Average Apologetics

Do you take what people tell you as the Gospel truth? Do you assume the face value of what you're taught by others is the be-all-end-all? If so, you might want to take a step back and consider just how true those claims really are. Today, we discuss the very real reality of how truth claims are not always true, and how it is your personal responsibility to do your due diligence to vet those claims.

Today marks the beginning of the daily show of the Average Apologetics Podcast! Join us as we discuss the rise of anti-Christian sentiment in the Canadian Communist Party, the very real realities of human rights (and their [divine] origins), and the somber truth about what happens when we fail to stand up for what we believe. Great start to the daily show!

In today's episode, I start by discussing the plans I have for this podcast going forward and the changes I am going to try to implement and uphold (fingers crossed!). Later in the episode, I bring up a recent example of how transforming language as a means to rewrite reality is not only an exercise of insanity but a slippery slope above a dangerous destination.

Some say that Socialism is a natural extension of Christianity, building off of the fundamentals of self-sacrifice, compassion, and concern for your fellow man, but is that actually true? Is the socio-economical system of governance that we know as Socialism actually compatible with a Christian-Biblical worldview?

There are plenty of arguments that pop up from atheists and agnostics; however, there are occasional arguments that take advantage of certain disputes within the body of Christ. When a topic is complex or even has an ambiguous Scriptural basis, it's more important than ever for the defenders of the faith to take a step back and work through the issue well in advance to be better prepared for when that issue becomes the attack of the day. Today's topic: what about those people who have never heard the name of Jesus?

What defines a sacrifice? What does sacrifice really even mean? If we are to believe Nancy Pelosi, what we saw in the final moments of George Floyd's life constitutes a form of sacrifice, specifically for the sake of justice. Do you believe that George Floyd lay down his life for a greater cause, or, bearing in mind that Nancy Pelosi is a professed devout Catholic, are we seeing a gross misrepresentation of something pivotal to the Christian faith being trivialized for the sake of political expediency?

Have you ever heard the claim that Christianity is simply too "exclusive" to be an acceptable worldview? That it condemns people who do not hold to its teachings? That Christianity is simply too "intolerant?" Join us today as we take a look at the nature of worldviews to see if there is such a thing as an "all-inclusive" world view, or if all human perspectives are inherently exclusive.

In today's episode, we take a look at the inability of human beings to be fully satisfied within the confines of natural life. Join us as we examine how this lesson takes shape in toddlers, the writing of King Solomon, and rioters.

Do you live a life that is filled with hope? Do you live looking forward to eternal matters, or do you prioritize immediate concerns like money, health, and comfort? In this episode, we take a look at the hope that exists only within the promises of God and the inevitability of the end that comes to natural life.

In this episode, I take a closer look at a conceptual pair-up that I heard during a political speech last year and have been thinking about it ever since. The idea of pitting truth and facts as opposing forces is an interesting dynamic, especially when you consider the meanings of those two terms.
