The Hitched Apologists

Join us on our final episode of the Fall. Today we are discussing Biblical Inerrancy. This is something close to our hearts as well as our guests heart. The incredible Dr. Richard G. Howe is with us today. Richard G. Howe is a writer as well as a public speaker and debater in churches, conferences, and university campuses on issues concerning Christian apologetics and philosophy. He is Norman L. Geisler Chair of Christian Apologetics at Southern Evangelical Seminary where he also serves as Professor of Philosophy and Apologetics and as the Provost. Dr. Howe is Past President of the International Society of Christian Apologetics. In their free time, Richard and his wife Rebekah enjoy international travel. This topic is something we’ve wanted to talk about for a while now and there is no one better the Dr. Howe. This was an important issue for Dr. Geisler and it should be for all of us who want to keep the integrity of The Word of God. Thank you for tuning in.

(This week is a replay of an episode from last season. We thought it fitting for this season again. We have a new episode uploading in a few weeks, thanks for tuning in.) We are joined by Dr. Douglas Groothius to discuss the New Age. As Christians, it’s important to have biblical discernment when we confront those in the New Age. Doug is a professor, philosopher, apologist, and an author of 20 books including many on the New Age. We highly recommend picking up and reading his books “Unmasking the New Age”, “Confronting the New Age” and “Revealing the New Age Jesus” on this subject. We had a wonderful time interviewing him. A full uncut episode is also available on YouTube. Thanks for tuning in!

Description from NM Suncast Podcast.

“In this episode of New Mexico Suncast, Jim Williams sits down with Don and Damara Andrade—parents, Christian apologists, and creators of A Parent’s Guide to 125+ Explicit Books in Albuquerque Public Schools. Together, they break down their findings on graphic sexual content embedded in K-12 school libraries, the dangers of early exposure, and the growing movement of concerned parents pushing back.

This conversation isn’t about banning ideas—it’s about protecting innocence, restoring common sense, and respecting parental rights in a culture where kids are often left defenseless. Whether you're a parent, grandparent, educator, or just someone who cares about kids—you’ll want to hear this.

“Do humans have an innate tendency to believe in supernatural beings? One theory suggests that religion may be biologically hardwired through a cognitive mechanism called Hyperactive Agency Detection (HAD). This instinct, which evolved to detect predators and threats in the wild, may also explain why people attribute events to gods, spirits, or supernatural forces. However, some researchers argue that religion is primarily a cultural and social construct rather than a biological one. This video explores the science, psychology, and ongoing debate about whether belief in the divine is an evolutionary adaptation or a product of human civilization.“
