Trusting God’s love when you don’t feel it, plus how skeptics strengthened Justin Brierley’s faith, and balancing reverence and honesty in prayer. Featured musical artist: Austin Stone Worship Roundtable: Does God Really Care About Me? It’s easy to say “Jesus loves me” in church or when things are going well, but how do you have the faith to say it when God feels incredibly distant? What if circumstances in your life challenge your perception of His goodness, and now you’re wondering if He’s even there? Our guests open up about difficult seasons they’ve been through, the lies they’re tempted to believe about God and themselves, and what it looks like to fight for faith. If you’re wondering if God cares — not in general, but about you in particular — you’ll be encouraged by their stories. Send Us Your Show Ideas Leave Us a Voicemail Culture: Why I’m Still a Christian When was the last time you shared your faith with a non-Christian? Justin Brierley has been conversing with atheists and agnostics (including Richard Dawkins) for years, and he’s passionate about equipping believers to examine secular arguments, test them with Scripture science, and common sense, and then be lights in our culture’s darkness. If you’re intimidated by unbelievers’ unbelief and what they have to say about it, Justin will help you find both courage and kindness for the conversation.

Andrew Rapaport kicks things off with a heartfelt discussion about the importance of serving Christ worldwide, bringing in a special guest, Timothy Hock, affectionately known as Timo. Timo, a missionary on his way to Uruguay, shares his journey from growing up as a missionary kid to feeling the divine nudge to return and serve the very community that shaped him. The episode dives deep into the pressing need for spiritual guidance in Uruguay, where a staggering number of atheists and agnostics roam, and Timo emphasizes the critical role of training local leaders to foster sustainable church growth. Listeners will not only get a glimpse into Timo's plans for church planting and biblical counseling but also find inspiration to consider their own calling, whether that means supporting missions or serving in their own neighborhoods. With a mix of personal anecdotes and insightful dialogue, this episode is both a call to action and a warm reminder of the global Christian community's shared mission.Takeaways: The podcast highlights the importance of supporting missionaries who serve Christ globally, particularly in regions like Uruguay where the need for the Gospel is profound. Timo, a missionary candidate, emphasizes the significance of training national leaders in Uruguay to ensure sustainable church growth and effective evangelism. Listeners are encouraged to pray for Timo and his wife as they prepare for their mission, especially given the challenges of moving to a new culture while expecting a child. The conversation underscores that while some are called to international missions, many can serve effectively within their local communities, making a difference where they are. Timo shares his background as a missionary kid, underscoring how personal experiences shape one's calling and commitment to serve in the mission field. The episode discusses the need for biblical counseling in Uruguay, emphasizing how equipping locals with training can significantly impact the spiritual landscape of the country.

Are angels, demons, and miracles real? Renowned atheist turned Christian author Lee Strobel joins Glenn Beck to explain it all. Lee makes a logical case for the existence of God, like he did in his bestselling book “The Case for Christ.” He touches on everything from why young people are turning to God and why so many Muslims in the Middle East are having dreams about Jesus to what near-death experiences really are and whether we're living in the end times. Plus, Lee dissects some of the biggest questions people have about the supernatural: Are ghosts actually demons? Are angels our deceased relatives? How do you know you're hearing from God? Will AI become the Antichrist? Sponsor: Moxie Pest Control knows exactly how to keep pests out without turning your yard into a chemical war zone.

In today's episode of Truth Wanted, Kelley Laughlin and Eli Slack, work through indoctrination before relaxing into some ghost encountering sleep paralysis. Just try to “free will” yourself out of that state!Adrian, a believer in CA, uses a concordance to support claims of prophecies that have been fulfilled such as the book of Zechariah mentioning piercing. How can you tell the difference between a narrative and a prophecy? How do we know this reference point can be used to get to the truth when there is the potential of bias? How do you prove that something in the Old Testament points to Jesus? Remember, the Bible is not proof of anything; it is just a series of books that make a bunch of claims. It is important to dig deep to discover why and when you started to believe these things. If you were born in India or Arabia, would you still be a Christian? Question the evidence of your beliefs and look for other sources for Christianity besides the Bible. The same standards used to determine if other religious scriptures are real need to be applied to the Bible. Why would you settle for anything less than 100% of prayers being answered? Cynthia in IL, describes an encounter with a ghost while experiencing sleep paralysis in an old dormitory that was thought to be haunted. How do you think perception shaped this experience? Looking back at things with skepticism can be an excellent tool for these things. The brain can do some freaky things! Stephen in Australia asks about free will and rather we truly have it. Where do you think decision making takes place, within the self or outside of the self? You can do what you want, but you can't will what you want. There is a difference between free choice and free will.

A major Pride event just showed its true colors, gatekeeping an LGBTQ+ affirming atheist group. Recovering from Religion, a vital ally for those healing from religious trauma, was disinvited from St. John's Pride after initial approval—likely to appease religious groups. This baffling double standard, where a secular organization committed to dignity gets booted while commercial sponsors are welcome, smacks of hypocrisy. It raises troubling questions about who truly belongs at Pride and highlights a discomfort with non-religious voices, even when they advocate for core Pride values.News Source:LGBTQ affirming atheist group denied booth at St. John's Pride FestivalBy Hemant Mehta for The Friendly AtheistJuly 15, 2025
8/6/25 - St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross, born Edith Stein (1891–1942), was a brilliant Jewish philosopher who became a Catholic nun and martyr at Auschwitz. Raised in a devout Jewish family in Germany, Edith lost her faith in her teens and became an atheist while studying philosophy under Edmund Husserl, becoming one of the leading minds in phenomenology. Her conversion began after reading the autobiography of St. Teresa of Ávila, leading to her baptism in 1922. In 1933, she entered the Discalced Carmelite Order and took the name Teresa Benedicta of the Cross, offering her life as a sacrifice for her people and for peace. Arrested by the Nazis and sent to Auschwitz, she was martyred on August 9, 1942. She was later canonized by Pope St. John Paul II in 1998 and declared a co-patroness of Europe.

Send us a textWhat happens when your faith is tested in the crucible of combat? Greg Crosby discovered this firsthand during his three years in Iraq and Afghanistan, where he learned that indeed, "there are no atheists in foxholes."Greg shares how his spiritual foundation was laid by a mother who embodied Christ's love and a father who served in Vietnam. When facing his own deployment with a disorganized unit in 2004, Greg found himself punching the dashboard of his Humvee, questioning God's plan. In that moment of fear and anger, he remembered his mother's favorite scripture - Psalm 91:11. Writing those words across his visor transformed not just his combat experience, but his entire understanding of faith.The parallels between military strategy and spiritual warfare become strikingly clear as Greg explains how Satan, like any enemy combatant, looks for soft targets - the complacent, unprepared, and vulnerable. "The enemy knows what new looks like. They know what lazy looks like. They know what complacency looks like." His military training gave him exceptional insight into spiritual battles that continue to serve him today.Perhaps most powerful is Greg's testimony about losing close friends in combat, including Army Sgt. Cari Anne Gasiewicz, after whom his daughter is named. This loss taught him hard but transformative lessons about God's sovereignty. When facing possible death himself, the Holy Spirit asked, "Do you think I can take better care of your family than you?" That question liberated him from fear in a way that continues to shape his faith today.Greg's answer to getting the hell out of your life? "Don't let it in." When we truly understand God's providence and protection, we can face any battle with confidence, knowing the war's outcome is already decided.Ready for your miracle? This episode will challenge you to examine what's holding you back from experiencing the peace, purpose, and direction that comes when Jesus transforms your heart and mind from the inside out.Support the showIf you would like to be a guest and share your story, click this link: https://thepromoter.org/story/ Thanks for Listening, and subscribe to hear a new episode each week!

It's Witness Wednesday! Does being raised in a “religious” home guarantee that a child will continue in the faith once they go to college? The conversations you hear in this episode might shock you. Todd is back at Georgia Tech where he will encounter the unfortunate toll post-modernism has had on the minds of young adults. Todd also shares a strategy that proves helpful in evangelistic conversations. Segment 1: • The first student Todd talks with was raised around church but has drifted from Christianity due to friends, science, and disinterest. • He claims to be a “good person”; Todd uses the 10 Commandments to show the student's guilt before God. • He hears the full gospel—Jesus paying his fine so he can be forgiven— and is challenged to decide if it's true. Segment 2: • The next student Todd talks to identifies as Baptist but admits he doesn't know if he's going to heaven. • Todd explains that being religious isn't the same as being born again. • The student is urged to repent, trust in Christ fully, and make his salvation certain by being pointed to Romans to see the truth. Segment 3: • Todd talks with a student that believes in a vague “parent-like” God who disciplines but doesn't condemn. • Todd uses the 10 Commandments to show guilt before a just Judge who must punish sin. • The student hears the gospel—Jesus taking his punishment—and is challenged to determine if it's true. Segment 4: • Kevin embraces postmodern thinking: Catholicism works for him, but “all truths” are valid. • Another student calls himself Christian but doubts Jesus is the only way; breaks all 10 Commandments. • Both students are urged to see Jesus as the only truth, repent, and trust Him alone for salvation. ___ Thanks for listening!

Twitter/X Space 19 July 2025In this episode, I explore the essence of philosophy and its relevance today, reflecting on my 45-year journey. We discuss the importance of humility in philosophical discourse, inspired by Socrates' acknowledgment of ignorance, and critique the rush to judgment among "midwits." I examine moral grounding for atheists and the nature of ethics without divine justification, while engaging with diverse perspectives on morality. As we address the impact of 21st-century technology on human intimacy, I emphasize the need for self-criticism and rational discourse to deepen our understanding of morality.FOLLOW ME ON X! https://x.com/StefanMolyneuxGET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND THE FULL AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Subscribers get 12 HOURS on the "Truth About the French Revolution," multiple interactive multi-lingual philosophy AIs trained on thousands of hours of my material - as well as AIs for Real-Time Relationships, Bitcoin, Peaceful Parenting, and Call-In Shows!You also receive private livestreams, HUNDREDS of exclusive premium shows, early release podcasts, the 22 Part History of Philosophers series and much more!See you soon!https://freedomain.locals.com/support/promo/UPB2025
Twitter Space 17 July 2025In this episode, I examine the relationship between Christian ethics and atheist rationality, questioning why atheists choose honesty. I challenge them to reflect on their moral consistency and free speech, while discussing the implications of their left-leaning political stance. We explore whether objective moral standards exist in atheism and contrast abstract knowledge with its tangible outcomes. The conversation also addresses the societal impact of beliefs, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. My goal is to encourage atheists to articulate their ethical foundations and engage constructively with differing perspectives.FOLLOW ME ON X! https://x.com/StefanMolyneuxGET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND THE FULL AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Subscribers get 12 HOURS on the "Truth About the French Revolution," multiple interactive multi-lingual philosophy AIs trained on thousands of hours of my material - as well as AIs for Real-Time Relationships, Bitcoin, Peaceful Parenting, and Call-In Shows!You also receive private livestreams, HUNDREDS of exclusive premium shows, early release podcasts, the 22 Part History of Philosophers series and much more!See you soon!https://freedomain.locals.com/support/promo/UPB2025

Twitter Space 15 July 2025In this episode, I explore the foundations of ethics and morality in the context of atheism, questioning the source of truthfulness without God. I challenge atheists to articulate their own rationale for morality, critiquing common justifications that often lack depth. Through personal anecdotes and listener engagement, I examine the implications of self-interest in ethical reasoning and stress the importance of accountability. This dialogue promotes a re-evaluation of moral principles, aiming to establish a coherent ethical framework that guides our interactions in a secular world.FOLLOW ME ON X! https://x.com/StefanMolyneuxGET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND THE FULL AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Subscribers get 12 HOURS on the "Truth About the French Revolution," multiple interactive multi-lingual philosophy AIs trained on thousands of hours of my material - as well as AIs for Real-Time Relationships, Bitcoin, Peaceful Parenting, and Call-In Shows!You also receive private livestreams, HUNDREDS of exclusive premium shows, early release podcasts, the 22 Part History of Philosophers series and much more!See you soon!https://freedomain.locals.com/support/promo/UPB2025
In this episode, I explore my personal moral journey, highlighting the stark contrasts between societal values and actual behaviors, particularly regarding the treatment of children. I share my experiences of neglect and abuse during my childhood, reflecting on how the silence from those aware of my suffering illustrates a troubling apathy towards vulnerable individuals. I analyze the contradictions faced in academic and professional settings, where the pursuit of truth often falters in the face of uncomfortable realities. Furthermore, I critique the atheist community's abandonment of moral integrity when it came to my own struggles, questioning the authenticity of their values. This discussion invites listeners to reflect on the alignment between their proclaimed values and their actions, urging a courageous confrontation with uncomfortable truths in pursuit of justice and integrity.FOLLOW ME ON X! https://x.com/StefanMolyneuxGET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND THE FULL AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Subscribers get 12 HOURS on the "Truth About the French Revolution," multiple interactive multi-lingual philosophy AIs trained on thousands of hours of my material - as well as AIs for Real-Time Relationships, Bitcoin, Peaceful Parenting, and Call-In Shows!You also receive private livestreams, HUNDREDS of exclusive premium shows, early release podcasts, the 22 Part History of Philosophers series and much more!See you soon!https://freedomain.locals.com/support/promo/UPB2025
