  • There Must Be Sexual Boundaries, But Where's The Line?
    "We can see how pedophilia, polygamy, etc have their issues. What is inherently so wrong about same-sex? What if all the other parameters of a same-sex couple are spot on with what Christians should be/do? Why would that criteria mess up everything?" I will address this question and more in today's show!

  • A Better Explanation for Complex Biochemical Systems (Dr. Fazale Rana)
    If the universe is fit for life, and biochemical systems are fit for their role in life, is it possible that everything is "fit for a purpose"?
    Biochemist Fazale “Fuz” Rana is VP of Research and Apologetics at Reasons to Believe, an organization dedicated to communicating the powerful scientific support for Christianity. His books include "Origins of life," "Who Was Adam?," "Creating Life in the Lab," "Humans 2.0," "Thinking about Evolution," and "Fit for a Purpose."

  • How The Pro-Life Movement Supports Abortion-Vulnerable Women (Natasha Smith)
    "So many pro-life individuals don't understand what makes an unplanned pregnancy difficult or the fear factors that can validate a woman's choice to abort. Likewise, few women know about the many resources that could empower them to choose life. These real stories can both inform the church about the need for pro-life expression and offer tangible ways to love our neighbors well through unplanned grace."
    Natasha Smith serves as the Creative Projects Manager at Save the Storks where she supports the pro-life movement by telling stories through writing, video, and photography. Her academic background is in communications and biblical theology and is currently seeking a Masters in Old Testament from Denver Seminary. Her love for the pro-life cause is grounded in the understanding that all life has value because every life is created in the image of God (Gen. 1:27).
