Podcasts about Apologetics

In this episode we talk about things that are good to keep track of and things that are sinful to keep track of. How can you tell the difference? Join us! The post Keeping Track appeared first on Sheologians.

What is God’s will and how do we actually find it? Does God still speak to us today, and if so, how can we recognize His voice? Today, we have author and apologist Greg Koukl, founder of Stand to Reason, about one of the most practical and misunderstood topics in the Christian life: how to make decisions that honor God. Greg challenges the common idea that Christians must wait for a “still small voice” or a “sign” before making choices and instead points us back to what Scripture really teaches about God’s will.

In this episode, Jason and Duffey offer a brief, concise introduction to the discipline of Christian apologetics. Apologetics is the act of defending the Christian faith from various forms of opposition. Should Christians engage in apologetics? How do apologetics and evangelism correlate with one another? These questions and more are discussed here. Enjoy!   For a helpful online resource, see Wesley Huff's (Duffey's recommended online resource) website https://www.wesleyhuff.com/ and his youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/@WesHuff 

What happens when a lifelong dream collides with an unexpected diagnosis? For David Suarez, the path seemed clear from the age of six: become a cardiovascular surgeon and heal broken hearts. But when David was fast-tracked into Brown University's prestigious medical school, a sidelining diagnosis and an aha from God showed him that there was more than one way to fix a broken heart. A shower of surrender showed David an entirely new way to see God and deal with his narcolepsy diagnosis. And he found a natural antidote in sharing Jesus with others that led David down an entirely new career path.  David is now a high school Bible teacher as well as published apologist. See how God guides David from one passionate career choice to another, and how he is now fixing broken hearts.Some of David's Books:David's Book, Worldview Review: A Guide to Worldview Formation, Christian Apologetics, Comparative Religion, and Evaluating Competing Belief SystemsDavid's Book, The Death of Allah, 10 paradoxes that dismantle Islamist theismWhat Should a Muslim Believe? a field guide for ChristiansThe Sleepy Seminarian, apologetics questions and answers by DavidHelpful Links:Reformed University FellowshipNarcolepsy or HypersomniaLet us know what you thought of the show!Follow One80 on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or our website.Never miss a One80.

Is there any redeeming value in reading fantasy literature or literature from the ancient world that is not distinctively Christian? What does Athens have to do with Jerusalem? What does truth have to do with fiction? Our guest again this week, an advocate for classical Christian education, Dr. Louis Markos, believes that reading fantasy or any of the classical works from pagan antiquity is an essential component to a classical Christian education; one that enables students to understand and appreciate the bigger historical and cultural contexts picture related to the origins of Christianity, as well as equips them to better grasp who they are as human beings created in the image of God. We continue to discuss his new book Passing the Torch - An Apology for the Christian Faith. Dr. Louis Markos is an authority on C. S. Lewis, apologetics, and ancient Greece and Rome. He lectures widely for classical Christian and classical charter schools and conferences. Markos is the author of twenty-six books, and is the Robert H. Ray Chair of Humanities at Houston Christian University in Houston, Texas.

John Lovell (Warrior Poet) joins Pastor Josh McPherson on the Stronger Man Nation podcast to unpack why playful jabs actually forge trust, how to argue without being a jerk, and why love on display is the most effective apologetic. John shares the gut-punch story behind his vigilante novel Lions of Mercer (honoring a fallen friend), why the book shows evil without reveling in it, and how publishers tried to avoid the topic.They dive into worldview basics, John's “ambush” conversion before basic training, and a sticky metaphor you won't forget: courage leaks—refill it daily. Then a spicy marriage segment: weaponized intimacy is emotional/sexual blackmail, nagging erodes respect, and headship looks like Jesus washing feet—“My life should be harder than my wife's.”Support the showThanks for listening!

Is it possible to survive inside a whale for 3 days and 3 nights? Critics often claim the biblical story of Jonah is scientifically impossible, but what if there’s more to it? In this episode, William P. Cheshire, M.D., a neurologist and professor, offers a scientific analysis of the biblical story.

Rick and Svea spend much of the episode discussing Paul's warning to the church leaders in Ephesus as found in Acts 20:17-38: watch out for the wolves among you.A warning from Rick about this episode: It may contain meandering conversation with points of lucidity in a forest of discontinuity and convoluted word salads, but it has been fun.Topics discussed in this episode:00:00 Intro03:21 Serving is leading and leadership.06:35 The genius of Scripture: the same passage allowed Rick to pivot the emphasis in response to immediate needs without bending it to fit the new topic. This message's focus: Be on guard - have the back of those whom you lead.10:57 Wolves prowling around as a threat to the flock: Paul's admonition then and still true today.12:02 Three ways to spot a wolf: 1) they try to raise your level of fear; 2) they try to lower your level of empathy; and 3) they try to distract you from being an ambassador for Jesus and his kingdom.12:21 Looking at each wolf tactic: Watch out for those using fear as a manipulator.17:07 Watch out for those downplaying empathy or even calling it a sin. 25:33 Watch out for those trying to distract us from the primacy of Jesus.29:14 How do you overcome the wolves? In every arena of your life, live as though Jesus were living your life: be with Jesus, become more like Jesus, and do as Jesus did. Who we are becoming is more important than what we do.31:52 The big difference between a true representative of Jesus and a wolf: A true representative will say follow me as I follow Jesus. A wolf will try to get you to join their endeavor and impose aspects of Christianity on others so they can get more control.34:31 The way of Jesus is always going to be different than any expression of the world's way.35:17 Playing the movie forward.

This week Bible apologist Sandy Simpson educates us on Dominionism. This is a four week study with the first three being from a series Sandy taught and the fourth from another teaching but ties in.

This week Joy explains why she said something so crazy a few months back about how she prayed in faith for another child and God gave her one (what a crazy thing to say!). The post God Answers Our Prayers appeared first on Sheologians.

Any purpose or end goal of education requires one to have an understanding of what it means to be human. Etymologically, the word “curriculum” means to run a course. The Apostle Paul says in his second letter to Timothy that he had “run the race” in fulfilling what Jesus created and called him to do. Jesus Himself tells us that He is the way, the truth and the life, the only way to the Father. We are created in God's image, for His purpose and glory, to walk in the works He has prepared for us before the world began. Our guest this week and next on the Profile is Dr. Louis Markos, an advocate for classical Christian education. He discusses his new book Passing the Torch – An Apology for Classical Christian Education. Markos shares his insights as to how a deeper understanding of the culture and literature of the Greco-Roman world enhances and complements a virtuous Christian education. Dr. Louis Markos is an authority on C. S. Lewis, apologetics, and ancient Greece and Rome. He lectures widely for classical Christian and classical charter schools and conferences. The author of twenty-six books, Markos currently serves as the Robert H. Ray Chair of Humanities at Houston Christian University in Houston, Texas.

Did the Disciples Misremember Jesus' Resurrection? Were the resurrection stories just memories gone wrong—or history remembered right?

Summary:In this episode, Brian and Chad talk with Christian apologist and evangelist **Eric Hernandez** about his book *The Lazy Approach to Evangelism: A Simple Guide for Conversing with Non-Believers*. Eric discusses how evangelism and apologetics intersect, why every believer is called to defend the faith, and how to engage with skeptics effectively and biblically.Key Topics Covered:* Eric's philosophy of evangelism and how apologetics fits into it* The danger of emotion-based evangelism vs. truth-based evangelism* Understanding “strongholds” (2 Corinthians 10) as false ideas that block people from knowing God* Identifying and addressing major worldviews: postmodernism, scientism, and naturalism* Paul's example of adapting to the audience (1 Corinthians 9:20–23)* “The Lazy Approach”: asking the right questions instead of having all the right answers* The importance of theological triage—keeping the main thing the main thing* Understanding the **burden of proof**, **rebuttals vs. refutations**, and **logical fallacies*** Using Colossians 4:5–6 as a biblical foundation for gospel conversations* How Jesus modeled effective apologetics with both compassion and precision* Encouragement for Christians who feel intimidated by evangelism or apologetics* Why apologetics isn't optional—it's commanded and part of loving God with all your mindQuotes:“If you're not engaging in apologetics, you are in rebellious disobedience to the Word of God.” – Eric Hernandez
“You don't need to know all the right answers; you need to learn how to ask the right questions.”
