Christians will tell you that we can trust the Bible because the disciples died for their belief in Jesus, but isn't that a weak argument? People die for lies all the time, atheist Richard Carrier says so and I agree with him. In today's episode, we investigate the significance of this claim and what this implies about the reliability of the Bible.

Naturalism is the belief that everything about our universe can be explained with natural laws and forces, but if that's true, humans have no ontological worth or value. This breaks my heart most about atheism. But here's the thing, I think you do know people have worth. I think your worldview actually more aligns with Christianity. Let me explain.

Jesus is irrelevant if the Bible is flawed. I believe this. In today's episode, we explore two major questions. Do we have accurate copies of the original documents written in the first century? Are these documents true? Either the Christian worldview is true or it is not. If it is true, everything about what we understand about life changes.

When it comes to defending the faith, it can be intimidating when the person you're talking to seems to know way more than you. I share a story that I'm not particularly proud of, but hopefully, you can learn from my mistakes. Who wrote the Bible? Was it changed several times? How can we even trust it? Find out in today's episode.

We want more and it seems like even with manifestations, the power of positive thinking, and the stars aligning perfectly, it seems like long-term fulfillment is impossible. This leads to us raising the stakes or chasing something new. It's this endless cycle of trying to find what will satisfy our deepest desires. What if our needs are not physical, but rather, spiritual? In today's episode, we talk about Love is Blind and it actually points to Jesus.

My high school history teacher, along with many, will claim that Jesus never said, "I am God." You are completely right. Those words never came out of Jesus' mouth, but I'd argue Jesus did claim to be God. In today's episode, we investigate Jesus' words and the ways in which He communicated this in the context of their culture and religion.

We have this tendency to always want more. It's "trust the science" until the science ironically does not align with your opinion, then it's labeled as "bad science." You've seen this with current events. When it comes to Christianity, it's not that there is not enough evidence, but that maybe you've already have made up your mind. If that's the case, your story is not over. My worldview offers eternal life, so would you be willing to see who this Jesus is?

Does the Bible say "God will never give us more than we can handle?" It seems to be a common phrase, but what does that mean when we go through the unbearable? Our world was torn between who made the "better" decision: Simone Biles or Kerri Strug. Are we supposed to always push through it or can we take a step back for the sake of our mental health? Can I share with you what the gospel says?

Facebook, I see where you're coming from. I get your good intentions, but I think censorship according to our culture's view of misinformation will lead to disaster. When there is no such thing as absolute truth, it can be difficult to discern. Here's why I think censorship is dangerous.

The resurrection is essential to the faith, but did Jesus really rise from the dead? Is it possible that Jesus swooned? Did the Roman guards steal the body? Did the women go to the wrong tomb? Today, we speed through some of the most common conclusions based on four facts that nearly all scholars agree upon. What happened to this Jesus?
