Written Bible
A written Bible is expected and should be wanted. Following the logic that just as we are created beings who communicate in a personal way with language to convey information; we would expect the Creator God to also communicate in a personal way. So not only should we understand that something like the Bible is expected to come from this personal God but it’s also something we should desire out of all the different ways God can communicate to us.

God Is There
God is there and there are things in the world that point to him. We finish the chapter covering how reason, the mind, and science all point to God’s existence. While atheists try and make themselves solely about science, we see their lack of grounding a bigger deal than they seem. As Dr. Mitch Stokes has said, “Many skeptics aren’t skeptical enough.” The skeptics that decry the trust Christians have display the blind faith in Nothing, the creator of everything, or some future explanation not yet seen.

Moral Meaning
Moral meaning values come up when we talk about politics, society, business practices, and other interactions between people and the world. However, when we say that the world isn’t as it should be or that we should do something or we ought not to do something, we are declaring that we believe there’s an idea of perfection to strive towards, the existence of objective value & standards, and objective morality. Where does that ideal and idea come from and which worldview actually accounts for it?

God Is There
God is real and there are real implications from that truth. When critics attempt to end the discussion of asking for proof that God is real they look for only one type of proof. What they look for is evidential, physical proof. But because of the nature of God, that’s the wrong evidence to ask for. Instead, one could look at one of the six reasons the biblical, Christian God must exist. In this episode, we cover the existence of existence for proof of God’s existence to exist.

He’s Written On Everything!
We are beyond delighted and honored to sit down and interview Andreas Köstenberger. Dr. Köstenberger was a co-author in one of our recent chosen books, “Truth In A Culture Of Doubt” which was a response to many of Bart Ehrman’s writings and showing that Christianity provides answers to the critical historians’ claims. Dr. Köstenberger is also a prolific author of over 50 books. We talk about his work ethic, his life, and where he sees the direction of Christian scholarship going. I don’t know how we sat still for this interview!

Salvation – The Relationship Of God & Man
Salvation is the third and final aspect of the Christian worldview to cover to set the stage for why one should believe Christianity. We see that God is able to speak and does speak to His creation. And what He says echoes in eternity.
Even while being the author of our salvation in His incarnation, atonement, and resurrection; God still works in relationship to us so that we might respond in faith and with repentance. He does so that all who will come to believe are drawn to Him.
We are to respond to His calling before the end of our world.

The Origin Of Original Sin
We go from perfect sinlessness to the original sin. But hey, at least we enter the picture finally! One of the things that all worldviews attempt to answer is, “Why are we here?” and “How are things the way they are?” The Christian worldview speaks to both of those things as well. There’s more to the story of course. However, you need to be able to know where you stand before you know which way to go.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N8lBhYxFrf0
Who Is God?
Who is God? Since Christianity is a worldview, we have to understand what that worldview says and where it comes from. Both questions’ answers are found in the revealed nature of who is God. God has the ability and right to be the source of the revelation of Himself. It is found in the nature of Scripture we call The Bible. And we fly through all of Genesis 1:1 in this episode (and just a tad bit of the end of Genesis 1) to present qualities of the Christian worldview as grounded in the person, nature, and revelation of the God of the Bible.

A Faith Test
Is it possible to put truth claims of a faith to a test? Dr. James Anderson showcases a four-fold test for seeing if the whole worldview system of a religion or belief system can be shown to be believable. Not only can this be done in isolation of another belief system but can be done with competing belief systems. A faith test is possible.
