The bodily resurrection of Christ is foundational to our faith, yet this can be a stumbling block to our culture. Where have we seen culture contradict the truth of the resurrection? Are there any beliefs you've had that contradicted the gospel? How have you seen God graciously correct those overtime? What has He used to correct any inconsistent beliefs?

This special episode marks the revival of the classic format edition with one-on-one conversations between Steve and a special guest, with the first in the series being author Michael Walsh, discussing his terrific new book, A Rage to Conquer: Twelve Battles That Changed the Course of Western History. One way to get a feel for the candor and bracing character of Michael's book is this passage from the Afterword, reflecting on the ambivalent reaction to the 9/11 attack:"The imperial Romans would have gone full delenda est on Saudi Arabia, razed its cities, destroyed the Kaaba, leveled the mosques, occupied the oil fields, seized its wealth, executed its leaders, and sold the populace into slavery; they knew an existential struggle when they were in one."Our conversation ranges far beyond the four corners of his book, into music, Ireland (Michael's ancentral home and part-time residence today), the suicidal multiculturalism of Europe, and why the Chinese military threat is overrated. Steve has other guests lined up for future classic format episodes, and from time to time John and/or Lucretia will join in. But you're going to have to stock up on more whisky.

A quick note on secondary sources: Christian materials donot always treat Mormonism fairly or go the extra mile topresent Mormon ideas as a Mormon would recognize them.One book that does is Andrew Jackson's MormonismExplained: What Latter-day Saints Teach and Practice. I alsorecommend A Different Jesus? The Christ of the Latter-DaySaints by BYU professor Robert Millet. Richard Mouwconcedes too much in his Foreword and Afterword, but it isstill helpful to get Mormon Christology from a Mormonhimself.1. View of history. In Mormon thinking, the rise ofMormonism was not merely a reformation or renewal of thechurch. It was a complete restoration. Following the death ofChrist's apostles, the church fell into complete apostasy. Thechurch lost divine authority and true doctrine. There is nounbroken continuity from the early church to the present.Christianity, for almost all of its history, was false and withoutthe truth—until Joseph Smith and his revelation. Mormonismnot only rejects historic orthodox Christianity, the entirereligion is based on the need for such repudiation.2. View of revelation. Mormons believe the Bible (the KJVversion), but do not consider it inerrant. Neither do theyconsider the Bible complete. What makes Mormonismunique is their belief in continuing revelation sustainedthrough prophets, seers, and revelators. So while Mormonsaffirm the Bible, they also affirm the inspiration of the Bookof Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants, and the Pearl of GreatPrice. Through an elaborate hierarchy of President, FirstPresidency, Twelve Apostles, First Quorum of the Seventy,and Second Quorum of the Seventy, Mormons can receiveauthoritative interpretations and new authoritativerevelations.Kevin DeYoung is the senior pastor at Christ CovenantChurch (PCA) in Matthews, North Carolina and associateprofessor of systematic theology at Reformed TheologicalSeminary.For more information about this group, please visit their website at reformationboise.com.

We tackle the beginning of 1 Corinthians 7 with not one, but two married couples (and Betty)! No matter what stage of life you find yourself in, the truths of this passage hold a lot of relevance, and it is vital to have these conversations. Some questions we cover are: How can we view singleness as a gift? If you are single and don't want to be, how do you embrace this season?Why does the church tend to avoid conversations around intimacy and sex?   What is some of the baggage people can bring into marriage that can make physical intimacy challenging?

Paul provides for us a theology of the body. In this episode we unpack that a little bit and ask questions like:Can this text be used more broadly about how to treat the body, or does it apply more narrowly specifically to sexual immorality?What are some ways God uses to take good theology and head knowledge like this and move it into our hearts and how we then live?What are some ways parents can talk about this topic with their young kids?We want to hear from you!

Given what has happened since – from a global pandemic to wars in Europe, Africa and the Middle East – events in Hong Kong in 2019-20 can seem remote when seen from today's perspective. But the momentous scale and significance of the protests there during those years, and the ensuing crackdown and increasing restrictions on Hong Kong's distinctive politics and society, continue to resonate, not least for the tens of thousands who have left the territory recently. Jeffrey Wasserstrom's Vigil – a brilliant encapsulation of the mood in Hong Kong in 2019 and its pre-history and precedents – was published soon after the protests that year reached their zenith.

Welcome back -- at long last! Ending another unexpected break, I bring you an unexpected episode just in time for a 4/20-Easter combo, and this should mark the beginning of regular weekly or (at least) bi-weekly episode releases. I've had a lot going in my life recently, most of which has been very trying. It's brought about a lot of change, mostly for the better in the long run, but not before manifesting as horrific chronic pain for a couple months. More updates in the episode!But as for the central focus at hand, I take some time to address some of the insights I felt I gained as I gritted my teeth through intense waves of pain -- as always, I used philosophy to try and preoccupy myself and sometimes when you are pushed to your limits, you find some of your best insights. So I decided that for my episode back, embracing all the suck that I have gone through since my last episode (and all year honestly), I would explain just why all these New Agers that won't embrace the suck are seriously in the grips of mental illness. Using books like Robert Pirsig's legendary Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance and others, I get into why exactly this is the case and why's it not even a controversial stance to take. Outside of these insulated and self-congratulatory New Age communities, none of the critical thinkers are fooled. But all the same, rest assured that these 'spiritual' people will keep high-fiving and congratulating each other for saving the world in a way all too similar to the Scientologist rah-rah mindset.I'm just trying to do my part in this episode as a drop in the bucket. I hope you dig it!Related Content⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠DIVE MANUAL AUDIOBOOK⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠HUNT MANUAL⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠BHA LINKTREE w books, shorts, and much more⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Related EpisodesBHA Answer to Job episodeBHA The Image of GodBHA The Image of the DevilBHA Evolution of God and GoddessSource MaterialZen and the Art of Motorcycle MaintenanceAnswer to JobThe Crow's Afterword by A.A.
