Christ, Culture, & Coffee

Apologetics for the resurrection of Jesus is important, but it is also comforting during hard times. Recently, Tyler and Robby have both been resting in the promises of God while friends and family have been sick, hospitalized, and dying. The Christian hope based on the resurrection of Jesus is not only what validates the message of Jesus, but it is also what comforts us as we experience tragedy. We encourage you to listen to this episode and be edified by the hope we have in Jesus.

We all want to have neat, tidy, discipleship and evangelistic situations present themselves to us. So often we look for the ideal situations and miss out on opportunities to obey Jesus’s words in the Great Commission. In this episode, we look at Acts 16 to see how Paul and Silas utilized a variety of situations to obey the command to make disciples. Some situations are ideal, some are antagonistic, and some are completely undesirable. However, we are not called to obey Jesus when the scenario is perfect but to obey regardless of the scenarios we are in. We hope that you will use the apologetic and theological knowledge of our podcast to disciple others in the ways of Jesus. Apologetics is not merely about knowing why we believe what we believe, it is also about teaching others. We need to make disciples, not excuses.

One of the most dominant views in our current culture is postmodernism. When it comes to the physical universe, naturalism still reigns supreme. However, postmodernism is prevalent when it comes to the metaphysical world. Morality, spirituality, and truth are all viewed as relativistic in our society, and the reason for this is the accepted postmodern viewpoints. In this episode, we take a look at how postmodernism answers the 7 worldview questions. We then see if it is logical, factual, and livable. We hope that this episode will prepare you to talk with people who adhere to a relativistic worldview. We desperately need to show how bankrupt this worldview truly is.

One of the most prevalent worldviews comes from the east. Pantheistic monism is the view held by millions of people who adhere to Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, and other religions. In this episode, we break down the beliefs and assumptions of this worldview, then we assess if it is logical, factual, and livable. If you have not encountered this worldview yet, then we encourage you to listen to this episode. It will help you get a good handle on a view that is very different from how many people in a western culture think. As New Age ideology becomes more popular, many eastern beliefs are making their way into western culture, and we need to be able to help people see the falsehood associated with this worldview as well as help them to see the validity of a Biblical Worldview. We hope that you will use this information to speak truth into the lives of those around you who need to know Jesus and the free gift of eternal life that He offers.

Naturalistic Atheism is a very specific Worldview. Understanding the assumptions and beliefs of this Worldview can help you when discussing your Christian beliefs with your Atheist friends and family. In this episode, we look at the seven basic questions of the atheistic worldview. We then evaluate this view according to these three criteria: 1. is it logical? 2. is it factual? 3. is it livable? Our goal with this podcast is to equip you with good reason and good evidence for the Christian Worldview. One of the ways that we can become better equipped is by investigating other believes and evaluating their truth claims.

The word "worldview" has been a Christian buzzword for the past few decades, but what is it? Not properly understanding the impact of a person’s worldview can lead to misunderstanding when we try to evangelize. We want to help bring clarity to what a worldview is and give you an easy to remember template of 7 questions that every worldview needs to answer. We will also define what a worldview is and give some practical criteria for evaluating if a worldview is true or false. We hope that this episode will equip you to think critically about your own view of the world as well as other worldviews.

Slogans and mantras are used to promote specific ideologies within a culture. We often hear slogans so much that they become ingrained in our thinking and we do not scrutinize them as we should. In this week’s episode, we discuss logical fallacies and how to spot bad logic in mantras and slogans that we often hear regarding LGBTQ+ ideology. We need to assess arguments based on their reason and evidence, but so often slogans lack both. Instead, our culture seems to be content with promoting strong emotional pleas, circular reasoning, name-calling, and appeals to popularity. We hope that this episode will help you to spot these logical fallacies in common cultural slogans, as well as talk with your friends, family, and neighbors about the reasons for holding to a biblical sexual ethic.

For the past few decades, there has been a dispute about the word arsenokoitai, which has been translated as “homosexual,” in 1 Corinthians 6:9 and 1 Timothy 1:10. Currently, there is a movie in development called 1946, which is about this dispute. The 1946 movie, which is being made by pro-LGBTQ+ Christians, suggests that this error has caused a lot of pain and confusion over what God says about homosexuality. In this episode, we want to look at the arguments about the word that Paul uses in 1 Corinthians and 1 Timothy to see what the original Greek meaning was. By looking into the word, where it was derived from, and how we can know what it means, we hope to show that the claims of the 1946 movie are irrelevant to what Scripture says about homosexuality and that the longstanding interpretation of both Old and New Testaments are accurate in stating homosexual sex is a sin. We hope this episode will help you to think clearly about what Scripture says and that it will also equip you to talk with your friends, family, and neighbors about this issue in light of the arguments proposed in the 1946 movie.

Standing for truth is difficult. Many Christians are feeling pressure from our culture to conform and to back down from their beliefs. This is something that we cannot do, but the constant cultural pressure can feel overwhelming. So what do we do? In this week’s episode, we look at what Jesus said about enduring hardships for His name. He gives us practical advice for standing firm in the faith while being slandered or persecuted. We hope that this episode will encourage you and help you to focus on the Word of God as you stand for Jesus in a hostile culture.
