  • Why Doesn't God Just Show Up & Prove Himself? (Dr. Tim Stratton)
    “In fact, of all the arguments for and against God's existence (and I've heard them all) this is the most powerful I have encountered in support of the atheist position. A tour de force."” - Michael Shermer, Publisher Skeptic Magazine
    Divine hiddenness is a problem that many people have to work through. Skeptics claim this is one of the best objections against God and in support of atheism. Today's show will look at this argument, see where it breaks down, and provide a thoughtful theological and philosophical response.

  • It's Possible God Exists & He's Better Than You Think (Dr. Paul Gould)
    "The deep longing of the human heart is for a story that is both true and satisfying." But how can we know which story is true?

Dr. Paul Goul looks at 11 clues to understand the universe at our place in it and encourages you to adopt a different posture toward the question of God.
    Dr. Paul Gould is associate professor of philosophy and director of the philosophy of religion master's program at Palm Beach Atlantic University.

  • The Best Lies Sound The Most Beautiful (Alisa Childers)
    Live your truth. Follow your heart. You only have one life to live. God just wants you to be happy. Love is love. These cultural statements flood our news feeds and sound so positive, but are they true? In order to Think Well we must discern the messages we see and compare them to biblical truth.
    Alisa Childers joins me to discuss her new book, "Live Your Truth and Other Lies: Exposing Popular Deceptions That Make Us Anxious, Exhausted, and Self-Obsessed." This show will help you evaluate popular lies by looking at what Scripture has to say.

  • Famous Movies Reveal Our Desire for an Ultimate Hero (Dr. Frank Turek)
    Instead of ignoring culture or simply imitating it, what if Christians took it seriously and thought well about how they could incorporate its valuable truths into our teaching? This is what the apostle Paul did with the Athenian leaders at Mars Hill (Acts 17:16-31). What would it look like in our day?
    Dr. Frank Turek is the president of CrossExamined.org and the coauthor of "I Don't Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist." Zack Turek is an officer in the United States Air Force and a graduate of Southern Evangelical Seminary. Together they have authored the book, "Hollywood Heroes: How Your Favorite Movies Reveal God."

  • How Jesus Followers Have Shaped Everything (Dr. Jeff Myers)
    It's shocking how the narrative of human history has changed. Students are being taught that religion (Christianity) is the cause of the world's problems. The truth may surprise you! Dr. Jeff Myers joins me to discuss how Jesus followers have, and can, transform the world in times of crisis.
    Dr. Jeff Myers is the president of Summit Ministries. Summit is an organization that equips and supports the rising generation to embrace God's Truth and champion a biblical worldview. Dr. Jeff is one of America's most respected authorities on Christian worldview, apologetics, and youth leadership development.

  • 2 Bad Arguments Against Christianity
    Does an all-knowing God make free will an illusion? Since heaven is without sadness, does mean that we won't be ourselves? These two arguments were put forth in posts that students sent my way. Let's work through these bad arguments and learn to think well.
