17:17 Podcast

Mass shootings and Gun rights: Should we even allow guns?  Would Jesus carry a pistol if he were in human form on earth today? Is it moral for Christians to carry one?  

On this episode, we pose the question, "Should Christians carry a firearm?"  We spend time looking at what Scripture says regarding self-defense as well as the role of government in defense.  Firearms are one of many things believers are divided on.  Our hope is that as you listen, you grow in a knowledge of God and his Word as well as helping you to see this topic from a biblical framework.

Is climate change a hoax?  Should it be something we are worried about?  Why is it so political?

On this episode, we pose the question, "How should Christians respond to climate change?"  We spend time looking at Scripture speaking to God's sovereignty over His creation and man's responsibility here on Earth.  Is humanity doomed because of the rising temperatures?  Is there something we should do to combat it?  Our hope is that as you listen, you grow in a knowledge of God and his Word as well as helping you to see this topic from a biblical framework.

"My body, my choice"...is it though?  What is the value of human life?  Is it ever acceptable to terminate that life, or is it just a clump of cells?

On this episode, we pose the question, "Is Abortion Always Wrong?"  We spend time looking at Scripture speaking to human life and when it begins and how we ought to treat one another.  Abortion is one of the hottest topics out there with opinions all over the place.  Our hope is that as you listen, you grow in a knowledge of God and his Word as well as helping you to see this topic from a biblical framework.

 "Sanctify them in the truth; Your word is truth." - John 17:17

Capitalism is such a dirty word to many, but should it be?  Are there economic principles in the Bible?  What about "eating the rich?"

On this episode, we pose the question, "Is Capitalism Biblical?"  We spend time defining capitalism, a few major contrasts to socialism, and a breadth of Scripture to address whether or not this worldview is biblical.  There have been debates all over America in the evangelical church about which economic system is the best, and that's only been exacerbated during election season.  Our hope is that as you listen, you grow in a knowledge of God and his Word as well as helping you to see this topic from a biblical framework.

If we're called to help the poor and needy, isn't socialism the answer?  Would Jesus be voting for this worldview today?

On this episode, we pose the question, "Was Jesus a socialist?"  We spend time defining socialism, a little history of the impact of socialism, and a breadth of Scripture to address whether or not this worldview is biblical.  There have been debates all over America in the evangelical church about which economic system is the best, and that's only been exacerbated during election season.  Our hope is that as you listen, you grow in a knowledge of God and his Word as well as helping you to see this topic from a biblical framework.

Is the Bible even history?  Doesn't modern science disprove the Bible?  How do we know if any of it is trustworthy?

On this episode, we establish our roots by answering the question, "How do we know the Bible is true?"  Many believe the Bible, but may not have a firm foundation on exactly WHY they believe the Bible, and we seek to answer that on this first ever episode of the 17:17 podcast.  We dig into Scripture, archeological evidence, and secular proof texts to show the validity of the Bible.
