After various divisive comments from a recent episode addressing Kirk Cameron's new views on Hell, I felt it necessary to address 1. The comments and 2. How we as Christians should navigate these kinds of conversations and disagreements that we have over specific doctrines. Does anyone have perfect theology? Should we divide or sparate over issues of end times views, baptism, worship, soteriology etc? Does everyone have to agree on the specifics of these issues to be considered family? Are there primary and secondary issues in the Bible when it comes to salvation? Stick around and find out.

On this episode of Campfire Apologetics, I'm joined by my oldest son Asher to answer some big questions. We thought it would be a great idea to have him join me to ask me some tough questions as I attempt to answer in a way that a 10 year old will understand. I flip the script on him a bit and make him answer his own questions. Some of those questions include, "How do you know Jesus is real?", "What do you think heaven will be like?", "What do you think God was doing before the world was created?" and many more.

n this episode I sit down with Jacob Vasquez of  @TruthfulHope  to discuss his masters thesis on the issue of abortion. Jacob argues that naturalism cannot explain three facts about humanity (consciousness, rationality, and human dignity) that both pro-life and secular pro-life advocates agree are components in what gives someone personhood. Christianity teaches that all human beings are made in the Imago Dei (image of God) and because of this we have intrinsic value and worth. The Christian worldview is the only worldview that can give an answer for what makes a human valuable. What grounds value, consciousness, rationality, or human dignity? I'll give you a little spoiler. It's not naturalism.

In recent christian news, popular evangelist and actor Kirk Cameron shared that he is rethinking Hell. The position that he is leaning towards is known as conditionalism. In this episode, I break down what conditionalism is, and whether or not it is biblical. Can a case be made for the position from the Bible? I also offer some of my own thoughts and critiques to the position. Should we as christians divide over this kind of thing? Is this a primary or secondary issue? Would deviating from the tradition view of Hell put you in danger of being a heretic? Leave a comment and let me know your thoughts! #hell #podcast #christian #conditionalism #eternal #conscious #torment #Bible #Study #Jesus #Christ #heretic

On this episode I address the question, "do Christians need to go to church?" Many Christians are under the assumption that church attendance is optional, or that they "are the church," but are these things biblical? Is Church attendance optional for the practicing Christian? What about church hurt? Are we ok facing life's battles on our own? How will we hold ourselves accountable? All of these questions and more are answered.

In this episode I explain what a worldview is by using the acronym T.A.K.E.S (Theology, anthropology, knowledge, ethics, salvation) and explain why beliefs are not private, meaningless, harmless enterprises, but actually carry real weight and consequences in the real world. Why do beliefs matter at all? Why do Christians care so much about what the rest of the world believes? Can things like love and justice be meaningful without God or do they end up being inconsistent and arbitrary?

On this episode of Campfire Apologetics, I welcome Jerry Duckworth (The Twitchy Theologian) onto the channel to discuss some of the toughest objections to Calvinism and how to answer said objections. Do we have free will? How does a calvinist define free will? Does Calvinism naturally lead to fatalism? Are we all just puppets that God is forcing and coercing into various areas of life or do we actually make morally free decisions in which t we are responsible? Jerry and I do our best to answer all of these questions. Stick around until the end.

On this episode of Campfire Apologetics, I sit down with Dr. James Anderson who is the professor of theology and philosophy at Reformed Theological Seminary to help Christians better understand hard concepts within presuppositional apologetics. Concepts like epistemology, formal logic, preconditions of intelligibility and more. These things can be daunting and intimidating when trying to enter into the world of apologetics. We consider the concept of a worldview and the inherent burden of it's defense. Every individual possesses a worldview, whether they are aware of it or not. Learn how to defend your faith in a thoughtful and coherent manner.

In this episode, I explore the question of whether the mind and the brain are truly the same thing. Is the mind purely material, or is there something immaterial about our thoughts and consciousness? Are our thoughts nothing more than physical processes in the brain—and if so, can we actually trust them? What do these questions reveal about the nature of reality itself? Stick around for the full episode as we dig into these deep and foundational issues.#mind #brain #philosophy #cognition #cognitive #thoughts #material #immaterial #dualist #God #Jesus #soul #saved

On this episode of Campfire Apologetics, I get very personal. I wanted to share my story of my journey to faith in Jesus Christ. Testimonies, while subjective, can be a powerful way to witness and evangelize to people. Our experience must align with scripture and with the ultimate reality that is only found in Christ. I share details about my upbringing, earlier years, deep sins, struggles with depression, and ultimately how God pulled me out of the depths of despair. #Jesus #providence #grace #podcast #love #God #saved #testimony
