In this episode, Dr. Sean McDowell unpacks why so many Christians feel stuck in compulsive sexual behaviors and how cultural messages often shape our understanding of sexuality more than Scripture. He explores common deceptions believers adopt about their bodies, identity, and desire, and why sexuality is often disconnected from faith. Together, we discuss how to reintegrate sexuality into a holistic, biblical worldview, highlighting key Scriptures that ground God's design. Dr. Sean also offers practical ways to unlearn harmful beliefs, develop a thoughtful apologetic around sexuality, and engage others with truth and grace.

Talbot New Testament scholar Dr. Alan Hultberg joins Sean McDowell to sort out what Scripture says, walk through the three major views, and ask the question everyone wants answered: are we close? Hultberg starts by clearing away the "Left Behind" imagery most of us absorbed from movies and kids' Bible storybooks, then lays out the three positions evangelicals actually debate explaining what separates them, how each handles the tribulation, Israel, and the timing of Christ's return.

In this episode Trent sits down with Protestant professor of apologetics Sean McDowell to discuss his family's apologetic legacy and Sean's work on the martyrdom of the apostles.

Monique and Krista react to Biola University's "Think Biblically" podcast interview featuring JP Foster, author of The Gospel in My Black Skin. We discuss the persistent narrative of racial grievance that dominates the conversation. Hosts, Sean McDowell and Scott Rae ask softball questions with little pushback or analysis, raising fresh concerns about whether Biola is truly turning the corner on how it approaches racial issues. Kevin joins the second half of the conversation with his unfiltered take.

If you've experienced church hurt, spiritual abuse, toxic church leadership, or deep trauma inside a faith community, this conversation is for you. In this episode, we talk honestly about healing, restoration, boundaries, pastoral care, church discipline, and the painful reality of abuse in church culture. We also explore how the gospel, Jesus, and the Bible speak into grief, loss, betrayal, damaged relationships, mental health struggles, and the long road of recovery after spiritual harm. Whether you are an abuse survivor, a church leader, a pastor, or someone wrestling with faith, spirituality, and what biblical leadership should actually look like, this episode offers clarity, discernment, and hope.Naomi Wright of beEmboldened shares her story of surviving spiritual abuse and cult recovery, along with practical wisdom for recognizing unhealthy power dynamics, responding to the covering up of abuse, and pursuing real reconciliation where possible. This is a Christ-centered conversation about faith, healing, accountability, discipleship, and finding hope in Christ after church pain.Resources & Contact Information:beEmboldened Ministries website — https://www.beemboldened.com/beEmboldened YouTube channel — https://www.youtube.com/@beEmboldenedContact beEmboldened: https://www.beemboldened.com/contactWorkshops for churches, survivor groups, and more are available— https://www.beemboldened.com/programsRecommended interview for more of Naomi's story: Sean McDowell & Naomi Wright on YouTube - https://youtu.be/YWl5wvvlo4E?si=L-hxe4eGh_U4mdE_In this episode:Learn the difference between strong, biblical leadership and abusive leadership, and how to recognize red flags in church or ministry relationships.Understand how spiritual abuse can occur in both extreme settings (e.g., cults) and mainstream churches, and how subtler forms are often overlooked or explained away.Get a clear, working definition of spiritual abuse, why it flourishes in certain church cultures, and how leaders and systems unintentionally enable it through silencing, neglect, or misplaced loyalty.Explore the effects of trauma, including why survivors struggle to find language or speak up, and how church responses can either deepen wounds or foster true restoration.Receive practical encouragement: steps for those hurt by spiritual leaders, ways healthy churches can protect and respond, and counsel for church members struggling to understand and support those wounded.Hear pastoral advice for discerning healthy versus toxic church environments, and what real biblical accountability should look like among God's people.Scripture Foundation:Ezekiel 34 anchors our conversation. God's heart is clear—He sees when shepherds harm rather than protect His flock, and He Himself steps in as the Good Shepherd to rescue, heal, and restore. Jesus loves His sheep, calls out false shepherds, and promises justice along with compassionate care for the wounded.We know that for many, church trauma and spiritual abuse bring pain, confusion, and sometimes despair. If you're hurting, please know you are not alone and that Christ is near to the brokenhearted. Gospel-centered healing is possible, and trustworthy help can be found.This podcast is not a substitute for local church shepherding or professional counseling.

"If the universe needs a cause, what caused God?" In this episode, Dr. Sean McDowell and Dr. Tim Pickavance dive into the metaphysical heart of the universe's origin. They move past the scientific data of the Big Bang to explore the logicbehind it. Discover why "nothing" is incapable of creation, why the laws of mathematics are "causally effete," and why an infinite past would make the present moment impossible to reach. Whether you're a skeptic or a believer, this philosophical breakdown offers a rigorous look at the "Voice of Reason" behind existence itself. *Get a MASTERS IN APOLOGETICS or SCIENCE AND RELIGION at BIOLA (https://bit.ly/3LdNqKf) *USE Discount Code [smdcertdisc] for 25% off the BIOLA APOLOGETICS CERTIFICATE program (https://bit.ly/3AzfPFM) *See our fully online UNDERGRAD DEGREE in Bible, Theology, and Apologetics: (https://bit.ly/448STKK) FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA: Twitter: https://x.com/Sean_McDowell TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@sean_mcdowell...

Did the teachings of Jesus actually transform the moral conscience of the West? And if they did… does that point to objective moral truth or just cultural evolution? Today, I sat down with Bart Ehrman to explore one of the most important questions in philosophy and faith: Is morality objective or is it simply a product of human development over time?

Are the arguments for God’s existence still standing… or have they been defeated? After more than four decades of debates, writings, and public discussions, Dr. William Lane Craig offers a fascinating assessment of where the conversation stands today and why belief in God is far from intellectually obsolete. In this in-depth conversation with Sean McDowell, Dr. Craig walks through six major arguments for the existence of God, explaining why he believes they are not only still relevant—but stronger than ever when taken together.

Is Jesus really the only way? Dr. Sean McDowell, a biblical apologist, will join us to teach us how to make defending our faith easier for new as well as lifelong believers. He will answer questions like: Is Christianity a copycat religion? And, does the resurrection matter? Join us to learn how to contend for the faith by knowing what we believe and why we believe it.Become a Parshall Partner: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/inthemarket/partnersSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Is hell eternal conscious punishment or does the Bible teach that the wicked will ultimately be destroyed? This is one of the most debated theological questions among Christians today. Today, we have two leading scholars to explore the biblical case for two different views of hell: eternal conscious punishment and conditional immortality (annihilationism). Together they examine key passages from both the Old and New Testaments and covers major texts such as Daniel 12, Matthew 25, Mark 9, Luke 16, 2 Thessalonians 1, and Revelation 14–20, along with the historical views of the church and the philosophical and pastoral implications of each position. If you're listening to this on the day of release, you can join a live stream conversation with Sean McDowell about this episode on his YouTube channel at 4:30pm Pacific.==========Think Biblically: Conversations on Faith and Culture is a podcast from Talbot School of Theology at Biola University, which offers degrees both online and on campus in Southern California.

"Pornocracy" is one of the most disturbing books I've read in some time, and it’s written from a secular perspective. With my co-host Dr. Scott Rae, we explore the authors’ case that pornography is no longer just “personal entertainment,” but a force reshaping everything from sexual expectations to violence, tech, and society itself.

Why is it that Christians tend to focus on the brokenness of creation rather than its goodness? What if we shifted our attention to highlighting that God made the world to be our home, and as a result, focused on loving the world? Sean and Tim Muehlhoff discuss the proper balance we can find between recognizing the sinfulness and goodness of the world and what this means for discipleship and evangelism. Tim Muehlhoff (PhD, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill) is senior director of Biola's Winsome Conviction Project that seeks to open lines of communication rather than close them. He is the author of multiple books, including "End the Stalemate," with Sean McDowell.
