What's it like to run a marathon? What's the point of running a marathon? What was involved in earning my Ph.D.? Or, more broadly, what has caused us today to want things to be so easy? Why should you ever do something difficult? Come and laugh and think with me about something we do our diligent best to avoid: hard work.

What makes one a Christian? Good works? Being nice? Humility? Love? What is the core, the center, of the Christian life? Today there are all manner of pretender answers to that question. Come and think deeply with me about your identity in the Lord.

Christians commonly believe that all sins are equal, but does the Bible teach that? Did Jesus teach that? Why does God command harsher punishments for some crimes/sins than others? Why did Jesus say there would be greater punishments in the life to come for some sins more so than others? In the eyes of God, is lust equal to rape? In Roman Catholicism, what are mortal and venial sins?

This is a quick hitter. Do only philosophers have a worldview? Or do religious people have one, too? Is it normal to not have a worldview? How does understanding one's worldview help one understand oneself? Christians, do you know why you believe what you believe?

Part 3 of 3 of my interview w/Dr. Greg Austring about worldview. How should the Church and Christians engage Christian mission? Should we totally accommodate or entirely resist culture? On what things should we never compromise regarding Christ and his Gospel? Does the Church ever have anything to learn from Society, or is Society only to be learning from the Church? Is "new" always and everywhere good? And really, what was the original perfect form of the Gospel?

Today isn't today for no reason. All kinds of philosophies and turns and twists across western history landed us on this doorstep. In this, my second, interview w/Dr. Greg Austring, himself a missionary to Guatemala for 10 years, we will explore the Pre-Modern, Modern, and Postmodern eras and address how those unique eras affected Christianity. You might see your own self in a new light. Come think and laugh with us!

What comprises a worldview? Don't people merely live based on their beliefs? How do behaviors shape our understanding of reality? How should we think about worldviews that are not our own? This humor-filled interview w/Dr. Greg Austring will address questions like those and help Christians think about their own worldview. Come think and laugh with us.

The producers of the new Living Biblically sitcom have taken a pretty big risk. I like that they've brought religion into the public conversation. What do they get right? Where have the missed the point? Give this 8 minute podcast a listen. :)

Western society is in love with love. Yet, how do we, should we, define love? If love is the bottom line for life-together, just what is love? Christians will want to know how the Bible defines love. 1 John 4:8 says, "God is love." What does that mean? What does that mean inside its own context? Come and think and laugh with me!

Does our brain control our sex or does our sex control our brain? Why are men and women at odds in the West? Why can't we see the beauty that is each, female and male? What happens to us regarding our sex during gestation? During puberty? Why is their such open hatred for male and female? How do the book of Genesis and genetics align? We are "sexed" beings from the moment of our conception, so why does the radical Left want to eliminate the sexes and their unique contributions?
