Quick update on the new format I'm moving to so I can actually start producing regular content. Thanks for sticking with me and continuing to encourage me to continue putting out content!

Have you ever wondered why God asked Abraham to sacrifice Isaac? Does it seem out of character for God to ask something like that? Listen in as we look at the main hyperlinks in this important biblical account that point us to something much bigger.

In this episode, I tie part of my testimony in with my heart behind this podcast. When and how do you move from milk to meat as you grow in your salvation?

Biblical References (NIV):

"Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation, now that you have tasted that the Lord is good." -1 Peter 2:2-4

"We have much to say about this, but it is hard to make it clear to you because you no longer try to understand. In fact, though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the elementary truths of God’s word all over again. You need milk, not solid food! Anyone who lives on milk, being still an infant, is not acquainted with the teaching about righteousness. But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil. Therefore let us move beyond the elementary teachings about Christ and be taken forward to maturity..." - Hebrews 5:11-6:1a

"I gave you milk, not solid food, for you were not yet ready for it. Indeed, you are still not ready. 3 You are still worldly. For since there is jealousy and quarreling among you, are you not worldly? Are you not acting like mere humans?" - 1 Corinthians 3:2-3

Hey everyone, welcome to this bonus episode. I wanted to make a separate episode to cover some important updates so I didn't take time away from any of the other topics. Listen in as I share a new way for you to stay up to date with the latest episodes, talk about additional written content you can follow along with, talk about my first guests that will be on in July, and share how you can be on the show as a guest.

As promised, here is the resource I mentioned in the episode. Check out this video from Wes Huff on his YouTube channel where he debunks some common myths from Billy Carson on a recent podcast. I highly recommend following his channel if you find this video helpful...

In this episode, I am excited to dive into one of my favorite topics, Christian apologetics. What is Christian apologetics? It's being able to give a reason or defense for the things we believe in.

In this first episode, I laid the groundwork on this topic. I explain the purpose and the right motive behind studying apologetics and point you to some great resources (links provided below). Finally, I end the episode by playing a sample conversation from one of my favorite apologists, Frank Turek.

If you have specific questions or topics related to apologetics that you want me to address in future episodes, send them to [email protected]
