On the first part of this two part series, Donny Budinsky of  @StandingForTruthMinistries  clearly lays out the case for creation, and against evolution. In this presentation, Donny gives details about DNA, creation, human Y Chromosomes vs great ape Y Chromosomes, helium in zircon crystals, carbon 14 found in diamonds and more to build a case against the impossibility of evolution being our story of origin, and why only the Biblical creation account can make sense of life as we know it! #creation #evolution #c14 #science #diamonds #life #God #creator #savior #Jesus #Christ #study

In this episode of Campfire Apologetics, Mark sits down with Adam Carmichael (The Tatted Theologian) to talk about the issue of Christians with tattoos. Can a Christian have a tattoo? Can they get one after being saved? They talk about different scriptural passages that are often used as proof texts to show that tattoos are off limits for Christians, and put those passages in their proper context. They also get a bit personal and share parts of their testimonies, who they once were, and who they are now that they are in Christ. #tattoos #sin #pagan # Jesus #christ #God #Bible #context #study #pharisee #legalism

In todays episode of Campfire Apologetics I sit down with Dr. Lydia McGrew, an analytic philosopher and interdisciplinary scholar working in the areas of epistemology and New Testament Studies. We discuss the reliability of the New Testament, specifically diving into the topics of harmonization and undesigned coincidences.

On this episode of Campfire Apologetics, I dig further into the deity of Christ by examining the doctrine of the Trinity. What exactly is the Trinity? Is it a Biblical doctrine? How should Christians explain the trinity? How can we avoid ancient heresies when talking about the Trinity? I broke this episode down into 4 parts. Part 1 - defining the Trinity. Part 2 - scriptural support from both old and New Testament. Part 3 - Common heresies, and Part 4 - The Athanasian creed. The Trinity is foundational and fundamental to Orthodox Christian teaching. Every Christian should be able to articulate this doctrine.

On this episode of Campfire Apologetics, I sit down with Andrew Rappaport of  @StrivingforEternity  ministries to discuss Roman Catholicism. What are some of the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church? What should our highest and final authority be in understanding scripture? The Church (Sola Ecclesia) or Scripture itself (Sola Scriptura)? What is the gospel? Are we saved by faith alone, or faith plus works? Do Catholics have a false gospel? if this topic interests you, this episode is for you!

In this episode of Campfire Apologetics, I explore the world of christian epistemology (how we know what we know) through the lens of two well known philosophical ideas: Descartes' "I think, therefore I am" and Berkley's "If a tree falls in the forrest...." I walk through different epistemological systems such as, rationalism, empiricism, existentialism etc and contrast them with the only worldview that can truly ground truth, logic, induction, and reality: the Christian worldview. Featuring insights from Augustine, C.S. Lewis and Cornelius Van TIl, this episode helps believers spot worldview assumptions and understand why the fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge.

From harmless cartoons, to bestselling books, games and apps, today's children are quietly being initiated into New Age and Occult thinking and teaching. It's usually masked with empowerment, magic, positive energy or good vibes. On this Episode of Campfire Apologetics, I sit down with Marcia Montenegro--former professional astrologer and author of the book Spellbound - to expose how the occult has infiltrated children's entertainment, education and media.

Many new thought and new age ideas have crept into the western Church, one of which being reincarnation. Thats the idea that we are recycled into new life forms when we die to work off past sins. Why do some christians believe this idea? Is this a Biblical concept? Why has this idea made its way into the Church? How should we respond to this? If you have experienced this or have even believed this yourself, then be sure to listen to this episode! #Jesus #God #Bible #Karma #reincarnation #Teach #study #faith #believe #love

On this episode, Mark sits down with The Apologetic Dog (Jeremiah Nourtier) to discuss the Church of Christ. Who are they, what makes them different than any other evangelical Church? Do they preach a different gospel like what Paul warns about in Galatians 1? Is salvation earned by works of faith or by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone? If you would like to understand the Church of Christ and their teachings on a deeper level, then this episode is for you.

In this episode I wanted to zero in on a topic that I believe is important in apologetics. The deity of Christ. This topic can be engaging for witnessing to Atheists, Muslims, Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses, and many more worldview perspectives. This episode specifically addresses Stephen's vision in Acts 7 and how it powerfully supports the truth that Jesus is Yahweh, while also cross referencing Daniel, the Gospels and the early Church. If you have ever struggled with explaining how Jesus is God, this episode is for you! #christianapologetics #defendingthefaith #deityofchrist #JesusisGod #Biblicalapologetics #Acts #SonofMan #SonofGod #RighthandofGod #podcast #Jesus #christian #God #Father #son #holyspirit
