Reasoned Hope

In this episode I discuss a common tactic some atheists use when engaged in discussions with believers in God. This strategy rests upon a redefinition of atheism as merely a lack of a belief in God. But is this redefinition legitimate? What is the purpose of this redefinition? Do atheists have to make a rational case for their position or is this something only believers in God must do?

In the second episode of the series on doubt, I discuss some common misunderstandings of the nature of doubt. This is in the attempt to provide more clarity on the topic so that Christians will be better prepared when they encounter doubt in their own walks with God. It also aims to help non-Christians think about doubt when it comes to their own beliefs. 

In this episode, I aim to provide an introduction to the subject of religious doubt. Doubt is something that is not foreign to the Christian faith and we can find many examples in the Bible of those who struggled with doubts of their own. Doubt is also something that everyone experiences, regardless of what they believe. 

I discuss the central hope of Christmas which is found in the idea that Jesus Christ is God Incarnate. I explain what the Incarnation is and why a correct understanding of it is vital to Christian hope. 

In this episode, I take a look at the notion of faith in Christianity. I seek to show how a proper understanding of faith reveals the flaws in a common critique of Christianity given by many skeptics. 

In this episode, I explain what Christian apologetics is and why it matters.

In this first episode of the podcast, I introduce the show and explain why it is named Reasoned Hope. I also talk about the importance of ideas and how what we believe has a direct bearing on the way we live in the world. In addition, I share a bit of my own story on how I came to believe in Christianity as well as why the focus of the podcast is a passion of mine.
