Brewed Up Apologetics

Tyler begins diving into the historical side of the resurrection while continuing his beer journey through the Appalachian Mountains via Charlotte, NC.

Tyler was invited to speak at a local Cru movement just before easter. It fell perfectly in line with his current area of study and thought it was a good topic to bring up. He starts with the biological case for his death and then moving into some of the historical evidences for the resurrection. Though it was a pre-recorded thing, he still wanted to share what he was sipping on which was Hazy-O from Dogfish Head Brewery. Dogfish head is his favorite but for this one, he has some interesting thoughts and reactions. 

In this episode, Tyler continues his discussion on the biological side of the resurrection of Jesus. So far he has talked about hematohidrosis, scourging, and the mocking of Jesus of Nazareth. This episode looks at the biological implications of the road to Golgotha and the crucifixion itself while sipping on another Charlotte, NC beer, MexiCali Stout by Birdsong Brewing. He also mentions part of his story about his divorce and how that has affected him. Please don't hesitate to email him at [email protected].

Today, Tyler continues to interact with the biological side of the two events leading up to the actual crucifixion of Jesus (the scourging and mocking) all while sipping something new to him: Reptar Juice. Reptar Juice is a monster brew from Twenty-Six Acres Brewing from Concord, NC and is a NEIPA for the books. Listen in for his review and some tasting notes and stats while talking about the most influential topic in the entire world, the crucifixion of Jesus of Nazareth.

In our glass today are two of my favorites: Dogfish Head's 60 Minute IPA and the Resurrection of Jesus. Dogfish Head is my favorite brewery to date and with their culinary and foodie minds, they create some of the best and unique brews in the game. Their 60 Minute IPA is their flagship brew made using their unique system of continuous hopping. While sipping on that, take a bit of time to enjoy a discussion of the resurrection of Jesus. It is the central topic in the Christian faith and the whole thing hinges on it. This pint includes an introduction to the topic and a look at what happened to Jesus biologically in the garden of Gethsemane.

This second pint includes a taste of a New Trail brew: Snickerdoodle IPA, a delectable dessert IPA that is perfect for a Christmas gathering or an end of the day wind down.  We finish our discussion on the Doctrine of the Trinity and how it compares and contrasts with Oneness Theology, or Modalism. Crack a brew open and enjoy the conversation.

Life is something that 2020 has brought into the spotlight. We have seen the deaths of so many due to COVID-19, but I wanted to take a step back and not look at individual cases or circumstances (COVID-19, abortion, assisted suicide, and the like). In this pint, we dive into the sanctity of life with a dram of Dogfish Head's Alternative Takes 2 which is a whisky finished in Palo Santo Marron barrels. This is but a sip of a very large topic in theology so enjoy a dram with me.

This first pint includes a taste of a collaboration that New Trail Brewing did with Imprint Beer. The rest of the pint includes some substance surrounding the debate between the heresy of Modalism and the orthodox doctrine of the Trinity. Take a sip and enjoy a good conversation.

This round concluces our exploration of the Doctrine of God and the coherence of theism. This pint includes the doctrines: omnipotence, omniscience, holiness/justice, and goodness. In the middle of it, there are some points for pondering as from current events that are affecting every one of us in 2020. Also, I offer up a sip of a review and tasting notes of a seasonal brew from New Trail: Zombies are People Too.

In this pint, I have a new release of what I am hoping is not a one-off, my first sermon. We explored the concept of why God matters in a culture that presses in on Christianity and Christian thought. Humanity, because of God, has ultimate meaning, value, and purpose. In the sermon we looked at all 3 briefly.
