I Feel Stupid I become easily intrigued and fascinated when it comes to apologetic arguments. Whenever I listen to or watch apologists, I often think, “Wow! I definitely didn’t know…
Read MoreEp. 104: The Reliable Bible
Many questions arise when one considers the Bible. For example, “Why are there contradictions?” “If this is really the Word of God, why isn’t it clearer?” and “Why are we putting so much trust in these books when they’re not even the originals, but copies of copies of copies?” These are valid questions that many people ask. They’re also questions that many get hung up on. We get it. That’s why we wanted to go to a scholar for the last two weeks to help us work through them. Dr. Andreas Köstenberger joins us this week to help us think critically about these skeptical questions. You can listen to our first conversation with Andreas here.
Read MoreEp. 103: Does God Even Care?
“How can God be good if there’s so much suffering in the world?” This is an age-old question that’s caused much conversation over the years – and we want to add to it. This week we will begin airing a mini 2-week series with Dr. Andreas Köstenberger. The purpose of these two weeks is to take popular skeptical and atheistic assertions that seemingly “debunk” God, the Bible, and Jesus, and see if they’re legit. This week we tackle the issue of God and suffering, as well as the question “Who picked the New Testament books, and where’d they come from?”

Read MoreEp. 130: The Reliability of the New Testament
Perhaps you don’t read the Bible because you don’t think it’s reliable. It’s amazing what studying the Bible’s reliability can do for the skeptic and Christian alike. For the skeptic, it challenges their presupposed ideas that have been hammered in their minds from the Discovery Channel, and for the Christian, it strengthens their faith in God and encourages them to read and meditate more often. It’s a privilege to chat with Simon Peacock this week, a young Christian leader who’s taken upon himself the study of the New Testament’s reliability. We ask him about the need to study the Bible’s reliability, what some of the best arguments are for it (and against it), as well as how we can use what we’ve studied in our evangelism.
