🎧 Host(s): Dr. Christopher Cali, Pastor Chris Heimerle, Ashley Cali, and Robby Mckinney.

Episode Summary:

In this episode, we dive headfirst into one of the most provocative and unavoidable claims in Christianity: Jesus didn’t just teach about God, He claimed to be God. Through a wide-ranging conversation, we unpack different approaches to apologetics, why the Bible doesn’t try to “prove” God’s existence, and how reason, history, and Scripture work together to support the Christian faith. The discussion builds toward the central issue of the first-century church and still today: the Trinity and the authority of Jesus.

Key Discussion Points:

· General Revelation and Human Accountability: Creation andreason point toward God, but they don’t lead to salvation apart from Scripture.

· Historical Reliability of the Bible: Why the Bible stands upas a credible historical document, even by secular standards.

· The Resurrection as the Turning Point: Jesus’ resurrection isnot symbolic or optional; it is central to Christianity’s truth claims.

· Why Apologetics Have Limits: Evidence can strengthen faith, but salvation ultimately requires the work of the Holy Spirit.

Takeaways:

1. Faith is not irrational. Christianity stands up to reason, evidence, and history

2. Apologetics can point toward truth, but only God can change the heart

3. The resurrection is not just meaningful, it’s foundational

4. The Trinity isn’t a side doctrine; it’s the core issue of who Jesus is
