January 04, 2026 How Philosophical Ideas Influence Art Movements That Shape the Way People Think
Art is more than just pretty paintings and catchy music. Art is often used as a medium for the communication of ideas about life, meaning, and morality. Artists are often influenced by movements in philosophy that advance various ideas. There have been three main movements in the history of philosophy: the premodern, modern, and postmodern eras. Art movements have also tracked with these philosophical movements, echoing their ideas and communicating their thoughts. In this video, Adam explores this history of philosophy influencing art, and a special guest, artist Jeremy Goodding (‪@jeremygoodding268‬) joins to discuss his work.To see more about Jeremy Goodding and his work, see here: https://jeremygoodding.com/

February 07, 2025 You Only Believe in Christianity Because You Were Raised in a Christian Culture
Is it true that we only believe in Christianity because we were raised in a Christian culture? This argument claims that if our religious beliefs are only relative to the arbitrary place in which we were born, then we can’t trust them to be true. However, this is a poor argument. To see why, we can ask this: Why limit this to just our religious beliefs? What about our political, moral, scientific, or philosophical beliefs? Are those simply fixed by where we were born? Should that cause us to discount them?

January 18, 2025 Why Do Conservatives Like Ayn Rand?
Ayn Rand was an influential thinker who lived during the 20th century, and many conservatives and libertarians have appreciated her ideas, particularly her championing of freedom of speech, capitalism, and individual rights. However, Ayn Rand was an outspoken atheist who did not like religion or Christianity. So how should we, as Christians, approach the ideas of Ayn Rand?

December 07, 2024 There Have Been Thousands of Religions, So Why Is Yours Correct?
Have you ever seen claims like this floating around social media? “There have been thousands of religions, so how do you know yours is true?” “You don’t believe in thousands of gods; we just believe in one less.” Statements like this make faulty assumptions about how our religious beliefs work. Just because people have slightly different descriptions of the supreme being that doesn’t mean these ideas are all drastically different. In fact, they are mostly similar, and shows that the vast majority of people and cultures have concluded that there is, in fact, a supreme being – God.

November 16, 2024 Similarities Between the First Cause Argument and the Moral Argument?
Have you ever noticed how the moral argument for God is somewhat like the first-cause (or cosmological) argument for God? At the core of the first-cause argument is the idea that, if we notice a sequence of causes, then there must be either an infinite regress of causes or there was an ultimate first cause. However, the moral argument functions much in the same way. G. E. Moore introduced the idea of the “open question”: if we say that something is good, then the following question can always be asked: “What makes that thing good?” Any answer you give to that question can also have the same question asked of it: “Well, then that makes that thing good?” This causes an infinite regress unless, of course, there is one thing that is just ultimately good.

October 31, 2024 Should We Use Apologetics Methods Simply Because They Work?
Are traditional methods of apologetics outdated? Does giving arguments for God or providing evidence that Jesus rose from the dead actually convince anyone? Should we instead only use apologetic methods that "work"? Some try to disparage traditional apologetic methods, claiming that they really don't convince anyone, and that other things like personal stories or emotional appeals are what really convince people to change their minds. But is simply making Christianity more “attractive” or “desirable” a better approach for apologetics?

September 22, 2024 Is It Wrong to Legislate Morality?
Sometimes Christians are accused of trying to "legislate morality." What does that mean? Is it wrong to bring our moral values to the table when making legislation? This objection is often made with hot-button issues like abortion, but what about rape or murder? Is it "legislating morality" to outlaw those actions? We all have certain beliefs about reality, but are these beliefs moral beliefs? philosophical beliefs? religious beliefs? scientific beliefs? It can be hard to label or classify our beliefs, and thus oftentimes the objection against "legislating morality" is simply an appeal to rhetoric rather than substance.
