This is the ninth lesson in Dr. Camden Bucey's Reformed Academy course, Defending Our Hope: An Introduction to Christian Apologetics. How do we put all the pieces together to faithfully defend our hope? In this lesson, we turn from theological foundations to practical methodology. You will learn how to construct a biblical and Reformed approach to apologetics—one that maintains the antithesis without compromise and resists conforming to unbelieving patterns of thought. We examine the two-step method, emphasizing internal critique and gospel proclamation, and contrast it with evidentialist, classical, and cumulative case approaches. Whether you are in a coffee shop or a classroom, this lesson equips you to defend the faith with theological integrity and practical confidence. 01:54 The Two-Step Method 04:19 Apologetics Is for Everyone 06:00 Apologetic Method Is Not Arbitrary 08:21 Building a Defense 11:28 Other Apologetic Methods 19:08 Summary and Conclusion Register for this free on-demand course on our website to track your progress, download supplemental resources, and assess your understanding through quizzes for each lesson.

Like us, are you somewhat uncomfortable of about Pantera playing with Metallica? Why exactly might that be? We need to explore what it is about Phil Anselmo that gives people that icky feeling. This week we try to put some meat on the bones about the rumours that have dogged Anselmo for the last three decades of his career. White supremacist? Racist? Just a bit of a steamer? What is it about this guy that has gotten him this reputation? Is it merited? And if it is merited, do we have any sort of obligation to act on that? The Pattern of Behaviour It's an issue that's dogged Phil throughout his career, but came into sharp focus at the conclusion of the Dimebash concert in 2016. The thing is though, focusing too much on that fiasco is that it allows flimsy and bad faith justifications. Too much alcohol is one. "Oh, he was just trolling" is another. They've been fairly successfully passed off as excuses for not just his misdeeds that night, but his behaviour more generally. That smokescreen has enabled millions of paying Pantera fans to handwave away the evidence of their own eyes and ears. Denial is a powerful thing, especially when a band is so intrinsically tied up in the carefully guarded nostalgia of countless nineties teenhoods. Anselmo's history with white supremacist rhetoric and imagery goes back a long way. It's been scattered, downplayed, obfuscated to such an extent that it's easy to lose track. We gather all those details in one place so you can make better informed decisions about where you spend your money and what sort of behaviour we seek to excuse on literally the biggest of the world's stages.

In this extended and moving episode of Truth Tribe, Dr. Douglas Groothuis reads his essay Autobiography as Apologetic, originally published in the Christian Research Journal. This personal narrative recounts his journey from spiritual seeking and philosophical skepticism to a lifelong commitment to Christ and Christian apologetics. With clarity and honesty, Dr. Groothuis shares how God pursued him through dreams, conversations, mystical encounters, academic trials, and literature. He recounts the influences of thinkers like Kierkegaard, Schaeffer, and C.S. Lewis, the love and editing brilliance of his late wife Rebecca, and how Christian truth took hold of his mind and heart. This is more than a memoir — it is a testimony to the truth, power, and rationality of the gospel.

Kim (SO/SP 8w7 863) joins us for an intimate and unguarded exploration of the inner world of Eight — where sovereignty is survival, connection is a gamble, and straight talk is an act of love. From the first moments, Kim's presence is unmistakable: a force of nature, all-in from the outset, inviting others to meet her at full throttle. We explore the emotional paradox at the heart of the Social Eight — the innocent hope that others will meet her with the same raw honesty she offers, the crushing self-blame that follows when that trust proves misplaced, and the instinct to amputate not just relationships but parts of her own soul in self-protection. We delve into the Eight's preemptive numbing, the hardened stance of being the gatekeeper of her world, and the quiet grief of being valued only for what she gives — not for who she is. Kim's story is a vivid portrait of Eight's vulnerability beneath the armor, and of the slow, courageous return to wholeness.

"It's time to stand up, with eyes open, ears down to the ground. A change is long overdue. So, wake up. Question everything. Are you awake?"—One by One (2014) For the 19th TMR Movie Roundtable we welcome back our good friends Frank Johnson and Antony Rotunno for a three-way discussion on the cult British "truth movement" film One by One (2014), starring the well-loved (and much-missed) comedian and actor Rik Mayall, written and directed by Diane Jessie Miller. A young woman, Dion, is befriended by an unconventional group of people while she's working in a UK town cafe. Although her policeman boyfriend is not happy about this, because he thinks she should aspire to greater things than waitressing and considers her new pals too idealistic and eccentric, Dion sticks with her friends because they bring a fresh sense of joy and peace into her life. But when tragedy strikes, Dion's life is turned upsidedown; and thus begins her journey "down the rabbit hole" as the group reveals to her the unsettling truths that they have come to understand. Incredulous at first, Dion eventually comes to the same realisation, and the film closes with (what seems to be) the initial stages of the anticipated calamity. Join us as we discuss the production, consider it in relation to the so-called "truth movement", and ask what the filmmakers might have meant by admonishing audiences to "Wake up, now!"

Segment 1: • A Unique Apologetic: No one could accuse Jesus of sin—what would it take for you to call someone sinless? • Christmas Reflection: Jesus is God, and His sinlessness underscores the miracle of the incarnation. • Faith Insight: Doubt isn't the same as unbelief—stay grounded in the truth of who Jesus is. Segment 2: • Enduring Praise: God commends tireless discernment, endurance, resistance to the devil, obedience to His Word, and teachable hearts. • Self vs. God: In a world consumed with self-affirmation, focus on what God values. • Scriptural Guidance: "Each man's praise will come to him from God"—live for His approval, not man's. Segment 3: • Fewer Families: By 2050, more people over 80 than children will change society—and the church. • Ministry Opportunity: Aging societies mean more ministry alongside singles and those without families. • For Parents: Invest in giving your children a foundation in something greater than the world can offer. Segment 4: • Singleness Isn't Inferior: The Bible honors singleness as much as marriage—it's not second-class citizenry. • Encouragement for All: Churches must support both married and single people as demographics shift. • Lessons from the 1960s: Liberal ideologies spread then as they do now—there's nothing new under the sun. ___ Thanks for listening!
