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.

Today, we sit down with Dr. Sean McDowell, professor, apologist, and author, to discuss all things Holy Week.

We also talk about whether or not Christians should be celebrating Passover and other Jewish holidays as well as the ongoing debate over whether Easter is actually pagan in nature. Dr. McDowell also answers some apologetics questions for us and gives some advice on how to look for our own spiritual blind spots in our walks with God.

Brady provides in-depth commentary on the theological implications, concerns, and the broader cultural impact of Side B theology.Key TakeawaysWords Matter – The term gay Christian carries theological and cultural implications that contradict biblical teaching.Sanctification is Ongoing – Christians are called to transformation, not to embrace sinful desires as permanent.The Church Must Be Clear – Ambiguity in language and identity creates confusion both inside and outside the church.Love & Truth Go Hand in Hand – Christians should show love and grace but remain firm in biblical truth.Join us weekly as we strive help people embrace God's standard for sexuality! Other ways to listen:https://linktr.ee/calibrateconversations#BiblicalSexuality #SideBTheology #ChristianIdentity

Episode Notes When it comes to controversial topics, it's tempting to go to one of two extremes—to engage people with vitriol, anger, and contentiousness in our determination to make them see things our way or to totally avoid talking about important yet potentially controversial subjects altogether in an attempt to “keep the peace.” Neither is a viable option for followers of Jesus. In this episode, Dr. Sean McDowell joins Dr. Keith Plummer to talk about having meaningful and respectful conversations with those with whom we have strong disagreements.

This book, by Sean McDowell and Jonathan Morrow, explores many questions raised by the new atheists.  This podcast covers one key question: Is hell a divine torture chamber?

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. So, let's revive the art of meaningful conversations and cancel this cancel culture! SHOW NOTES: 413Podcast.com/336  Read the episode TRANSCRIPT in the show notes.

January's FTMonthly Josh tackles a recent dialogue about LGBTQ+ inclusion in the church between  @SeanMcDowell  and Brandan Robertson, Why a 400 pound woman is suing Lyft and more.

How can Christians best engage their family and friends? Jesus models how to do this in his encounter with "sinners." There are some BIG lessons to learn and mistakes to avoid if we can follow the example of Jesus. Enjoy this sermon, which was from Yorba Linda Friends Church (Nov 17, 2024), and please take the warning and encouragement to heart.

As we engage in all of the Christmas festivities over the next several days, we must take the time to reflect on and celebrate the true reason for the season, Jesus! Yet, although many may know and remember the words of John 3:16 which says, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life,” many struggle to understand the why behind their belief and how they might share it with others. That is why on this Christmas Eve we are bringing on one of the foremost leading Christian apologists in the world to help educate, equip, and encourage to not only understand the WHY behind our faith, but also help us understand how we can more effectively witness and share the truth of God’s love with others, Dr. Sean McDowell. Sean is a gifted communicator with a passion for equipping the church, and in particular young people, to make the case for the Christian faith. He connects with audiences in a tangible way through humor and stories while imparting hard evidence and logical support for viewing all areas of life through a Biblical worldview. Sean is an Associate Professor in the Christian Apologetics program at Talbot School of Theology, Biola University. Additionally, he is the author, co-author, or editor of over twenty books and is listed among the top 100 apologists in the world! 1 Peter 3:15 says, “Always be ready to give an explanation to anyone who asks you for a reason for your hope.” Our prayer is that this conversation would equip you with that explanation today and forevermore.

In this video, I'm taking a deep dive into the episode behind a well-known clip of Oprah that's been widely shared in Christian circles. It's sparked a lot of discussion about her beliefs and where they stand in relation to Christianity. But I believe there's more to this clip than what's on the surface.I go over the majority of the episode, show what you didn't see, analyze Oprah and the panel's beliefs, and explore the spiritual questions raised, giving a lot of commentary on what I would consider to be unrecognized New Thought beliefs. This is not just about Oprah or another "Oprah EXPOSED" video. This is about something bigger—a set of beliefs that isn't going anywhere and I promise you at some point in your Christian walk, you'll be confronted with these arguments and beliefs this panel puts forth. I want you to be equipped.On top of this, I also give some (maybe) unpopular opinions about the interaction between Oprah and an outspoken audience member. I thought this would be a shorter video, but… that just didn't happen. Even for how long this turned out, I still could have spent another hour (or more) analyzing this episode and the clip in question.

In part four of our deep dive into the Beyond the Porn Phenomenon report, we're joined by Dr. Sean McDowell to discuss the subtle dangers of denial and rationalization around pornography within Christian communities. Dr. McDowell shares insights from his years of research and experience in helping the church engage with this difficult topic. We address questions around why so many feel “comfortable” with their struggles, the vital role of recovery ministries, and how the church can create a compassionate, welcoming space for true transformation. Join us for a conversation that sheds light on a subject too often left in the shadows. Dr. Sean McDowell is a renowned professor, author, apologist, and a contributing voice to Beyond the Porn Phenomenon.Resources:Sean's YoutubeSean's WebsiteThink Biblically PodcastOrder ‘Beyond The Porn Phenomenon Now!'Barna Website GET STARTEDFree eBook: 7 Keys To Understanding Betrayal TraumaFree eBook: 5 Steps to Freedom From PornSchedule Your Free 15-Minute Counseling ConsultationJoin A Pure Desire Online Group SOCIALSFollow us on FacebookFollow us on InstagramFollow us on X (Twitter)
