Some questions about faith just don’t seem to make sense — like baseball’s weird rules. ⚾

In this “Make It Make Sense” episode, Val O’Brien, Kyle Hoffsmith, and Mike McGarry take on the hardest-to-explain parts of Christianity and help them click.

💭 Together they wrestle with questions like:

Why are lying and murder both considered sin?

Why did Jesus have to rise from the dead?

Is believing in the Trinity believing in three gods?

If the universe is so big, why is there only life on Earth?

Why is it so hard to stay with Jesus when others say it’s easy?

If you’ve ever said, “Wait… that doesn’t add up,” this one’s for you.
