Yet another danger when seeking to have meaningful encounters with others is to watch out for when mere rhetoric is being propagated, rather than facts. These days, you'll find that even much information that seems prima facie compelling is based on nothing more than...
Careful Conversations: Focus on the Position, not the Person
Throughout my time in Christian ministry, I have yet to become known as an expert in any particular field. That said, I have gained a reputation for being somewhat of a "peacemaker" in hostile waters. Creationism and presuppositionalism, for example, are both hotly...
“I Don’t Know, and You Don’t Either!” — Confronting Science of the Gaps
The tables are turning in the case of an oft-parroted accusation against biblical theists. I'm speaking about the familiar "God of the Gaps" argument. The kind folks over at RationalWiki provide the following explanation: God of the gaps (or a divine fallacy) is a...
Human and Animal Relationships: A Evolutionary Worldview or Biblical Worldview
This is a guest contribution made by my good friend and co-laborer for the Lord, Pat Mingarelli. Did you ever wonder why we own pets? Or why do we care about environmental and wildlife causes? And why do so many want to chip in and care for the environment or...
Should Christians Question what the Bible Claims to be True?
This is the first article as a part of what I'm calling "Foundations"---a quarterly written resource that goes in-depth into a fundamental area of Christian knowledge to edify and strengthen the Body of Christ. Please feel free to share this article with your friends,...

God, Teach Me to be Less Indifferent
I have a question for you. Do you ever feel so charred---so jaded---about the goings on of the culture around you? And yet, your typical response is plain old indifference. You feel empathy---at least, you think you do. But at the same time the insanity has become so...
On the Place of Evidence in Presuppositional Apologetics
If there's one thing I've learned in my time studying theology and apologetics, it's that there is much division within different camps of Christian belief. This is not necessarily bad, nor is it unexpected (Matthew 10:34), but it does complicate things. As such,...
Book Review: Faith Across the Multiverse
If ever there was a book that made me say, "Well...that was unexpected!" it has to be this one: Faith Across the Multiverse by computational biologist, Andy Walsh. Dr. Walsh is a force to be reckoned with, make no mistake. His vast array of knowledge spanning across...
Protecting Your Precious Time: Practical Advice for Using Apple’s Screen Time Feature
This week, I have for you what may seem like an irrelevant blog post to the enterprise of Christianity. However, I don't believe anything could be further from the truth. The Apostle Paul exhorts us to "redeem the time" (Ephesians 5:15-16). We are not given much time...
