Creation Conversations: Adam or Death — Which Came First? w/ Dr. Stephen Lloyd
Why are young age creationist’s so passionate—and insistent—about taking the first chapters of Genesis seriously? Join Dr. Stephen Lloyd and me for a rich, extended discussion about why the origins issue matters and what we can do to graciously present our side of the story.
Facts vs. Faith vs. Feelings: How Do We Know and Experience God?
The intellectual side of Christianity is very attractive and most natural to me, so I’ve been thinking about a way to understand our relational experience of Christ in this context. By using some pragmatic philosophy, we can draw helpful distinctions between the various ways we know and experience God and his world.
Why Fight for Free Will? w/ Tim Stratton
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.
Tactics: A Must-Have Manual on Sharing Your Faith
Just last month, Greg Koukl released the 10th-anniversary edition of Tactics—a must-read book that has been instrumental in my life—which has been updated and expanded with over 40% new content! While there’s much I could say, I’d love to just zoom in on my top three takeaways.
Careful Conversations: Take All Thoughts Captive
There is a danger that I’ve seen many defenders of Christianity fall into (I’ve been there myself), that I’m poised to help others avoid. That is, a failure to take all thoughts captive to biblical truth. You see, it’s not merely what is logically permissible, possible, or even probable that matters; it’s what is biblical. Why is that?
Careful Conversations: Be Willing to Change Your Mind
Do you think it’s possible you could be wrong about certain things you know? I think an important part of having careful conversations is the willingness to change your mind. Here’s what I mean.
What About Those Strange Bible Stories?
In the Bible (but the Old Testament especially), we’re presented with stories that seem…well, odd. What are we to do with these? Well, not only do I think they are biblically defensible and, for the most part, even historically accurate; I also think they tell us significantly more than most think.
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!
Apologists: This Christmas, Let Us Lead in Worshipping the God We Defend
To those of us who give thoughtful consideration to the defense of the faith, I want to offer an admonishment this year: Let's lead the way not only in championing the defense of God, but in the worship of him as well. The Trap If you're anything like me, at one...
Careful Conversations: Craft Sound Arguments
The third theme I noticed in my attempts to create careful conversations with those who disagree had to do with the structure of my arguments themselves. The truth is you won't get very far in conversations with others if they don't consider you a sound "debate"...
