One of the most important internal discussions I think Christians can have involves whether or not we have been endowed with free will by our Creator. Why does it matter whether or not we have free will? To answer that question (and a few more!), I brought on my good friend and founder of FreeThinking Ministries, Tim Stratton.
The Power of Asking Good Questions
Many times, good questions are the best way to get to the bottom of what people believe. Since we don’t have access to their hearts, we need to pry, probe, and ask them to prove why what they believe is true, lest we get caught having to give reasons for claims we haven’t even made!

100: The Glory and Enjoyment of God
What is the chief end of man? According to the Westminster Shorter Catechism, “Man’s chief end is to glorify God, and enjoy him forever.” But what does that mean for us? The Bible is clear (see Revelation 4:11) that we are created for God and his glory. Thus, we can...
099: Not Convinced ≠ No Evidence
When evaluating the evidence for Christian truth claims, many skeptics assert there simply is no evidence. What can we make of such an assessment? When folks talk about evidence (whether atheist, Christian, or otherwise), they often make the mistake of relegating the...
098: Read the Text for Yourself!
What’s the best way to know exactly what truths God meant to convey in his Word? Read the text! It’s easy in a world full of scholarly opinion to rest on the laurels of those you trust as faithful interpreters, but scholars have competing opinions, and you should be...
097: Responding to an Internet Atheist Tirade
The Christian faith is robust and able to withstand even the most challenging of attacks. But some attacks are really only challenging prima facie (at face value). A deeper dive reveals that many challenges are so superficial they hardly require a defense. In this...
