There are two kinds of people: those who worship what is true, and those who worship what they want to be true. Luuk discusses the independent sources corroborating the facts around Acts 18:1-17. Furthermore, he discusses 3 groups of people that respond to the gospel. These 3 groups of people still exist today, yet only one group has the power to both find true sacredness and to anchor this sacredness in objective truth.

As the 1970s came to a close, Phil Fernandes was a Marine, a boxer, and a skeptic. Today, he is a Christian scholar, apologist, and pastor. What changed? In his own words...
Can atheism ever answer the "why" questions? Can it ground our morality? Does it provide an answer to the fundamental human need for redemption and hope? In spite of the secularization myth and the modernization of culture and society, the 21st century is seeing a surge in religious belief and practice. Christianity in China, for example, has grown from under 1 million adherents in 1950 to around 100 million today. In this 5-minute clip from his debate with David G. McAfee, Luuk van de Weghe argues that this is reflective of the fact that the "why" questions do not provide a logical basis for atheism, which fails to give an answer to the ultimate human quest for value, meaning, and a way to ground what it means to be human.

The Bible is a collection of 66 books: law poetry, history, and narrative, written by over 40 men, on 3 different continents, over a 1500-year period, in 3 languages. Yet the Bible is a single story with a main theme that runs from its beginning to its end. The Old Testament prefigures the New Testament, while the New Testament fulfills the Old. Ken Craig reflects on the incredible nature of this consistent theme in this 5-minute excerpt from an interview by Luuk van de Weghe.

Why does a good God allow suffering? Why is there suffering in the world? Why is not everybody healthy and wealthy? The existence of evil and suffering is not a logical problem for theism; actually, it confirms the case for the existence of God as the Moral Lawgiver.
