Facts are facts, but they must be meaningful for us to change our lifestyles. We can study the historicity of Christianity, so what? Is it truly worth changing our lives around for this Jesus guy? My Christian friends, we have the privilege of seeing our life before and after placing our faith in God. This is why we share our testimonies.

Narrative Apologetics by Alister E. McGrath

Self-helpism is a multibillion-dollar industry that teaches that through the power of positive thinking, self-examination, and goal setting that we can achieve the greatest versions of ourselves, but is it as good as it sounds? As someone who used to be infatuated with self-improvement, these are the dangers no one told me about. I learned the hard way that we cannot be both the problem and the solution.

What about the other gospels like the gospel of Thomas? Did Christians pick and choose the gospels that only made Jesus look like God? In today's episode, we investigate these so-called "gnostic gospels."

Christians, we're called to be experts in our culture. We must get it. We have to see a need for Jesus in order to bring up Jesus. How are we supposed to share the gospel if we do not know how to communicate with the world? We must understand the world to then evangelize the world. Today's episode looks at the shifting cultural narrative and what Jesus says instead.

If you feel uncomfortable sharing your faith with those who are not Christ-followers, you and I have something very in common, friend. It's scary and uncomfortable to bring up the gospel in a place other than church. I get it, but on the other hand, isn't this what it means to follow Christ? We're called to share who Jesus is and how He changes everything. Within our family, at work, and even as we buy groceries, we see so many hurting people that are longing for something greater. Could Jesus be the solution we're looking for?

"I do not mind your religion. I just do not want to have to give up my sins and desires." Does that resonate with you? I have tried the ways of this world and I have also tried the ways of Jesus. Though sin is alluring and seems inviting, it's not worth it. I have learned the hard way. Can I share with you my experience?

A worldview seeks to answer four questions. Where did we come from? Why are we here? What is wrong with the world? How can we fix it? Society tends to favor a naturalistic approach but in the end, we are left with the reality that we have no purpose. May I introduce you to what my worldview says? Through the Christian lens, we see that life has meaning. We have a purpose. We are given worth from God alone.

Nearly 2000 years ago, Pontius Pilate asked a question that is the cry of our culture today, "what is truth?" Truth is relative. Truth changes. There is no absolute truth, or is there? If there is no absolute truth, we cannot make any claims about what is right or wrong. Something about that statement does not sit right with us, even if it's true. My worldview says that absolute truth exists and has a name. Truth exists and His name is Jesus. Let me explain.

What would it take for you to say you have true freedom? To some maybe a dream college, job, or person comes to mind. To others maybe it is the ability to do anything and everything without anyone telling you otherwise. We're not nearly as free as we think we are. Today's episode tackles this very idea of what true freedom looks like and it begins and ends with Jesus. Don't knock my worldview until you try it.

"Aren't we better off without Christians?" In this week's episode, we skim through John S. Dickerson's book, Jesus Skeptic. It looks at the fields of science, medicine, education, and more and discovers the role Christianity played in major and minor advancements. Not all Christians are called to work in the church, so where have we seen God put people to work? How did Jesus influence the world? He can only be One of the three: liar, lunatic, or Lord. Who is this Jesus?
