Some claim Jesus’ silence before skeptics proves apologetics is unnecessary – but is that really what the Bible teaches? Join Dr. Joe Holden and Dr. Patrick Zukeran as they explore key passages often misused by fideists, from Matthew 12 to 1 Corinthians. You’ll see how reason, evidence, and the Spirit work together to point people to Christ.

Did Jesus ever refuse to give evidence for His claims? In this episode of Paratus, Dr. Joe Holden and Dr. Patrick Zukeran tackle the so-called “anti-apologetic” passages and the challenge of fideism – the idea that faith needs no reason. Together they reveal why Jesus sometimes withheld evidence, and why Christianity remains a reasonable faith rooted in both revelation and truth.

From the stars in the heavens to the moral law written on our hearts, the Bible gives us compelling reasons to believe in God. In this episode, Dr. Patrick Zukeran walks us through the apologetic arguments Jesus affirmed, from creation to conscience. It’s a conversation that will deepen your faith and equip you to engage a questioning world.

On this episode, Dr. Patrick Zukeran unpacks how Jesus and the biblical authors used arguments for God’s existence. From the cosmological to the moral and existential arguments, we explore how the Old and New Testaments provide a solid foundation for faith in the one true God. These timeless truths help us present the gospel in a world searching for meaning and truth.

Did Jesus really see Himself as the fulfillment of prophecy – or did the early Christians read too much into the Old Testament? In this episode, we’ll look at how Jesus explicitly identified Himself with messianic prophecies, made predictions that were fulfilled in His lifetime, and revealed God’s plan through typology and dual fulfillment. We’ll also show why prophecy remains one of the strongest evidences for the Bible’s divine inspiration and for Jesus’ claim to be the Son of God.

Prophecy was central to Jesus’ mission, as He repeatedly pointed to the Old Testament to show that He was its fulfillment. On today’s broadcast, we’ll explore how Jesus used prophecy as an apologetic tool, from declaring His resurrection in advance to affirming that the Scriptures “testify of Me.” We’ll also examine how the New Testament writers faithfully applied prophecy, not by cherry-picking, but by demonstrating how Christ fulfilled the deepest messianic themes of the Old Testament.

Critics often say Jesus never claimed to be God, but a closer look at His discourses tells another story. In this episode, we’ll examine how Jesus’ words – backed by His works – affirmed His divine authority and shook the Jewish world of His day.
