Jesus said that He came to fulfill the Old Covenant and it would stay in effect until all was accomplished in it. Jesus having fulfilled it, though, we are no longer under its obligations, including keeping the Sabbath.  In this podcast, Andy explains the Old and New Testament verses that make this clear to us and also examines a few other differences in how God instructs us to act now that we are under the New Covenant.

It is impossible to 'prove' that something doesn’t exist but has science - given its ability to explain everything by natural causes - at least eliminated the need for a god-like entity to exist? In this podcast, Andy explores what science can and can't explain in terms of natural causes and scientific laws and compares it to what the Bible records as being governed by natural laws versus what required supernatural origins. The overlap of the scientific and biblical lists is quite revealing.

Many people point out that though Jesus said He would be in the earth three days and three nights, He did not quite make it that long, given a Friday night to Sunday morning timeline.  In this podcast, Andy explains that Jesus was in the grave for the period of time He foretold. He uses the Bible, of course, to explain the answer to the apparent contradiction.

Christianity today is marked by a myriad of denominations and sub denominations.  But are Christians instructed to do this in the Bible?  No, in fact, just the opposite.  In this podcast, Andy discusses what the Bible has to say on the topic and explains why denominations developed in the first place.

One of the most personal and painful questions asked of a minister by someone is whether God will forgive them (or even could possibly forgive them) for what they have done.  Many asking the question have indeed done some terrible things that have hurt a great many people.  But the good news is that the answer to the question rests not on how bad we are but how good and merciful God is!  We can be forgiven and in this podcast, Andy explores exactly why that is and how we are to go about accepting God's grace and receiving that forgiveness.

When speaking to others about God or praying to Him alone, what are we to call Him?  God gave a description of Himself and a name for Himself to Moses in the Old Testament.  The question of how we are to refer to God is a common one and there are a few mistaken notions related to the topic.  In this podcast, Andy will explore what the Bible says and use the scriptures of the New Testament to provide an answer to the question.

The Bible says that we cannot serve God and money and that the love of money is the root of much evil.  But few specific rules and regulations are given for how a believer should make, spend, invest or give away their money in the New Testament scriptures.  Because we live in a wealthy, capitalist society, many Christians are seeking answers to the question "how much is too much"?  In this podcast, Andy uses biblical foundations to suggest some practical rules for living as a Christ follower in our materialistic age.

Are the teachings of Jesus opposed to capitalism?  Should Christians support or engage in capitalistic activities?  Honest questions such as these are often discussed in Christian circles but not always in a logical and objective fashion.  In this podcast, Andy searches for answers through the lens of a biblical worldview.

A long simmering battle in the Christian world over whether we should use the Old Testament portion of the Bible in our preaching and teaching has gotten a little hotter lately.  Two recent sparing partners have been Andy Stanley and Ken Ham.  So, should Christians in modern day America still rely on Old Testament scriptures and if so, how much and for what?  We do need the Old Testament in order to provide a logical foundation to our faith (which is not to be based purely on emotion) and to answer the questions that naturally arise such as "why is there suffering" and "doesn't science eliminate the need for God"?  In this podcast, Andy explores the issue and uses the Bible to help answer the question.

Relationships are critical to our life, health and happiness.  But human relationships - especially marriage - can be challenging.  Thankfully the Bible offers words of wisdom and guidance.  In this podcast, Andy discusses some specific biblical recommendations to help make our marriages stronger.
