What is the truth about what history really reveals about how the apostles died? What did Foxes Book of Martyrs get right, and what did it get wrong? I published my Ph.D. dissertation on the deaths of the apostles in 2014, an academic book in 2015, and just completed a 1-year update (Routledge). In this video, David Wood asks me all the right questions about their fates. Enjoy...and please share!

Is There Something More? – Laura Zifer Powell's story

The Side B Podcast

Laura Zifer Powell seemed to be doing everything right. A top-tier student and Division I athlete at Duke University, she was driven, disciplined, and outwardly successful. But beneath the surface, something was missing. The more she achieved, the emptier she felt. And when a health crisis brought everything to a halt, the questions she had avoided for years finally caught up with her: What is all this for? What's the point of being good if it still doesn't satisfy? In this candid conversation, Laura shares her journey from moral pragmatist and religious skeptic to a confident follower of Christ. She opens up about the moment everything changed—a late-night plea to a God she wasn't sure existed, and the quiet unraveling that followed. If you've ever asked, “Is this all there is?” or wrestled with the gap between outward success and inward emptiness, Laura's story offers more than answers—it offers hope. Guest Bio: Laura Zifer Powell is a Christian apologist, writer, and speaker. She is the founder of An Affair with Reason and co-host of the Knight and Rose Show podcast. She graduated from Duke University with a bachelor's in public policy, earned her master's degree from Denver Seminary, and is currently working on her Doctor of Ministry in Public Theology from Birmingham Theological Seminary. She has ministered in over thirty countries on five continents and has seen first-hand how false worldviews harm and destroy God's image bearers, while the Christian worldview leads people and societies toward human flourishing. As an apologist, she shares evidence for the biblical worldview and discusses how our worldview ought to impact every area of life, from our relationships to our public policy and economics. Her blog, previous interviews, and speaking request form can be found at her website, www.AnAffairWithReason.com, and her 20-lesson online course, Islam Foundations, is available at womeninapologetics.com.

Last week, Frank introduced three compelling reasons to believe in the resurrection, including embarrassing details and eyewitness testimony. In this midweek episode, he jumps back into more archaeological discoveries that include names of people involved in the death and crucifixion of Jesus and how the excruciating deaths of the eyewitnesses offer powerful evidence that they weren't lying as well. He also answers questions like:Did any of the apostles recant their eyewitness testimony and is it possible that they were hallucinating?Were the apostles motivated to invent the resurrection story and should their testimony be dismissed because they were Christians?Is martyrdom also evidence that Islam is true?What does Spiderman have to do with the reliability of the New Testament?Is the New Testament just a work of historical fiction?Can other world religions be defended with apologetics?Why are skeptics and non-Christians often motivated to reject Christianity?Later in the episode, Frank draws from major cultural events in modern U.S. history—like 9/11, the OJ Simpson trial, and the Rodney King incident—to reveal how human bias can shape the way we interpret evidence and how “impact events” can help us in evaluating the historicity of the New Testament.

Differences of opinion have always been part of life. It's not new to agree and disagree about politics, social issues, religion, current events, and even sports. But when we did disagree, it didn't used to cause a break-up between family and friends. Nowadays, we live in an argument culture that has led to nearly one-third of people reporting they have stopped talking to a friend or family member due to a disagreement. Plus, nearly two-thirds of people say they stay quiet about their beliefs because they're afraid of offending others or getting beat up online. Well today's guest, Sean McDowell, wants to help you end this stalemate. Christians are called to be God's ambassadors, which means we need to engage in a sincere and loving way with those around us—especially those with different perspectives.
