Dan McClellan can’t stop lying about me. In the last month, he’s made 3 long-form videos in response to some of my teachings. And every time, Dan misrepresents my positions, falsely attacks my character, and uses some very cheap and unethical debate tactics. So today, I’m going to show you what Dan gets wrong about me, and more importantly, what he gets wrong about the Bible and Christianity.

In my opinion, the biggest reason why Mormons aren’t Christians is that they deny the Trinity, which means they worship a different God than Christians. And today, we’re going to see what Mormons get wrong about the Godhead and the Trinity by responding to a General Conference message from Jeffrey R. Holland, who was the LDS Church’s second-most senior apostle at the time of his death.

As a Protestant apologist online, I’m sick and tired of seeing my faith misrepresented by Catholics. For example, we hate Mary, we removed books from the Bible, and we have 45,000 denominations that can’t agree with each other. There are many false attacks against Protestantism out there, so in today’s video, we’re looking at 5 things that Catholics need to stop saying about us.Hey!

Bart Ehrman is not the expert he claims to be. And in this video, we’re going to look at four things he’s recently said on his podcast that prove it. From his misunderstandings about Jesus being Yahweh, to thinking that Jesus and Paul contradict each other, to his claims about the New Testament canon, it is clear that he is not a good source of information.

All Christians would agree that we should study the Bible. But do we know how to study it well? Because some well-intentioned Christians read the Bible and then misunderstand. And many others will use the Bible to fit whatever their already held beliefs and biases are. So in today’s video, we’re talking about how to rightly divide the word of truth, and I’ll give you 10 do’s and don’ts of Bible study.

Is feeling like you’re in the wrong body evidence that you actually are in the wrong body? And should we encourage things like hormone replacement therapy and sex reassignment surgery to make the body match what the brain believes? This is what people like Destiny and Dan McClellan argue, but I disagree. So in today’s video, we’ll see some trans-affirming claims, some studies that have been done about gender incongruence, and my perspective as a Bible-believing Christian.

There’s a miraculous difference once Jesus shows up. Today, we’re looking at the first section of John 21 to see the story where the disciples spent all night fishing but didn’t catch anything. But when Jesus shows up and tells them to cast their net on the other side of the boat, they caught so many they couldn’t even lift the net. So in this Bible study, we’ll see what exactly happens here, what we can learn from this story, and at the  end, I’ll give you 5 practical takeaways from this passage.

Can women be pastors? Well, according to the Southern Baptist Convention, the answer is no. But many Christians leaders are pushing back on that, saying that women can. So today, we’ll be looking at a recent sermon where Pastor Kody Woodard of Renovation Church gives his arguments in favor women pastors. And I’ll be responding to his claims, showing you from the Bible why women should not pastor, and why Kody’s arguments are wrong.

As Christians, we look at the Bible, and we have faith in the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus. We believe that it really happened. But in real time, the disciples didn’t always realize that Jesus would rise. Partially due to ignorance and partially due to unbelief, they thought He was just dead, never to return again. But here in John 20, we’re going to see 2 post-resurrection appearances of Jesus. And I’m going to give you 5 practical takeaways from this passage.
