    In today's episode of the Atheist Experience, The Cross Examiner and JMike confront the alarming rise of Christian nationalism in the military and the psychological weight of deconversion! From the ethics of animal consumption to the mechanics of prophecy, the hosts challenge callers to ground their reality in evidence rather than "personal truth."Michael in NM asks about slavery and murder but shifts to veganism. Hosts discuss legal distinctions, altruistic evolution, and moral anti-realism. Is speciesism just biological conditioning? What threshold makes a life worth saving?Debbie in FL asks why believers proselytize. Graham uses a "drain cleaner" analogy to explain the theist mindset of "saving" people. JMike suggests using rattling questions. Can we bridge the gap if "no" means "not enough bribe"?Chapter on TikTok asks for the best theistic argument. JMike and Graham dismantle the "look at the trees" and fine-tuning claims. They identify the "presuppositional" trap. Why use God as a placeholder for things science hasn't explained yet?Pete in MI uses a family coincidence to claim "personal truth." The hosts critique mind-dependent reality and the failure to investigate natural causes. Is a spooky feeling sufficient evidence, or just a coincidence counting the hits?Marcus in New Zealand cites prophecy about a magazine. Hosts expose circular logic and unfalsifiable claims. They urge him to raise his bar for evidence. Can savvy predictions prove God, or are they just savvy humans counting hits?Thank you for joining us this week!

    Former Harper's Magazine editor Christopher Beha on his journey from skeptical Atheism to skeptical Christianity. Watch the video of this episode on YouTube here. For many people, faith and skepticism are opposites, but novelist and former Harper's Magazine editor Christopher Beha argues that the two may be more intertwined than we assume. In this conversation about his new book, Why I'm Not an Atheist, Beha reflects on his journey from a devout Catholic upbringing to atheism and eventually back to Christian faith. Beha describes how an early mystical experience and later personal tragedy pushed him into deep questions about suffering, prayer, and the nature of belief. In college, those questions led him to identify as a skeptic, valuing reason and intellectual independence. Yet over time he came to see that skepticism itself has limits. The turning point came not through philosophical argument but through life itself, like falling in love and becoming part of a family. Those experiences prompted Beha to return to church, where he began hearing familiar Christian teachings in a new way: not primarily as moral demands or metaphysical propositions, but as a story centered on love and relationship–without setting aside his questions. Together, Russell and Chris reflect on what it means to believe while still wrestling with doubt, how parents might talk with children who are questioning faith, and why the path toward belief often begins not with certainty but with simply showing up. If you've wrestled with the Christian life being sold as putting aside all questions and doubt to choose unwavering certainty, you may appreciate hearing from Chris.  Resources mentioned in this episode: Why I Am Not an Atheist by Christopher Beha Essays by Michel  de Montaigne Keep up with Russell: Sign up for the weekly newsletter where Russell shares thoughtful takes on big questions, offers a Christian perspective on life, and recommends books and music he's enjoying.

Hosts link baptism to ancient rituals where sin was treated as physical filth to be washed away with divine detergents. Can baptism truly cleanse a moral impurity?Thank you for joining us this week!

    B.R is joined by Guns and Guillotines to discuss his path from Atheist to finding Christ, marriage and starting a family, how his views have changed from political to being informed by his newfound faith, the evils of the modern world and Israeli influence on US and British politics, and how the Epstein files are revealing that the rich and powerful have sadistic ties to not just child s*x trafficking, but ritualistic cannibalism.

    Homeschool mom, writer and speaker, Adriana Gomez knows she doesn't have to "arrive" spiritually to obey God, surrender to his call and engage in mentoring relationships. Her passion is  to "serve God and others radically" and sometimes that takes more courage than you think you have. She loves apologetics and is working on a kids apologetics course and book to help us teach our children well in the truths of God. Enjoy our conversation today and ask God, "What are you calling me to do? Help me surrender all." Gems from our conversation: You can practice teaching someone else what God is showing you as you are learning from him. I'm not afraid to share my weakness because it is in that very weakness that God's strength comes through. We don't have to arrive to say "Yes" to Jesus.  I gave up a promising career in education to educate the ones who were most important to me. This life hasn't been easy, but we are seeing the fruits of that sacrifice, and seeing what the Lord has done with the little bit of faith we were able to trust Him with. Our kids pick up on who God is by how we live alongside of them and love them.  My definition of apologetics is being able to defend the Bible inside and outside of the Bible. I quit working entirely, and we were fully dependent on the Lord to provide. But, like David and Goliath, God had already been preparing us for this decision. Adri and her husband got interested in apologetics from listening to these two podcasts:Podcasts that Orlando listened to I Don't Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist.  Frank Turek   The AC podcast (apologetics Canada)   Adri Gomez is a speaker, writer, and homeschooling mother of three who is passionate about helping parents raise rooted, critical-thinking children who know what they believe, why they believe it, and how to live it out boldly. With a background in ministry, early education, and curriculum development, Adri encourages mothers to create homes where faith is lived, questions are welcomed, and spiritual maturity is intentionally fostered through the ordinary rhythms of family life.   Website: www.garlandstograce.com     ~~~ I have a new book! Check it out HERE MOST DAYS, LIFE ISN'T PERFECT I wrote this book for everyone who has felt the pain of being alone because I have felt its sting even surrounded by wonderful people. We're created for relationship, with God and with one another—not because life becomes perfect when we have both God and community. That's not the point. No, it's because most days, life isn't perfect. And remembering we are loved and not alone is what gets us through those days. READ MORE HERE

    This week I'm talking to Nancy Rynes about her Near Death Experience.Nancy Rynes was riding her bicycle when a large SUV approached. The vehicle's driver, absorbed in texting while driving, plowed right into Rynes.Suffering from severe spinal and head injuries, Rynes knew she was dying. At that moment, she underwent the first of two life-changing near-death experiences—her consciousness split between her frightened, injured self laying on the road, and an impartial, peaceful observer-consciousness who watched as first responders fought to keep her alive. Her second, more lengthy near-death experience came days later, during the surgery that attempted to repair her traumatized spine.Rynes, a scientist and confirmed skeptic, was shown the wonders of Heaven, experiencing joy, love, and beauty on such a grand scale that she wept at its magnitude. She then met and spoke with a Being who gave her insights into life, love, and the wonders of Spirit. After her tour of Heaven, she was returned to her body to begin the long, slow process of recovering from injuries her surgeon affirms should have killed her.In her book 'Awakenings from the Light', Rynes recounts the amazing sights of Heaven, and explains the remarkable insights into life she returned with to share with others. She was gifted with a second chance—a precious opportunity to bring a little bit of Heaven into her life on Earth. The wisdom she passes on could well change your life as well.BioMy friends call me "the atheist who went to Heaven."I would never have thought I would be writing a book about spirituality and near-death experiences since I spent my adult life as a scientist and skeptic. Born Roman Catholic, I became an atheist, and later an agnostic, beginning in my late teens when I went off to university to study geology and archaeology. While I started out my education as an artist (at Chicago's American Academy of Art), I went on to earn a degree in geology from Northern Illinois University, then attended the University of Colorado, Boulder, for Masters-level coursework. The sciences taught me to base my views on things I could measure, and since spiritual matters were not measurable, for me they did not exist.During most of my adult life, a part of me hoped there was something more than just physical reality, but I never saw evidence for it. The skepticism remained until January of 2014, when the Divine gave me a wake-up call: an opportunity to return to Spirit! Since my near-death experience, I have returned to a more spiritual and creative life based on the wisdom I learned in Heaven.In the past, I have been an archeological artist, geologist, data analyst, and science/technical writer. But then Heaven threw me a curveball, one I desperately needed. Now I am writing and teaching about my experience of the Divine, what happens when we die, and how we can bring a little bit of "Heaven" to our lives on Earth.https://www.amazon.com/Awakenings-Light-Lessons-Death-Experience-ebook/dp/B010MBT4QC https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/https://www.patreon.com/ourparanormalafterlifeMy book 'Verified Near Death Experiences' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXKRGDFP Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

    Young people today are pushing past their skepticism toward religion to reconsider Jesus in a politically charged, post-truth global culture — something Jase witnesses firsthand after a particularly authentic Gospel presentation. Al meets a young man who “loves Jesus but loathes religion,” prompting the guys to consider the very real concerns people have about the ways human sin has affected churches and organized religion. Zach offers insight into what it truly means to be “born again” in an age obsessed with time, trends, and technology. Plus, Jase teaches young husbands how to execute a “pro move” when it comes to giving gifts to their wives.
