The Sean McDowell Show

What was it like growing up in the occult? Today, business guru Christopher Lind shares his story publicly for the first time. He has an incredible experience to tell us about growing up with a mother and family who was involved in a cult. After escaping that he eventually became a Christian, but then (sadly!) almost persuaded away from the faith by a well-meaning pastor. Hope you enjoy and find his story compelling.

The Barna Research Group's latest study on pornography is eye-opening and profoundly disturbing. The percentage of Christians who view porn, and have no problem with it, is shocking. And this is only the beginning of their findings. In this video, Sean and Dr. Scott Rae analyze ad discuss the "Beyond the Porn Phenomenon" study in depth. Please watch and share this with others.

Although Sean and Coleman Hughes have different worldviews, they discuss some of the most challenging topics today including Qs such as: Is America racist? Should we be a color-blind society? Is critical race theory a genuine concern? Why is there something rather than nothing? And who was Jesus?

How did a Christian become an atheist at a Bible college, then 25 years later, convert back to his faith? Dr. John Wise is the host of The Christian Atheist podcast. He has taught as an adjunct professor of philosophy at East Stroudsburg University, Grand Canyon University, and is currently teaching ethics and informal logic at the University of Arizona, Global Campus. Today, he tells us what changed his mind from Christianity to Atheism and then back to Christianity.

How can Christians live faithfully in our present moment? What does it mean to stand strong today? In this video, I talk with Natasha Crain about her latest book FAITHFULLY DIFFERENT. We discuss a range of cultural issues and offer some practical advice for Christians to live out their convictions today.

Can Morality be explained without God? Dr. Michael Shermer is the Founding Publisher of Skeptic magazine, the host of the Science Salon Podcast, and a Presidential Fellow at Chapman University. Today, he's here to argue that science can explain morality better than God.

Earlier this week, Dr. Jay Richards and I went live to discuss the 20-year update to his classic book THE PRIVILEGED PLANET. We laid out the case that our place in the cosmos is evidence for design, and discussed how the argument is even stronger today. Now we take your questions LIVE!

How can God command genocide and slavery? Why doesn't the Bible clearly condemn polygamy? As a Christian, I get these kinds of questions regularly. In this video, I get to talk with Jewish talk show host (and Bible commentator) Dennis Prager about these questions and other tough ones from the Old Testament. Let us know what you think!

20 years ago, Jay Richards and Guillermo Gonzalez released a provocative book: "The Privileged Planet." They argued that Earth is not an insignificant blip on the universe’s radar. Rather, there is a staggering array of scientific evidence that our location is the cosmos is the result of design. In this video, I talk with Dr. Jay Richards about how the evidence for our privileged status has grown over the past 20 years. PLEASE write in your questions or objections and we are going LIVE this Friday, 10am, to tackle the toughest ones.
