"Faith isn't a switch you flip or a muscle you flex. It's like gravity ...when it's there, you feel it pulling you, and when it's gone, there's no pretending it's still there." Colten Joel Thane BarnabyThis Earth Xperience explores belief, love, and what it means to evolve beyond what you were taught without losing your desire to understand. Colten Joel Thane Barnaby, a former Pentecostal raised in a multigenerational family of pastors, shares his journey from childhood faith to questioning every structure that shaped him. Once a Bible scholar and seminary student, Colten now identifies as an agnostic atheist with an open curiosity toward truth, consciousness, and human connection.Together we explore what happens when the search for truth outgrows certainty. Colten recalls his early experiences speaking in tongues at five years old, his family's deep church legacy, and the moment he realized that understanding mattered more than agreement. The conversation moves from deconstructing faith to redefining love through personal experience and philosophy, weaving insights from thinkers like Bell Hooks and Scott Peck.Colten's reflections extend beyond religion into what it means to live and love consciously. He describes marriage as both fragile and sacred, not because it is unbreakable but because it requires constant care. He challenges capitalist and individualistic systems that isolate people from community and argues that true humanity depends on interdependence, not independence.Each Earth Xperience has its own fingerprint, shaped by the story of the guest. The X represents anything you choose to explore, express, or expand. In this episode, the X is an Experience with Colten Joel Thane Barnaby, a writer, creator, and podcast host who explores belief systems, spirituality, and human connection through honest conversation. You can connect with him on Instagram and TikTok at @coltenbarnaby and watch his new podcast Ask the Next Question on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, and Spotify.Questions to reflect on:• What does faith mean to you when it's no longer tied to certainty?• How much of your belief system was inherited versus chosen?• Can love exist without belief in God?• When you let go of a framework, what do you hold onto instead?• What happens when truth and comfort no longer align?• How can questioning become a form of worship?• What makes a human if not what we believe, but how we connect?

In today's episode of The Atheist Experience, Justin (Deconstruction Zone) and Mike Briggs (Geology Daddy) tackle the nature of morality outside of religion, cosmological origins, and deep critiques of biblical literalism and theological consistency.Sam in FL promotes the "cult of X," defined by hedonism and lack of morality, claiming it is his faith. Recognizing him as a troll, the hosts insist on a clear argument for his specific God, noting he provides no philosophical substance. Larry in TX discusses secular humanism and theists' misperceptions of atheist morality. Mike stresses morality is internal, based on introspection and empathy, not divine authority. Justin suggests critiquing supposedly "objective" God-given morals using internal biblical examples (slavery, genocide). Hollis in WA, who is deconstructing, questions why God did not reconcile the fallen angels. Justin explains this is an ancient, widespread archetypal theme across Near Eastern mythologies. The hosts clarify that the Satan-as-fallen-angel idea developed much later, noting the biblical inconsistency that other fallen angels are imprisoned. Ahmed in Germany questions the cause of the Big Bang and the need for a creator, citing suffering as a potential test. Mike explains that quantum fluctuations in a vacuum might spontaneously produce universes, noting the Big Bang may not be the beginning. The hosts challenge the test premise and expose the God of the Gaps fallacy. Marilyn argues "we're all gods" because we are the image of God and claims atheists are closer to the truth than Christians who require a master. Mike challenges her ambiguous definition of "God" and points out the contradiction in her simultaneous belief in Jesus as *the* son of God. Justin criticizes her "perfect design" concept using common physical flaws (choking, needing glasses). Ulrich in Mexico claims veganism is wrong and that lacking connection to God "messes up your mind." Justin demands substantive evidence for his God rather than mere complaint. Using internal biblical critique, Justin pressures O Rick on the moral acceptability of Deuteronomy 22 (stoning non-virgins) and 1 Samuel 15:3 (killing Amalekite babies). O Rick repeatedly evades the questions, exposing his theological inconsistency. Des in Jamaica, who is deconstructing, asks what prevents atheists from being evil, arguing fear of eternal consequence keeps Christians moral. Mike explains morality is an evolutionary adaptation driven by empathy and social cooperation. Justin argues Christian theology offers no moral consequence, as sins are forgiven solely by accepting Jesus, meaning moral behavior is irrelevant to destination. Billy in KY, an older atheist living in the Bible Belt, expresses his struggles with the chastisement and ridicule he faces in his community after deconstructing his Christian faith. Justin validates his position, noting that reading the Bible is often the key to deconverting believers. Thank you for joining us this week!

There is something at the center of our shared human experience, something deep in our souls, that longs to cry out to something beyond ourselves. Every person—man, woman, and child, Christian, Buddhist, or even Atheist—will find it hard not to exclaim their gratitude to a ‘Higher Power' for the greatest joys in life, or beg that same ‘Power' for deliverance in their most dire time of need. For the Christian, that ‘Higher Power' is the one true God revealed in Jesus Christ, and that ‘crying out' is a spiritual act called prayer—the sixth pillar in The Relentless Pursuit.

Proving the Resurrection: When Evidence Meets Axiomatic FaithJoel Settecase takes us deep into one of the most foundational truths of Christianity—the resurrection of Jesus Christ—and shows why our defense of that truth must start with Scripture, not autonomous reason or mere probability. In this powerful episode, Joel revisits a blog post he wrote over a decade ago, analyzing his own youthful apologetic mistakes and revealing how a presuppositional approach transforms our understanding of evidence, logic, and faith.Joel walks through how to engage skeptics biblically, dismantle atheistic assumptions, and build an apologetic that honors Christ as Lord in your heart and argument. Learn how to show that the resurrection is not just probable—it's necessary, because the Bible says it and the Bible is the foundation for all knowledge.This episode is both a theological deep dive and a practical apologetics masterclass for Christian men who want to stand firm in truth, lead with courage, and disciple their families to do the same.Calls to ActionJoin the Hammer & Anvil Society — the Ultimate Discipleship Community for Christian Men.Are you ready to lead with strength, courage, and faith?

Betty Guadagno shared her transformative near-death experience at age 35, detailing her journey from a hardcore atheist to a spiritual seeker. Raised in a non-religious household, Betty faced a traumatic childhood marked by addiction, poverty, and sexual abuse. After her parents' overdose, she turned to drugs, leading to a life of crime and self-destruction. Her near-death experience involved a life review, collective life experiences, and a spontaneous kundalini awakening. This led to her spiritual awakening, recovery, and transformation into a spiritual coach, emphasizing the importance of self-love and community healing.Betty Guadagno discusses her journey from overcoming addiction and loss to becoming a transformation coach and substance use disorder recovery worker. She shares her near-death experience, which led her to spiritual awakening and involvement with the International Association for Near-Death Studies. Betty emphasizes the importance of integrating spiritual experiences into daily life and the value of community and service. She addresses the fear of death, the concept of heaven, and the significance of earthly experiences. Betty also advises against watching the news, stresses the importance of present-moment awareness, and encourages seeking support during spiritual awakenings.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/next-level-soul-podcast-with-alex-ferrari--4858435/support.

Six years ago, Joel Settecase published a provocative article titled “30 Questions to Ask Atheists, Agnostics & Skeptics.” Now, for the first time, someone has answered them—publicly. In this episode of The Think Institute Thursday, Joel reads and responds to a detailed blog post by atheist writer Dalbert from Daily Kos, who attempted to take on all 30 questions point-by-point.Using a presuppositional apologetics approach, Joel doesn't just refute Dalbert's responses—he exposes the underlying assumptions and demonstrates how only the Christian worldview can account for reason, truth, and morality. This episode is a masterclass in how to lovingly and logically engage with unbelief.What you'll learn:How atheists answer worldview challenges—and where their logic breaks downWhy morality, logic, and truth can't exist without GodThe key difference between presuppositional and evidential apologeticsHow to use questions to lead unbelievers toward gospel truthReferenced articles:The Original 30 QuestionsDalbert's Response on Daily KosSupport the mission:Join the Hammer & Anvil Society — thethink.institute/societyPartner with The Think Institute — thethink.institute/partnerSubscribe for more weekly content on worldview, theology, and apologetics.

Are Christians the crazy people who believe in fairy tales about an invisible God? Is the Bible just a collection of made-up stories? Or is it possible that believing all the Bible says about God is the most logical conclusion we can draw from the evidence? Find out in "From Atheist to Christian," a compelling new class taught by Pastor Chad on Wednesday nights @ New Hope.

In today's episode of The Atheist Experience, Forrest Valkai and Godless Engineer dismantle claims regarding prerequisites for end-times prophecy and critically analyze an English teacher's grammatical objections to using singular "they/them" pronouns.Anson in gerrymandered anuses asserts end times prophecy required the 1948 rebirth of Israel, arguing Paul was mistaken about Christ's imminent return. Hosts critique this "going out of business" scheme, asking why God is constrained by geopolitics and human evil. They reject the claim that atrocities like the Holocaust could be "worth it" for salvation. Why must suffering precede divine intervention?Jason in misanthropic orangutans, an English teacher, objects to singular "they/them" usage on rigid grammatical grounds, preferring "one" or "we." Hosts note that singular "they" has been standard since the 1300s, citing the Oxford English Dictionary. They argue that refusing a requested pronoun in favor of using a person's name is unnecessarily difficult, dismissive of their identity, and driven by personal comfort. Is linguistic conformity more important than human respect?Thank you for watching this chaotic episode.

Atheist Attempts To Disprove God It's now Dr. Gordon Stein's turn in the debate. This atheist attempts to disprove God in 11 different ways. However, what seems to happen here is the use of an odd definition for God and an actual need for one more argument - the one Dr. Bahnsen uses.

Nelson joins Conversations with Buddy to talk life and marriage and share a story that's both rugged and redemptive. Growing up in Scio, Oregon, Nelson's early life looked like something out of a storybook — a three-story log cabin on five acres. But when his parents divorced, everything changed. He and his siblings found themselves without a home, living in tents on a friend's property before settling into a run-down single-wide trailer in Marion, Oregon. Those early struggles shaped Nelson's resilience and faith, even when life didn't make sense.As one of five kids and homeschooled until high school, Nelson's transition into public school was one of his hardest challenges. But it was through life's bumps and bruises — both physical and spiritual — that he began to understand who God really is. Though he grew up in a Christian home and always believed in God, it wasn't until age 30, after reading Frank Turek's I Don't Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist, that Nelson's faith became concrete and personal.A thrill-seeker by nature, Nelson poured his energy into extreme sports like BMX and snowboarding, collecting more than his share of injuries along the way — from concussions and fractures to a blown-out knee. These days, his passion is disc golf, though even that hasn't been injury-free! But beyond the competition, Nelson finds joy in the simple, grounding moments — especially cooking for his family. He's the chef of the house, preparing 90% of their meals with creativity and love.In this episode, we dig deep into themes like self-reflection, forgiveness, leaving the nest, and what it really means to live courageously. Nelson's story is one of grace, grit, and gratitude — a reminder that God often uses the hardest chapters to reveal His greatest work. From living in tents to standing firm in faith, Nelson's life is a living picture of what it means to walk in God's purpose.“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.”~ Ephesians 2:8–10 (NIV)#conversationswithbuddy #faithandresilience#graceinthejourney #Godshandiwork#courageousfaith_ _ _For more stories like this, go to: https://www.youtube.com/@BuddyJamesPuckettIf you or someone you know want to be on the podcast, please reach out to me on Instagram @conversationswithbuddy or text me at 503-851-8031. _ _ _About Buddy Puckett:Buddy Puckett has been in the mortgage and finance space and mentoring men for over 25 years.  A mentoring opportunity all started when he first began in the mortgage industry in 1998, when he began to mentor a younger guy who happened to be married.  This person was not making great choices and it was sadly affecting his marriage.  We all are 1 decision away from something really dumb, so accountability became something Buddy knew he needed as well.  Buddy's wife, Shawn, suggested he start a podcast in 2022 to share the stories of people who have struggled,failed, overcame by realizing the life of love, joy and peace is only available through a relationship with Jesus Christ! “Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, and the truth and the life; no one comes to the Father except through Me'.” John 14:6Buddy Puckett -NMLS #270057 - OR, WA, AZGuild Mortgage Company NMLS #3274 | Equal Housing Opportunity

Near-Death experiences, demon-possessed cars, miraculous lottery wins, and miracles that seem absolutely unbelievable – this week on the show I'm by Dr. John Sottosanti, an atheist surgeon, to tell his outrageous conversion to Catholicism and a deeper faith in Christ. Raised nominally Catholic, John drifted away from the faith an into a successful dental practice but was hounded – haunted, even – by the Catholicism of his childhood. Confronted, again and again, by the most incredible miracles this is the story of the "Hound of Heaven," and His pursuit of even the one lost sheep – until he came back into the fold. This is such an amazing story. John is an incredible storyteller!For more from John visit his website. Send your feedback to cordialcatholic@gmail.com.

We start by discussing why we need to know about economic theory, whether economics is a science, and how it is theory-driven. We also discuss whether Homo economicus exists, explanation and prediction in economics, and whether it is ideology-driven. We talk about game theory, why we can't do without economic theory, and institution design.

Trump's latest executive memo takes aim at “anti-Christian” Americans—and somehow that includes us and most of our listeners! Yep, under his new NSPM-7 directive, atheists officially make the terrorist watchlist. This week, Frank and Dan dig into what the memo actually says, why it's terrifying (and absurd), and what it means for anyone who's not worshipping at the altar of Trump. Plus: The death of LDS prophet Russell M. Nelson at 101, a new female Archbishop of Canterbury, Malaysia says you can't quit Islam once you've joined, a Texas megachurch pastor gets a shockingly light sentence, a Nepal crowns a two-year-old living goddess, and the Vatican's Swiss Guard loses its beloved clown suits.
