Episodes

  1. Discussing Catholicism, Feat. Prof. Mark Bird

    Catholics and protestants share many common beliefs, especially when it comes down to basic things about who Jesus is, His resurrection, what the Trinity is, and much more. But Catholics also hold many views that Protestants like me would disagree with, in some cases pretty strongly too. In this...

  2. Gen Z, the Atheist generation? Feat. Scott McDowell

    We hear in the media that Gen Z is the first post Christian generation, but might there be more to the story than just the polling numbers? Are young people coming back to church? In this episode, we are joined by Scott McDowell, to discuss this topic along with the topics of evangelism and doubt!

  3. Trusting in God when it’s hard.

    You may have noticed a drop in sound quality, and that is because, since I had Raysean on here, I decided that rather than taking a chance of having to constantly move the microphone, which would cause a bunch of background noise, it would be best to just not use the microphone at all, and just…

  12. Q&A with Kent Hovind. (READ DESCRIPTION)

    I do not agree with all of Kent Hovind’s beliefs, I think he is incorrect in saying that it is a heresy to believe that the Earth is old. There is many great Christian apologists some of whom I have talked to and know, who believe that the Earth is old.

  16. The Columbo tactic

    This is a tactic YOU can use in conversations you will have with people about Jesus! One of the biggest things I struggle with, is how to start the conversation, and how to keep it going without coming off as confrontational or argumentative. This will help! For more helpful tactics like this…

  37. Was what we read about Jesus‘s life copied from mythological gods?

    There have been a lot of false gods that people have believed in and worshiped for the past thousands of years, and there have been claims made that allow the stuff we read about Jesus was copied from these other gods, such as the virgin birth, the resurrection and many other things which are...

  47. Are the six days of creation literal 24 hour days

    When it comes to things like this, I don’t think that they’re so important that if you believe a certain interpretation on the days, then you’re a heretic. I do think that interpretations on the Bible are fine, as long as they aren’t heresy then there are ultimately, just a matter of opinion.…
