0063 - In this episode we go through Michael Heiser's book "What Does God Want?" What God wants is You!!! We discuss how what God wants is a family - both a human family and a spiritual family. That is why he created us. But we blew it in the Garden and at the Tower of Babel. The Spirit Beings blew it before the Garden and in Genesis 6. We review all of this including the sons of God and the Nephilim. We also discuss how this has huge implications in the storyline of the Mormons and the state of Utah's spiritual darkness. All this and more in under an hour!!

0062 - In this episode in our Apologetics series we finish up our discussion on truth. We talk about why we should believe anything at all? What are good reasons to hold the religious views that you hold? Because your parents believe it? Because your friends believe it? Because your Scriptures say it is true? We discuss why none of these are good reasons to believe something (on its own). That we need good independent reasons to believe that our worldview is true. We talk about what those good reasons are and then why we tend to not want to do the hard work in studying worldviews. All that plus Hume and Kant and more on this episode!!!

0061 - In this episode we take a look at the book of Philippians and how it can help us look at two topics that come up in discussions with Mormons. We first take a look at Chapter 2 and the nature of Jesus. We then take a look at Chapter 3 and our identity in Christ. We talk about imputed Righteousness and why that is such an important doctrine within Biblical Christianity. 

0060 - In the newest episode of our Apologetics Series I start off by recapping the discussion from the last episode in the series about truth. I then get into a discussion about logic and how it can help us determine what is true. I show how many common claims made by people are logically absurd and how you can demonstrate that. Finally, we discuss how the claim of Religious pluralism - that all religions are true - cannot be true. I show how the parable of "The Five Blind Men and the Elephant" doesn't teach pluralism but that there is only one truth. I hope you enjoy!! 

0059 - In this episode we take a look at Martin Luther King Jr.'s "Letter from Birmingham Jail."  In honor of MLK day last week we are taking a look at one of his most famous letters. In this letter he defends his actions in protesting "unjust laws." He roots his understanding of justice and injustice in God. I talk about how that is the only place that could properly ground objective morality. I discuss how the Mormon view of God cannot account for objective morality as it is not grounded in God's nature.  We then talk about modern applications to Dr. King's letter in the area of abortion laws and activism.  A lot to digest - grab a Dr. Pepper and enjoy!!!

0058 - Welcome Back!! After a long hiatus I am finally back to recording the podcast again. Lots has happened since I last recorded so I spend some time in this episode updating listeners on our life and ministry. God has moved us down to Utah County, Utah and we are doing Ratio Christi at Utah Valley University. We are hoping to plant a church and start  Christian Study Centers/Coffee Shops near BYU and UVU (and other places in the future). I hope you enjoy this episode!!

0057 - In this episode of our apologetics series we look at truth! What is truth? Everyone talks about it but what does it mean to say that something is true. We talk about theories of truth vs. tests for truth and then we discuss six truths about truth. We show how all truth is absolute - there are no relative truths! We also discuss how most Christians treat their faith as subjective and not objective. We discuss all of this and more in this episode. This is such an important episode and I try to make it as exciting as possible!!! Hope you enjoy!

0056 - In this episode we interview five students that came with us on our most recent Ratio Christi Applied Apologetics Mission Trip to Utah. We talk to them about why they came and what they learned when they were out here. We also talk about why other students should come on this trip. I hope that you will listen as these students talk about the state of Christianity among their peers and why we need trips like this to challenge Christian students. If you would like to talk to me about scheduling a trip or anything having to do with the ministry please email me at  - [email protected].

0055 - On this episode David Halevy and I discuss our recent Mission trip out here in Utah that we helped lead. At the beginning of June we brought 29 other people out here for a week long mission trip of evangelism and discipleship. In this episode we discuss why our mission trips are different than 95% of mission trips out there and why we think it is so important for all Christians to come on a trip like this. We talk all things mission trip and the plans that we have to do one in Israel next year.  Please let me know if you would be interested in bringing a group out here for a Mission Trip (or just come by yourself) - [email protected]

0054 - In this episode we continue our Apologetics series by looking more into the true worldview. I discuss how biblical christianity and Mormonism cannot both be true. I talk about how most Christians do not have a Christian worldview. I then talk about how we determine the correct worldview (hint...it is Christianity). All that in about thirty minutes!
