Aroma Of Christ

Chase Bishop is a college/church friend of Dalton's and the president of christian apologetics club at Western Carolina University. In this episode, we talk about several compelling scientific and historical evidences that support the existence of God and the legitimacy of the Bible. Below, I have typed out timestamps to different topics we covered in this episode. Personally, I think we saved the best for last. Now, sit back, relax, and enjoy the show! 6:00: "The Fine Tuning Argument"- How the fine tuning of the universe points to a creator. 17:10: "The Kalams Cosmological Argument"- The universe had a beginning, so it must have required a cause that is outside of the universe. 21:07: If there is a god, why does it have to be the God of the Bible? 26:22: Evidence for Jesus raising from the dead. 35:21: Evidence for Jesus raising from the dead (continued)- The Shroud of Turin- This is the most studied ancient artifact of all time and many people believe it to be the burial cloth of Jesus Christ, including the non-christian scientists that worked on it. 48:56: closing remarks

In this episode, we talk about failure. Specifically, people who have failed in the Bible, how they reacted after their failure, how God treated them, and how God tells us to respond to our own failure. There is also a guest star appearance from two of our dear friends from camp, Emilia and Micah, that you won't wanna miss! You may remember Emilia from episode 9 titled "Stories From A Summer Camp Photographer." Marcus and Gabe recorded this episode while working back in Texas at Camp Cho-Yeh where this podcast all started, while Dalton recorded remotely from North Carolina.

Tyler Watts, a dear friend and former coworker of Marcus, Gabe, and Dalton's, spoke boldly about God and about the call to tell others of him. He also brought up an important attitude to have when facing difficult times in life. The Bible commands us to continue to praise God during tough times as well as in joyful times. We need to remember that we will all go through tough times in life, but that it is so fortunate to have God when we do. He is here to help and to build us, not just for comfort. This was a wonderful episode, and we would like to thank Tyler again for coming on and sharing his story and message. This was a lot of fun, and we hope you enjoy!

Before he knew God, he went through a period of rebellion and destructive habits. He talks about the joy that God has given him, and the incredible change that God has made in his life. We also tackle the topic of salvation and what the Bible says about being saved. This was a very fun episode to record, and we hope you enjoy!

In this episode, Gabe tells the story of the prodigal son (or the lost son): a wonderful story that many can relate to about a rebellious son who came back to his father after having experienced tragedy due to a time of wild living. Also, Dalton gives his testimony of him coming to God after a rebellious past of his own, and what God did after. Hope you enjoy!
