In a world of weak theology and shallow faith, Christian men need to get serious about knowing what—and why—they believe. In this powerhouse episode of Worldview Legacy Today, Joel Settecase breaks down the Top 20 Apologetics Books Every Christian Should Read—the essential reading list for any man who wants to think clearly, argue biblically, and lead fearlessly. From Van Til to Voddie Baucham, Chesterton to James White, this is a call to arms for thinkers, leaders, and defenders of truth.

• Why Always Ready and Against All Opposition are must-reads for presuppositionalists

• Which modern authors are still fighting for biblical truth in a culture gone mad

• How to build your personal library to become a worldview leader for your family and church

• The single most important book of all time—and how to live in it, not just visit it

One of the biggest misconceptions atheists have about Christianity is that it doesn't make any sense—especially the Trinity. In this video I explain why the Trinity is the ONLY concept of God that makes sense.

If you're a Christian, watch this and learn how to defend your faith. If you're an atheist, may Random Chance bless you.

Is the Bible we read today the same one the prophets, apostles, and early church had? In this episode, we put the Scriptures under the microscope—textual criticism, the Dead Sea Scrolls, manuscript counts, famous variants (like John 7:53–8:11 and Mark 16:9–20), and the claim of “400,000 errors.” We’ll show why the integrity of the Bible matters for the Gospel, for trusting Jesus (John 10:35), and for your everyday evangelism.What you’ll learn:Why this question isn’t a side issue—it’s about the trustworthiness of the Gospel and of Christ Himself.OT reliability: Masoretic Text vs. Dead Sea Scrolls—how close are we to the originals?NT reliability: the bibliographical test, thousands of manuscripts, and how variants are weighed.The “400,000 variants” claim—what counts as a variant, and why the vast majority don’t change meaning.Big textual questions (e.g., Longer Ending of Mark, Woman Caught in Adultery, Johannine Comma) and why identifying them strengthens confidence.Why alternative “final authorities” never face the same scrutiny—and why Scripture stands.===============================Resources mentioned: Ketef Hinnom Scrolls: https://ketefhinnomsilverscrolls.github.io/about.htmlIntroduction to Textual Criticism pt. 1: https://www.aomin.org/aoblog/textual-issues/an-introduction-to-textual-criticism-part-3-textual-errors/Introduction to Textual Criticism pt. 3: https://www.aomin.org/aoblog/textual-issues/an-introduction-to-textual-criticism-part-3-textual-errors/Ed Gravely - Aren't There 400,000 Variants in the NT? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gieq2fYH9gs https://www.aomin.org/aoblog/textual-issues/an-introduction-to-textual-criticism-part-1-introduction/=================================If this helped you:👍 Like the video to boost it to more viewers.🧠 Subscribe to The Think Institute for clear, biblical worldview training.💬 Drop your toughest objection below—we do Q&A episodes.📩 Join our email list & resources: thethink.institute🙏 Support the work & get member perks.Keywords: Bible changed over time, Dead Sea Scrolls, Masoretic Text, textual criticism, Bible variants, Bart Ehrman, New Testament manuscripts, reliability of Scripture, apologetics, Reformed theology, evangelism, worldview, GospelHashtags: #Apologetics #BibleHistory #TextualCriticism #Worldview #Reformed

28 Arguments for God — Ranked from S-Tier to F-Tier

This is a fast-moving, no-fluff breakdown of the arguments Christians actually use in real conversations—and which ones truly stand up when the pressure is on.

If you want to sharpen your thinking, strengthen your confidence, and grow as a Christian man who can clearly articulate a biblical worldview…this one is for you.

• The ones that only work with tons of setup

• The handful that consistently open doors for gospel conversations

• The argument that outperforms the rest
