From Death to Life: Your New Identity in Christ In this moving and powerful message, Evan Wilkerson opens up about his personal journey through addiction, shame, and hopelessness—and the overwhelming mercy and love of God that brought him back to life. Preaching from Ephesians 2, Evan reminds us that we were once dead in sin, but God, rich in mercy, raised us up and seated us in heavenly places with Christ. You are no longer defined by your past. You are now a beloved child of God, fully forgiven and deeply loved.

How do your biases affect what kinds of arguments and evidence you will accept? Is it just based on the quality (or lack thereof) of the arguments, or is it possible to blind yourself to reason? Jamie tries again to make the case that Scott is just not giving his arguments a fair shake. In "Spin the Wheel", Jamie talks about his take on the separation of church and state, and Scott talks about that old chestnut, Pascal's Wager. As further study Jamie recommends "Making Sense of God: An Invitation to the Skeptical" by Timothy Keller, and Scott recommends "The Believing Brain: From Ghosts and Gods to Politics and Conspiracies - How We Construct Beliefs and Reinforce Them as Truths" by Michael Shermer.

How can you help secular people make sense of God? Cultural, emotional, and volitional obstacles often stand in the way of belief for skeptics, even when they are presented with reasonable arguments. How can we address those obstacles to move the skeptic towards faith in Christ? In this special edition ENCORE podcast episode, Frank interviews world renowned pastor and best-selling author, Dr. Timothy Keller, who recently passed away from pancreatic cancer. Recorded back in 2016, Dr. Keller discusses his book ‘Making Sense of God: An Invitation to the Skeptical', which includes essential truths that are still relevant for both Christians and skeptics today. This is not your typical apologetics book, because it does more than provide factual evidence for the truth of Christianity. It aims to awaken the sense of transcendence that most of us have latent in our intuitions and desires—meaning, satisfaction, freedom, hope, justice (or a moral compass), and an identity grounded in something stable, something eternal. While we mourn the passing of Dr. Keller, we are truly grateful for the legacy he leaves behind. His contributions to the Church at large and Christian apologetics remain relevant and are sure to have a lasting impact on future generations.

The Kellers explain their motivation to provide a more substantive devotional that engages with scripture and prayer, sharing their personal experiences with the Psalms and emphasizing the importance of engaging deeply with the passages through reflection and self-examination. In a sermon following the 9/11 attack in New York City, Tim Keller explores the Christian resurrection, explaining that Jesus promises not just consolation, but the transformation of all suffering and the restoration of a new world where everything is made right. Tim Keller emphasizes how Jesus serves as the perfect counselor, offering tailored responses of truth, tears, and grace to people in need.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Episode 542 | Adriel Sanchez and Bill Maier answer caller questions. Show Notes CoreChristianity.com 1. I find myself struggling with the balance between being dedicated to growing in my faith and recognizing that I cannot fix myself. I’m wondering, how can I find peace in that tension that I am still growing? 2. I go to a church where a lot of people speak in tongues. I don’t understand it, and because I don’t, it makes me feel like I’m not a good a Christian. Why would God give a gift to some people and not to others? 3. Everywhere I look, there’s always a solid argument against the existence of God, or the reliability of the Bible, whether it’s logical or scientific. How can I combat these as a believer? 4. Where did Paul go to church, since he was always moving back and forth so much?

When God reveals Himself to us in a new way, it is His invitation to us to enter into a whole new level of relationship with Him. Isaiah saw the Lord, high and lifted up, full of holiness and glory. God was inviting him to be His prophet and speak for Him to a wandering nation, Israel. In the same way, He is inviting us into deeper relationship with Him and desiring for us to see Him in a whole new way!

Dave Lomas speaks on Reality SF's value of faith as trust in God in Genesis 15, Mark 5, and Psalm 73.

Guest Info/Bio: This week we crack our echo chamber and speak with pastor and author Dr. Timothy Keller of Redeemer Presbyterian Church in New York. He speaks with us about the importance of doubt. Doubt is very important. So important that we must even train ourselves to "doubt our doubts". Timothy Keller is the founding pastor of Redeemer Presbyterian Church in Manhattan, which he started in 1989 with his wife, Kathy, and three young sons. For over twenty years he has led a diverse congregation of young professionals that has grown to a weekly attendance of over 5,000. He is also Chairman of Redeemer City to City, which starts new churches in New York and other global cities, and publishes books and resources for faith in an urban culture. In over ten years they have helped to launch over 250 churches in 48 cities. More recently, Dr. Keller’s books, including the New York Times bestselling The Reason for God and The Prodigal God, have sold over 1 million copies and been translated into 15 languages. Christianity Today has said, “Fifty years from now, if evangelical Christians are widely known for their love of cities, their commitment to mercy and justice, and their love of their neighbors, Tim Keller will be remembered as a pioneer of the new urban Christians.” Dr. Keller was born and raised in Pennsylvania, and educated at Bucknell University, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, and Westminster Theological Seminary. He previously served as the pastor of West Hopewell Presbyterian Church in Hopewell, Virginia, Associate Professor of Practical Theology at Westminster Theological Seminary, and Director of Mercy Ministries for the Presbyterian Church in America. Recently, Dr. Keller released his latest book “Making Sense of God: An Invitation to the Skeptic” In an earlier book, The Reason for God, the author made a case for Christianity; Making Sense of God starts further back, addressing people who strongly doubt that any version of religion or faith makes sense or has anything of value to offer the contemporary world. In his trademark accessible prose, New York Times best-selling author Timothy Keller invites those who have dismissed Christianity as irrelevant to reconsider. As the founder of Redeemer Presbyterian Church in New York City, Dr. Keller has spent decades engaging with skeptics of all persuasions, from the hostile to the hopeful, in personal conversations, sermons, and books, which have sold over two million copies. http://www.timothykeller.com/books/making-sense-of-god Twitter: @timkellernyc Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TimKellerNYC Website: www.timothykeller.com Special guest music on this episode provided by: All Sons and Daughters www.allsonsanddaughters.com Instagram: allsonsanddaughters Twitter: @allsanddmusic Facebook:allsonsanddaughters Enjoy the songs?
