    Ivy Insights

    The Freethinking Podcast is an incredible apologetics ministry that is truly dedicated to their motto of challenging assumptions and engaging in thoughtful discussions. Dr. Tim Stratton, the host and main apologist, brings a unique blend of knowledge and compassion to the podcast, making it a must-listen for anyone interested in issues pertaining to freedom of the will and other thought-provoking topics.

    One of the best aspects of this podcast is Dr. Stratton's ability to present complex concepts in a way that is both accessible and engaging. His pastor's heart shines through as he explores difficult questions and addresses them with warmth and understanding. Whether you are well-versed in apologetics or just beginning your journey, you'll find something valuable in each episode as Dr. Stratton has a knack for breaking down complex ideas into relatable examples.

    Another standout feature of The Freethinking Podcast is the depth of conversation that takes place. Rather than simply scratching the surface of an issue, Dr. Stratton delves deep into each topic, exploring its nuances and implications. This makes for a rich listening experience that leaves you with plenty to ponder long after the episode ends. The podcast also serves as a complementary platform to their website articles, providing an opportunity for more in-depth discussions on the material covered.

    While it's hard to find any significant flaws in such a well-crafted podcast, one area that could be improved upon is the frequency of releases. As someone who has just discovered The Freethinking Podcast, I'm eager to listen to all their episodes but realizing that there may be some wait time between releases is slightly disappointing. However, considering the quality of content they provide, it's understandable that they take their time to ensure each episode meets their high standards.

    In conclusion, The Freethinking Podcast is an exceptional ministry that tackles important issues within apologetics with sincerity and conviction. Dr. Tim Stratton's expertise and genuine passion for engaging with these topics shines through in every episode, making it a must-listen for anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of freedom of the will and other relevant subjects.

    So Many Moral Arguments! W/ dr. Tim Stratton

    Play Episode Listen Later Apr 9, 2024 41:15


    One of my favorite arguments for the existence of God is the moral argument. To say that the moral argument has caused a stir in the waters of philosophy would be a gross understatement. The syllogism has made such an impact that committed atheists debate amongst themselves as to which premise they ought to reject. The popular version of the moral argument can be formulated like this: If God does not exist, objective moral values and duties do not exist. Objective moral values and duties do exist. Therefore, God exists. Although I believe that this version of the argument is sound, in order to counter objections by atheist philosophers like Wielenberg, I often share modified versions of the argument that do not focus on objective moral values but on objective purpose. List to this to learn how one can modify and improve the moral argument when discussing with atheists to show how faith in God can be reasonable! ➡️ CHAPTERS ⬅️ 00:00 Introduction 14:20 Purpose Theory 21:04 Libertarian Freedom 29:13 An Eternal “Or Else!” 36:12 Conclusion 40:15 One More Moral Argument ➡️ LINKS ⬅️ https://youtu.be/OxiAikEk2vU and https://youtu.be/xHhmuqBW6Dw  https://www.goodreads.com/work/quotes/1121858-river-out-of-eden-a-darwinian-view-of-life https://freethinkingministries.com/explaining-and-defending-the-free-thinking-argument/  https://youtu.be/u-xPCK1pTBk https://a.co/d/2Y1jflH   https://youtu.be/GK8F-wQFwtE https://youtu.be/yE4cT6ildB4 https://youtu.be/tH2w6Oxx0kQ https://a.co/d/3PYvlAB https://freethinkingministries.com/true-love-free-will-the-logic-of-hell/ https://freethinkingministries.com/sharing-the-gospel-and-back-pocket-apologetics/ https://youtu.be/VVro5wxqh4U https://youtu.be/qQzdAsjWGPg https://freethinkingministries.com/atheism-is-un-american/ ➡️ SOCIALS ⬅️ Website: https://freethinkingministries.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FreeThinkInc Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/freethinkinc Twitter: https://twitter.com/freethinkmin TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@freethinkinc #Moral #Morality #Arguments #Philosophy #Apologetics #FreeThinking #TimStratton

    In this episode, together with Dr. John DePoe, we explore the relationship between rationality and libertarian freedom. Can rationality fully flourish in the absence of libertarian freedom? Is freedom an essential catalyst for logical thinking and informed decision-making? We will address fundamental questions about the human mind and libertarian freedom. In addition, we'll answer some objections that stand against this idea.

    Alistair Begg recently made evangelical headlines with some advice he gave to a grandmother on attending her grandson's wedding to a transgender person. The response has been mixed to say the least. Some supporting, others condemning, but it seems we've lost the ability to disagree and hash out why we disagree in the evangelical realm. In this episode Josh invites Brady Cone on to discuss the Begg situation, how to disagree amicably, and whether Begg's advice was wrong or right.
