The English theologian, G.K.Chesterton, once famously said that if we come upon a fence that we don't understand the need for, we must first identify its purpose before we uproot the fence. It turns out that this simple thought-experiment has incredible value for the state of affairs in our culture today. In this episode Prashanth unpacks exactly how that applies in our society and how 'Progressivism' as an ideology can actually learn some valuable lessons from the late great Chesterton. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/prashanth-daniel/support

The term 'your truth' has become ubiquitous in our culture today. But what does it mean? And is it used in a way that corresponds to reality? In this episode, Prashanth traces the euphemism back to its ideological roots and shows how the modern narrative of someone's 'lived experience' actually betrays an entire worldview beneath it.

Is abortion just a popular idea? Or is there an actual worldview at work behind it? In this episode, Prashanth makes the case that there is a massive philosophically pragmatic and self-centered foundation beneath the abortion movement.

A landmark Supreme Court case in Mississippi has brought the contentious topic of abortion raging back to the surface of the national conversation. Unlike other cases, this one has the potential to possibly reverse the controversial Roe Vs. Wade decision of 1973. What is at stake here for the pro-life cause? But most importantly what is at stake for the protection of millions of unborn lives? In this episode of a two-part series, Prashanth unpacks the legal and constitutional landscape of this modern Holocaust. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/prashanth-daniel/support

Its hard to believe that its been 20 years since the 9/11 attacks. As America and the West continue to grapple with the complexities of Middle Eastern policies, what lessons can we learn from 9/11? Are Western and Islamic cultures fundamentally the same, or are they diametrically opposite to each other? In this episode, Prashanth breaks down the intrinsic worldview differences between Western and Islamic culture, while showing us that it is not policies that dictate worldview, but rather worldview that dictates policies. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/prashanth-daniel/support

Christians generally know that they are called to evangelize in obedience to Jesus' mandate in Mathew 28. But the average Christian often struggles to identify which conversations have evangelistic potential, and if they do, how to transition from small talk to deeper and more spiritual issues. In this episode, Prashanth offers some useful tips on precisely that and offers some tactical strategies on how to evangelize graciously but effectively as winsome ambassadors of Christ. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/prashanth-daniel/support

As Christians we should know the Gospel and certainly believe in it. But is it possible to become so familiar with the Gospel that we actually take it for granted?

If Christians know the truth of the Gospel and believe it to be saving truth, what prevents them from sharing the Gospel with others? In this episode Prashanth breaks down some reasons why Christians might feel unequipped to share their convictions with those who dont believe or might have questions about the faith. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/prashanth-daniel/support

When it comes to evangelizing, people sometimes make the mistake of assuming that it is a task best left to 'experts' like pastors, theologians, evangelists or apologists. But the Bible never takes this approach. As believers we are all expected, in some manner or the other, to play an active role in the Great Commission. In this episode, Prashanth breaks down how understanding God's preferred agency of execution might motivate us to become proactive in our evangelism. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/prashanth-daniel/support

In the second part to this series, Prashanth examines how Western culture's tendency to privatize it's faith to make it 'individual' and 'personal', resulted in the inadvertent consequence of removing it's potency from the public sphere of influence. There could be something that we might call a faith that is 'our own' but if our Christian convictions fail to influence the way we practically live our lives in the different segments of culture, then society itself is deprived of witnessing the transforming power of Christianity through the lives of it's followers. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/prashanth-daniel/support

The Great Commission, referenced in Mathew 28, is one of the single greatest mandates given to Christians by Christ himself. And yet statistically speaking, the data shows that most self-proclaimed Christians don't know much about the Great Commission, let alone practice it. Which begs the question - is the Christian church apathetic to the Great Commission? In this series, Prashanth walks us through six reasons why Christians might be unwilling or unable to respond to the biblical mandate of evangelism. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/prashanth-daniel/support

Some call this a bold portrayal for women's empowerment while others call it the demeaning of young girls' innocence, while the director calls it educational.

Atonement is not unique to the Christian faith. But Christianity is the only faith that has the audacity to teach that there is nothing you or I can do to atone for our own sins. It was Christ, the only begotten Son of God, that came into this world to die on a Cross for our sins. But how exactly did that work? Was there no other way? In this episode, I explain why Christ, being truly God and truly man, is the only one who can save us from our sins. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/prashanth-daniel/support
