GenZ is the youngest and largest generation in America (born between 2000-2015). They are facing unprecedented challenges when it comes to truth and spirituality. J. Warner Wallace stops by the podcast today to talk about his new book, "So the Next Generation Will Know: Preparing Young Christians for a Challenging World," which is co-written with Sean McDowell.

Marcia Montenegro joins me on today's podcast to talk about pantheism and its close relative, panentheism. We talk about the various expressions of panentheism found in New Age and Progressive Christianity, and discuss whether or not these ideas are biblical. Marcia also gives us her thoughts about panentheist Richard Rohr's new book, which she read and reviewed on her blog. We also talk about Star Wars, Avatar, and whether or not Easter is a pagan holiday.

This week, I had the pleasure of interviewing the author of a new book called, "Authentically Emergent: In Search of a Truly Progressive Christianity," Dr. R. Scott Smith. For several years, Scott has been studying the theology of progressive leaders as well as interacting with them personally. In this episode, we zero in on the progressive view of the body and soul, the gospel, and discuss Scott's agreements and disagreements with these ideas.

I loved getting to talk with Tim Barnett of Stand to Reason about why Christians should learn apologetics. If you or someone you know thinks they don't need apologetics, give this a listen!

These are philosophical ideas that permeate our culture. . .and they contradict Christianity. Our guest, Neil Shenvi will tell you everything you need to know about them.
