In this week's episode, Pastor Bob takes a look at something we've all been excited to see at some point in our lives: The rainbow. It's a natural phenomenon that scientists couldn't explain for years but has kept humanity in amazement. However, the earliest recorded account of a rainbow available to man is found in the bible. It tells of God's promise to not judge the earth in the same way again through the Noahic Covenant, but rather provide Himself as the sacrifice to save humanity through the man of Jesus Christ. Rainbows represent the grace, the unmerited favor, that God has lavished upon mankind. 

The Bible is the bestselling book each year and of all time. It is the single greatest preserved artifact of antiquity. It transcends both eastern and western cultures. In today's episode, Abdu Murray and Mike Guaglione join Pastor Bob Guaglione as they talk about the beauty, preservation, application of the Bible and why the Bible is a reason to believe in God.

What occurred on May 14th, 1948 was a modern day miracle. Throughout all of history, no other nation has ever ceased to be a nation and come back. In this episode, Bob Guaglione uncovers Israel's return as a recognized nationstate as his 8th reason for belief in God. 

We'll cover Jewish history, prophecy, Zionist movements, and Biblical references that all point towards evidence of God's involvement. As Israel continues to make newspaper headlines and continues to be a hot topic in the intersection of politics, religion, and history, we encourage you to think more about the God of Israel, the story of the Jewish people, and what that means for us today.

In this week's episode, Pastor Bob explores the genius of marriage. And not just any idea of marriage, but the idea defined by the Bible, the oldest record of a covenant relationship or union. The genius of marriage leads to strong families that become strong communities, churches, and, therefore, strong nations. He explains the unique account of how the institution of marriage was created—before law, or any other institution, or even worship, there was marriage. 

Book references from this episode are from The Case for Marriage: Why Married People are Happier, Healthier and Better Off Financially by Linda J. Waite and Maggie Gallagher.

In conjunction with the Easter holiday we all just celebrated, Pastor Bob tackles his next reason of belief in God—the most supreme reason in his opinion—the resurrection of Jesus Christ. In this episode, we'll explore evidence that Christianity is a historical faith and that we are living in the ripples of the weekend that quite literally changed the world.

We interact with this reason on a daily basis. Water is life giving. Water is essential. Water is beautiful. Water is perplexing. When you get into the nitty gritty of it, the intricate details and cruciality of water point to us towards design and a Creator.

In this episode, you'll hear clips from Michael Denton on his work, "The Wonder of Water" and Eric Metaxas, NYT Bestselling Author and contributor various cable networks. His newest book, "Is Atheism Dead?" reveals that over the last 60 years, science has been pointing us towards existence of God, not away.
