After learning about God, we now are trying to see how this God has communicated with us. If you haven't yet, go back and listen to the faith episodes on evidence for a creator and purpose of life. This is the first of many episodes addressing evidences for why we can trust the Bible as a historically accurate, authoritative source of divine communication. Love God, love people, love travel, love life!

Love God, love people, love travel, love life!

zoroastrianism... what? I had not heard of this until I started researching monotheism. This is definitely a crash course, so if you want more resources please dm me! Monotheism and polytheism are the two categories that make up world religions aside from the religion of atheism. In this episode, I share what I know about the two subjects and ask you to be open to continuing to look at the evidences before closing your mind to monotheism. Love God, love people, love travel, love life!

are there any convincing reasons or logical proofs to support the existence of a creator (aka a spiritual being, God)? great question! this episode explores the Kalam cosmological argument and offers insight to the history and support for it. For more resources, be sure to check out the Biblestorming podcast, The Daily Apologist, and books by Lee Strobel. :) Love God, love people, love travel, love life!
