the Christians. It turns out that there is a stark difference!

This episode of Soul Training deals with the topic of criticism. How do we take it? Should we take it? What do we do once it's given to us? How should we give criticism?

The Bible says more about the subject than one might think, so we dive into God's word for some answers.

For this episode, we decided to record in front of a studio audience for the first time. We LOVED the energy a live audience brings! The last bit of the show this week is a Q&A segment featuring some of our audience members. If you're a long time listener, you may recognize a couple of voices.

Other show highlights: Allen tells how NOT to ask for criticism.

A listener approached us wanting to hear our take on why we sing. We sing in worship. We sing for fun. We sing in the car to pass the time. Why do we feel compelled to do this and why did God mandate this during our worship to him?

On today's episode the Soul Training guys go in depth on the questions above as well as tell some stories from their past to relate to the topic.

The episode references an older episode on why we shouldn't have instrumental music accompany our singing during worship. That episode can be found here - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/why-should-we-worship-without-instruments/id1544509536?i=1000661226281
