  • Helmut Felzmann & the Significance of the Shroud

    Helmutt Felzmann believes the Shroud of Turin covered Jesus Christ, however he has a non-traditional or "unorthodox" view of what the images mean and the significance they hold which places him in the "Shroud skeptic" camp according to many Pro-Shroud advocates. We discuss his take on the Shroud and the significance of the images.RSM Blog = https://realseekerministries.wordpress.com/2026/11/05/helmut-felzmann-the-significance-of-the-shroud/

  • Loving My Enemies (Part 1B): The SAGA Concludes- Apologizing to Paulogia & the Rabyd Atheist

    Welp, they say that all good things must come to an end, I'm pretty sure that all bad things come to an end as well! Either way, it all comes down to this folks, the SAGA finally concludes as I continue to reflect on my own sins against my enemies Paulogia and the Rabyd Atheist in the Gary Habermas back and forths. This time around, I try to address the Rabyd Atheist in good faith on his issues with Romans 1 and skeptics suffering from volitional doubt.RSM Blog = https://realseekerministries.wordpress.com/2026/11/03/loving-my-enemies-apologizing-to-paulogia-the-rabyd-atheist-hugh-farey-dan-porter/

  • Loving My Enemies (Part 1A): Apologizing to Paulogia, the Rabyd Atheist, Hugh Farey & Dan Porter

    Having done a lot of self-reflection lately, I’ve determined that, while my enemies have behaved sinfully toward me without initial provocation or just cause, I have at times, responded by repaying evil for evil, insult for insult and thus shown hatred and disdain for my fellow image bearers of God. I can easily find fault with them, but have no right to judge while I have also sinned against them in turn.

    I offer a sincere and good faith apology to some of the “enemies” I’ve made over the past 1-2 years or so and wish to take the first step to improving things.

    That said, I include some good faith sarcasm and playful humour in this episode, none of it is intended to offend or said with malicious intent- I’m just trying to add some fun into the mix.

    Anyways, due technical issues, I have to wait until after Nov 20th to finish this series, in Part 1A I address, in good faith, a question that Paulogia left for me in his latest video. I intend to do likewise with the Rabyd Atheist, Hugh Farey and Dan Porter in future parts of this series as soon as I’m able.

  • Why Christianity Still Deserves a Serious Hearing (w/ Douglas Vandergraph)

    Douglas Vandergraph is a Christian creator and long-form Bible-study writer. He joins me for a friendly conversation around why he believes Jesus should be examined on his own terms, what evidence can and cannot establish His truth, how Christians should respond to difficult questions without pretending every answer is simple, and why faith does not require shutting down critical thinking.

  • The Zeitoun Marian Apparition- w/ Expert Dr. Travis Dumsday & Caleb Jackson

    "Our Lady of Zeitoun" was a mass Marian apparition that reportedly occurred in the Zeitoun district of Cairo, Egypt, during a period of about 3 years beginning on 2 April 1968. Thousands of unbelieving Muslims witnessed the event and converted to Coptic Christianity as a result.On this show, I invite an expert on the Zeitoun apparition, Dr. Travis Dumsday, who has written a book entitled, "The Marian Apparitions: An Evidential Inquiry" detailing his in depth research on it. I'm joined by co-host Caleb Jackson who has also done some extensive research on the appearances and has written his own Blog series detailing it.RSM Blog (with free scholarly sources) = https://realseekerministries.wordpress.com/2026/10/03/the-zeitoun-marian-apparition-w-expert-dr-travis-dumsday-caleb-jackson/

  • Shroud Wars Reviewed: The Gary Habermas vs. Hugh Farey Debate

    I return to Guy Powell's Podcast, The Backstory on the Shroud of Turin, to review another one of my Shroud Wars debate; this time, the debate between Resurrection scholar Dr. Gary Habermas (the Pro-Shroud side) and the Ultimate Shroud skeptic Hugh Farey. Majority consensus is that Gary clearly won this debate against Hugh in proving the truth of the Pro-Shroud side, but why? That is the question answered in the second half of this episode where Guy Powell and I assess the arguments made by both sides.Despite Hugh Farey's recent rude, sinful and disrespectful Blog posts against me and my sound logical reasoning in the debate I had against skeptic James Fodor, in this Podcast, I demonstrate to Hugh how a mature, charitable and substantive debate review ought to actually look like, such as the ones I'm more used to in academic circles as opposed to the more sarcastic, one-sided and Holy Spirit deprived gutter-level assessments he gives of me. Buckle up you Shroud skeptics, its time for your education in manners and scholasticism!RSM Blog = https://realseekerministries.wordpress.com/2021/10/26/shroud-wars-gary-habermas-hugh-farey-debate/

About Real Seekers

From the publisher's feed

I'm a person sincerely interested in seeking religious truth, for years I studied and did my best to seek out the truth about God's existence, the existence and nature of the afterlife and which religion might be true and/or endorsed by God. At the end of my searching, I came to the conclusion that Christianity is the religion that God wants me to follow and believe. I hope to help other "real seekers" in their journey to finding the same truth that I did.
