Podcasts about Apologetics

This week we discuss millennial red flags and how to assess who your enemy is. Knowing where the battle is actually located is a part of being a faithful fighter. Join us! The post The Enemy! appeared first on Sheologians.

Artificial intelligence has become a powerful lens through which our assumptions about reality are being exposed. As machines increasingly mimic human reasoning, language, and creativity, they force uncomfortable questions to the surface: What actually defines personhood? Is intelligence merely computational, or is there something irreducibly spiritual about the human mind? Can meaning, morality, or belief be generated by algorithms alone—or do those things require transcendence? These are the kinds of questions that sit at the heart of the AITheist series, where technological progress becomes a testing ground for theology, not just innovation.To help us explore these tensions, we're joined today by Michael Svigel, professor of theological studies at Dallas Theological Seminary and author of the AlTheist trilogy. Through a blend of narrative fiction and serious theological reflection, Dr. Svigel invites readers to examine how artificial intelligence challenges Christian claims about the image of God, belief and divine authority. His work doesn't take sides in the technology debate—but does call people to think clearly, biblically, and faithfully about what it means to follow Christ in an age of intelligent machines.Visit http://lfbi.org/learnmore

Is there really a “woke right” or is that label creating more confusion than clarity? In this conversation, Dr. Corey Miller argues that what’s happening in America is downstream from what’s been happening on college campuses for decades. Ideas move from campus to culture, and if we don’t name the problem accurately, we won’t be able to respond wisely.

What do charges of blasphemy against Jesus teach us about who Jesus really is? Clearly the Jews, Scribes, Pharisees, and even Caiaphas the High Priest thought Jesus claimed to be God through what He said and what He did (see Mark 2; Matthew 26; Mark 2; Luke 5; and John 10). Many skeptics, as well as Jehovah's Witnesses and Latter-day Saints have tried explaining away passages like Mark 2, where the Scribes thought Jesus was blaspheming. They believe Jesus only had the authority to forgive sins, not that He was God, the Son, incarnate. This week on the Profile, we will tackle this objection as well as delve into Matthew's account of Caiaphas tearing his robes in Matthew 26:65. Both passages (Mark 2:1-12 and Matthew 26:57-68) are solid evidence that Jesus, the Son of Man, is in fact God the Son, incarnate. From IVPOur guest again this week is Mikel Del Rosario (PhD, Dallas Theological Seminary), professor of Bible and theology at Moody Bible Institute in Chicago. He has coauthored thirty-one journal articles on apologetics and cultural engagement in Bibliotheca Sacra with his mentor, Darrell L. Bock. A member of the Evangelical Theological Society, Del Rosario is host of The Apologetics Guy Show, a podcast on YouTube and the Christianity Today Network.

Should Christians Practice Yoga? What the Church Rarely Tells You Yoga is everywhere—from gyms to churches—but is it spiritually neutral? In this roundtable discussion with colleagues from the Kirkwood Center, we examine yoga's Hindu origins, its purpose as a spiritual discipline, and whether Christians can truly separate the physical practice from its worldview. This conversation challenges popular assumptions and asks a deeper question: Does what we do with our bodies shape what we believe?
