Worldview Legacy | The Think Institute episodes:

September 01, 2021Aliens, Nephilim, Dinosaurs & the Bible: What Christian Men Need to Know | Guest: Dr. Jonathan Sarfati
I've brought on Dr. Jonathan Sarfati for this episode. He was requested by one of our listeners, and he has authored some of the most popular and powerful books on the issues of origins, strongly defending biblical (‘young earth’) creation and refuting the strongest arguments for evolution and millions of years. Jonathan is also a chess master and former New Zealand chess champion. He's truly a fascinating guy, and I think you're going to really enjoy—and be helped by—what he has to say about nephilim, dinosaurs, aliens, and fatherhood.
Dr. Sarfati talks about:
Were the nephilim offspring of angels?

Was genetic manipulation going on before the Flood?

Were nephilim… neanderthals?

How did dinosaurs and other megafauna survive at such extreme sizes?

What is his theory on the possibility of alien life?

How can dads lead their families in understanding nephilim, aliens, etc.?

Is a "broken gene" evidence of common human-ape ancestry?

Are there different "kinds" of birds?

Could Dr. Sarfati beat Tim McGrew at chess?

Is the age of the earth a primary or secondary issue?

August 24, 2021Principles for Humble Evangelism (Blake Long on "Gospel Smugness")
ThinkSquad, have you ever had one of those moments where you wrap up a conversation with someone, and then you get back to your car and reflect back on it, and you think, "Man, I regret just about everything I just said. I think I came off like a royal jerk. Not good." I've been there. Many, many times. Maybe you have too. And one of the worst times to feel that way is after you've just shared the Gospel with someone. When you're evangelizing is one time when you especially don't want to come off like a douche. So how do you avoid this? How do we avoid being smug, yet without being so "humble" that we water down the message?
To answer this question I brought on author and blogger Blake Long. Blake and I discuss his book Gospel Smugness, in which he argues that the Gospel is offensive enough without us unnecessarily adding to the offense. We discuss
The importance of "reading the room" when sharing the Gospel

How empathy factors in to evangelism (and why it's not a sin)

What it really means to speak the truth in love

Why "arrogant Calvinist" should be an oxymoron
Don't miss this entertaining and informative conversation that will give you some solid principles for humble evangelism, with this up-and-coming Christian thinker, Blake Long.

August 20, 2021 How to Witness to Jehovah's Witnesses, with Andrew Rappaport
How do you handle it when Jehovah's Witnesses ring your doorbell? Do you invite them in? Do you know what to say? This is something we need to be ready for—and ready to lead our families in—so I brought in an expert to help: my friend, Andrew Rappaport.
Andrew is the preaching pastor of Grace & Truth Bible Church in Bucks County, PA, and founder and executive director of Striving for Eternity Ministries and the Christian Podcast Community. He's an evangelist and the author of What Do They Believe, which is a systematic theology of the major western religions.
Now when diving into a topic like this, we could talk about both specific tactics to use, as well as broad principles for engaging in discussion. While the former is important, we also need to master the latter—and that's what we mostly cover here. While it's vital to have Bible verses and doctrines in your back pocket that refute the heretical doctrines of cults, we also should know how to apply principles for dissecting what's being said, comparing it to Scripture, and contrasting truth with errors. After all, every individual Jehovah's Witness is just that—an individual—and we need to get to know them as people, find out what they actually believe (rather than assume), and guide them, individually, to the real and biblical Jesus.
My conversation with Andrew begins with an introduction to his work, followed by consideration of the following questions:
How important is it to learn about other religions?
When investigating other religions and cults, what should we be looking for, in terms of distinctives and differences to biblical Christianity?
What's the most important thing Christians need to know about Jehovah's Witnesses?
How should we evangelistically engage with Jehovah's Witnesses?
How can fathers prepare their kids to interact with Jehovah's Witnesses?
To learn more about the history and beliefs of the Jehovah's Witnesses and the Watchtower Bible & Tract Society, get Andrew Rappaport's book, What Do They Believe? https://strivingforeternity.org/store/books/what-do-they-believe.

August 12, 2021General Revelation and Presuppositional Apologetics (For Fathers) with Dr. Owen Anderson
In today's episode, we're talking about General Revelation. And that's why I've brought in Dr. Owen Anderson. Dr. Anderson has been tackling questions like this for over 20 years. He's a professor of philosophy and religious studies at Arizona State University. I've had him on to talk about Luciferian myths in Hollywood movies and the deeper, philosophical meaning of Job. Today we're diving into General Revelation, a topic he knows a lot about, and one I'm trying to learn more about—maybe just like you.
We get into:
Why is General Revelation important to know about?

What is General Revelation, and what can it teach us? What does the Bible say about it?

The Argument from Divine Hiddenness

Does General Revelation reveal "a" god or "the" God?

What does General Revelation actually reveal about God?

Does General Revelation reveal the Trinity?

How to use General Revelation in a presuppositional apologetic

What Dads need to know to equip their kids to interpret General Revelation
If you like this episode, would you do me a favor? Leave us an honest, five star rating and write a quick review on Apple Podcasts. And if you really like it, please pass it along to another dad who needs to hear it for his own kids. Thanks.

August 02, 2021[2019] How to Raise Kids Who Can Defend the Faith
Here's something to think about, ThinkSquad: what's your number one goal for your kids? As I speak, we've just started our two oldest in soccer camp. Neither one of them has any experience with soccer (Jakob has done karate and martial arts), but Aliza and I recognize the value of team sports, and soccer is a great one for developing teamwork, perseverance, thoughtfulness, and courage. These are all virtues we want to help our kids develop—but developing these isn't our greatest goal for them. Our greatest goal in our parenting is to teach our kids to serve and glorify God through Jesus Christ—in every area of life. That has implications for how they play sports, as well as for how they treat their teammates… and for the conversations they get into after practice. As their father, I want to know: are my kids ready to articulate and defend the Christian message? How about yours? Are they ready?
In today's episode, that's what I'm talking about.
We look at three keys: Principles, Practice and Prayer.

*Concerns about this episode? Please get in touch here.
Welcome to the NEW ThinkPod, helping dads lead their families in defending the Christian message.

What terminology is most biblical and helpful to use for our gay neighbors?
How can we share the Gospel with our gay neighbors without seeming like we’re affirming their lifestyle
What’s the best way to get started in evangelizing our same sex attracted neighbors?
What happens when one or both partners in a “gay marriage” becomes a Christian? What if there are children involved? What happens to them?
What practical advice does Sam have for fathers who want to lead their families well in this?
Is same-sex attraction sinful?
And many more....
