Skepticism is NOT a fruit of the Spirit. In John 19, Jesus died. In John 20, He was resurrected. And after that, He appeared to His apostles in the Upper Room. However, one was missing. And he didn't believe the other ten. The 'doubts' of Thomas will be the focus of today's study. Questions That We'll Answer: A) What are the proofs of Christ's resurrection? B) What else do we know about 'Doubting Thomas?' C) What does this text teach us about 'faith?' Speaker: Rev. Dr. Toby B. Holt

Trusting God’s love when you don’t feel it, plus how skeptics strengthened Justin Brierley’s faith, and balancing reverence and honesty in prayer. Featured musical artist: Austin Stone Worship Roundtable: Does God Really Care About Me? It’s easy to say “Jesus loves me” in church or when things are going well, but how do you have the faith to say it when God feels incredibly distant? What if circumstances in your life challenge your perception of His goodness, and now you’re wondering if He’s even there? Our guests open up about difficult seasons they’ve been through, the lies they’re tempted to believe about God and themselves, and what it looks like to fight for faith. If you’re wondering if God cares — not in general, but about you in particular — you’ll be encouraged by their stories. Send Us Your Show Ideas Leave Us a Voicemail Culture: Why I’m Still a Christian When was the last time you shared your faith with a non-Christian? Justin Brierley has been conversing with atheists and agnostics (including Richard Dawkins) for years, and he’s passionate about equipping believers to examine secular arguments, test them with Scripture science, and common sense, and then be lights in our culture’s darkness. If you’re intimidated by unbelievers’ unbelief and what they have to say about it, Justin will help you find both courage and kindness for the conversation.

A caller named Marianne asked Patrick Madrid how to explain to her evangelical son-in-law that Mary remained a virgin her whole life, especially since he believes the Bible says Jesus had brothers in the literal sense. The Teaching in a Nutshell Catholic dogma says Mary was a virgin before the conception of Jesus, during His birth, and after His birth for the rest of her life. Jesus was her only child. This belief isn’t just Catholic tradition; Patrick argues it’s what the Bible itself supports when understood correctly. The ‘Brothers of Jesus’ Problem Many Protestants point to verses like: Matthew 13:55 - “Isn’t this the carpenter’s son? Isn’t his mother’s name Mary, and aren’t his brothers James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas?” Mark 6:3 - Similar listing of “brothers” of the Lord. Patrick explains: In the Bible, “brother” (adelphos in Greek) has a wide range of meanings. It can mean biological brother, but also cousin, nephew, or even close family friend. Example: In Genesis 14:14, Lot is called Abraham’s “brother”, but we know from other passages that Lot was actually Abraham’s nephew. The Famous “Until” Verse Critics love to quote Matthew 1:25: “[Joseph] had no marital relations with her until she had given birth to a son.” -Some assume “until” means they started relations afterward. -But in biblical usage, “until” (heōs in Greek) does not mean a change afterward. -Patrick’s analogy: “Grandma didn’t take her medicine until she died.” That doesn’t mean she took it after! The ‘Firstborn’ Title Luke 2:7 calls Jesus Mary’s “firstborn.” Skeptics think that means there must have been a “second-born.” Not so! In Jewish law, firstborn is a legal term for the child who opens the womb, whether or not more children follow. Even an only child is still the “firstborn” in biblical and legal language. A Cross-Shaped Clue At the crucifixion (John 19:26-27), Jesus entrusted His mother to John, not to one of His “brothers.” If Mary had other biological sons, this would have been unthinkable in Jewish culture; her care would automatically go to them. The fact that Jesus chose John is silent but strong proof that Mary had no other children. The Early Church’s United Voice From the very beginning, Christians, including those who personally knew the Apostles, unanimously affirmed Mary’s perpetual virginity. No significant leader questioned it until the mid-4th century, when a man named Helvidius claimed otherwise. St. Jerome, a brilliant Scripture scholar and translator, wrote an entire work Against Helvidius, dismantling every argument point-by-point. Even Luther & Calvin Agreed Here’s a surprise for many Protestants: Martin Luther and John Calvin, the founders of the Reformation and fierce opponents of Catholicism, both affirmed Mary’s perpetual virginity. They didn’t accept it because the Catholic Church said so; they accepted it because the biblical and historical evidence for it was airtight. Why the Disagreement Today? Patrick brings up that many modern Christians reject this teaching for one simple reason: “If the Catholic Church teaches it, it must be wrong.”They then go hunting for Bible verses that seem to contradict it. But none of those verses, when understood in context, actually prove Mary had other children. Mary’s perpetual virginity isn’t an “extra Catholic add-on.” It’s rooted in Scripture, confirmed by history, defended by the early Church Fathers, and even upheld by the first Protestant Reformers. For anyone truly willing to look at the evidence, and not just react against Catholicism, the case is clear: Mary was, is, and always will be the Virgin Mother of Jesus.

One of the questions that comes up is, how did the Bible come down to us? When and how did the 27 books of the New Testament become the Bible? Skeptics offer all kinds of alternative views, yet both Scripture and history have much to share on this subject. In this session, we'll address the importance of the early nature of the New Testament writings and the fact that they were accepted very early as Scripture.

In this episode of The First Day from The Fundraising School, host Bill Stanczykiewicz, Ed.D., sits down with Muhsin Hassan, Managing Director at Lever for Change, to unpack the power, and practicality, of nonprofit collaboration. Drawing from his role advising the Community Collaboration Initiative led by the Muslim Philanthropy Initiative at the Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy, Hassan explains why partnerships aren't just nice-to-have, they're mission multipliers. From maximizing impact during economic downturns to sparking innovation across issue areas, collaboration can create better ideas, stronger fundraising, and more efficient service delivery. Hassan shares how the initiative brought together 21 Muslim-led nonprofits from across the U.S., ranging from local to national reach, to explore shared solutions. The three-year effort wasn't donor-driven from the top down, but intentionally designed to listen to community needs and prioritize equity among partners. Common threads emerged between seemingly different missions: healthcare access, education, civic engagement, and refugee support leading to big-picture strategies like “one-stop shop” service models for new Americans. And yes, there was a built-in incentive: each participating organization received a $250,000 grant to implement their collaborative plans. The conversation digs into what makes collaborations work: intentional design, time to build trust, and intermediaries who handle logistics so nonprofits can focus on the work. The CCI team acted as that connective tissue, setting agendas, facilitating conversations, and ensuring equity between grantees and donors. This created space for candid dialogue, something that doesn't always happen in traditional philanthropy, and fostered genuine partnerships rather than compliance-driven alliances. Challenges? Of course. Some organizations realized the timing wasn't right and bowed out gracefully, underscoring the need for flexibility and openness to think beyond one's own program lane. Hassan closes with advice for any nonprofit, regardless of cause area or cultural context; there are always lessons to learn from others. Whether you share a target population or simply share the nonprofit experience, collaboration offers unexpected insights and fresh approaches. Skeptics often leave such partnerships with new allies, new knowledge, and stronger strategies. The key is creating opportunities for cross-sector dialogue, maintaining equity among all players, and giving collaborations the time, and resources, to thrive. The full white paper, Collaboration in the U.S. Muslim Nonprofit Sector: Lessons from the Community Collaboration Initiative, is available at the Lilly Family School of Philanthropy's Muslim Philanthropy Initiative page.

Despite the fierce efforts of skeptics to dismiss the supernatural, a persistent truth emerges: countless ordinary people continue to report chilling encounters with the unknown. In this episode, we explore unsettling tales of crisis apparitions, haunted landscapes, and bizarre energies that seem to seep through the fabric of our everyday world. From phantom hands that grope in the darkness to strange portals opening in suburban homes, the phenomena refuse to be ignored. We also delve into the enduring work of psychical researchers and examine the patterns behind these mysterious intrusions into normal life. Then, for our Plus+ Members, we uncover the strange histories of lightning strike survivors, individuals who not only lived through multiple bolts from the blue but were forever changed. Some report heightened sensitivities and psychic perceptions, while others bear physical anomalies, including one man who developed an inexplicable religious image etched into his back, a mark science has yet to explain.

“The power of the Lord was with them, and a large number of these Gentiles believed and turned to the Lord.” (Acts 11:21 NLT) Christians often underestimate the raw, even explosive power that is inherent in the gospel message. The apostle Paul said, “For I am not ashamed of this Good News about Christ. It is the power of God at work, saving everyone who believes—the Jew first and also the Gentile” (Romans 1:16 NLT). Keep in mind that Paul was a great intellectual. He was a master student and orator. When sharing the Good News about Christ, he could have called upon his ability to convince people. He could have called upon his powers of oration to bring his listeners around. Instead, Paul concentrated on the simple yet profound gospel message because he recognized its power. It’s the power of God at work, saving everyone who believes. The gospel message can impact anyone, regardless of background. It reaches the wealthy and poor, the educated and uneducated. It cuts through cultural barriers, racial barriers, economic barriers, and age barriers. The words of Acts 11:21 above testify to its impact. Everyone can grasp the gospel because God blesses it and plants it into the heart of the listener. Skeptics might argue that the message is hopelessly outdated, a relic from a different time and different culture. But these aren’t two-thousand-year-old words; they’re timeless words. Their truths are eternal. Ecclesiastes 3:11 says that God “has planted eternity in the human heart” (NLT). He’s given every person a soul-deep awareness that there is something more than this world—that something greater, something eternal is available to us. The gospel message brings that “something more” into focus. It shows us how we can have what our soul has been yearning for—even if we don’t exactly know what we were yearning for. The author of Hebrews wrote, “For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires” (Hebrews 4:12 NLT). The gospel message penetrates to the deepest part of our being. What’s interesting, though, is that not everyone feels the blade right away. So when you share your faith with someone, when you help them understand the gospel message, you may not get an immediate, joyful, hallelujah-my-life-has-been-changed-forever response. You may not get any response at all. You may even get a rejection. And while that may be disappointing in the moment, it’s far from the end of the story. When you share the Good News of Christ, you’re doing the vital work of piercing someone’s soul with God’s two-edged sword. You’re connecting to the eternity He planted in someone’s heart. You’re preparing someone to experience the power of the gospel message. You’re setting the stage for God to change the person’s life. You don’t need to add anything to the gospel. You don’t need to take anything away from it. You don’t need to apologize for it. You don’t need to offer any disclaimers about it. All you need to do is proclaim it and stand back and watch God work. Reflection question: When have you witnessed the power of the gospel, in your own life or in the life of someone you know?

About the series: Jesus encountered people who were skeptical of him as well as those who were deeply scarred by the pains from life on a fallen world. This is still true today. We will take a closer look at these stories of skeptics and scars from the Gospel of Mark and how they apply us today. About this week's message: Church hurt can produce scars. It can also turn people into skeptics. The Pharisees were not engaging in anything illegal or immoral within their leadership roles; instead, they were characterized by legalism, condemnation, and control. We'll cover how to respond in a healthy way to church hurt. Key Phrase: “Some of them were looking for a reason to accuse Jesus.” Mark 3:2
Text Me!Episode 233: The 12-Step Guide for Skeptics w/ Arlina Allen In episode 233 of the Sober Vibes podcast, Courtney welcomes back Arlina Allen to the show, and they discuss her new book, The 12-Step Guide for Skeptics. The 12-Step Guide for Skeptics breaks down the most common myths and misconceptions that cause people to resist 12-step programs, offering a compassionate, clear-eyed reframe of terms like “powerless,” “God,” and “alcoholic.”You'll hear how she redefines these concepts to support recovery instead of scaring people away, and why just attending meetings isn't the same as actually doing the steps. With her trademark honesty and no-BS approach, Arlina also opens up about the shame she felt at 20 years sober and how recovery continues to evolve long after quitting drinking.Whether you're sober-curious, stuck in the moderation cycle, or frustrated with traditional recovery language, this episode will give you permission to take what works, leave what doesn't, and reclaim your sobriety your way.WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE:How Arlena's 31 years of sobriety shaped her unique view on recoveryWhy she calls herself “recovery promiscuous” and encourages trying every toolThe real meaning of “powerless over alcohol” and why it's not a weaknessHow to navigate the "God" and "higher power" concept if you're skepticalThe danger of dismissing 12-step programs based on people, not principlesRESOURCES MENTIONED:Grab The 12-Step Guide for SkepticsEpisode 183 with Arlina Allen Courtney's WebsiteCONNECT WITH ARLINA:Arlina's Website Podcast Sponsor-Get $ 50 off your Soberlink device today!

Hi Friend, Thank you for downloading this episode, my name is Arlina, and I'll be your host. I have to admit, this one's going to be tough. With a heavy heart, I want to share that my beloved first sponsor, Kimberly A—affectionately known as Kimmerz—has passed away. She was the gentle, wise soul who walked me through my first year of sobriety. Her kindness and love changed my life. In fact, in my book “The 12 Step Guide for Skeptics”, (and with her blessing of course), I documented how she walked me through the steps and set me on a path that has kept me sober for over 31 years now. In the book I included all the reading assignments and all the written homework that she gave me, as well as many of the lessons she taught me. As a tribute to Kimmerz, I am republishing the conversation we had in episode 99. My hope is that you will get a sense of just how wonderful she was. She touched so many lives and I'm so grateful to have had the honor of sharing her story. So without further delay, please enjoy this episode with our beloved Kimmerz. May she rest in peace.
Ben and Celestia are fresh off the boat after heading to the Bermuda Triangle on Skeptoid Adventures! We talk a little on current events, as is our habit, then get to some short-form interviews with some of our skeptical shipmates. We chat with Richard Saunders, Dr. Angela Mattke, Ross Blocher, Susan Gerbic, and Jeff Wagg about their experiences over the years and what challenges (and solutions) are bubbling up in the skeptical vortex these days.
When Andrew Lacy launched Prenuvo, the medical establishment largely dismissed it as fringe. Now, some of those same skeptics are collaborating with him on research.In this episode, Halle and Michael sit down with Andrew, founder and CEO of Prenuvo, to unpack what it takes to build trust in an unconventional idea. He opens up about how a moment of personal reckoning led him to pivot from tech to healthcare—and why he believes early detection should be a fundamental right.We cover:

On this episode of Expanded Perspectives, the guys kick things off with an update on Kyle's thriving garden and the new UV filter he's installed to protect it. After that, they dive into a series of strange sightings and conduct a fascinating interview from an undisclosed location with a fellow hunter and longtime friend. He shares a chilling account involving his neighbor's eerie encounter with dead cattle, strange black helicopters, and reported UFO's in and around the area. Cattle mutilations are a chilling and puzzling phenomenon that has been reported across the globe, predominantly in the United States, since at least the 1960s. These incidents typically involve the unexplained and precise removal of organs, blood, or flesh from livestock—often under circumstances that defy logical explanation. Organs such as eyes, tongues, ears, and reproductive organs are removed with cuts so clean they appear to have been made with surgical instruments or lasers. Skeptics argue this could be the work of skilled humans, but no definitive evidence points to human perpetrators. Victims are often entirely drained of blood, a fact that mystifies veterinarians and investigators. Even the immediate area around the body frequently lacks blood or signs of struggle. Typical predators leave behind jagged wounds and drag marks. In mutilation cases, predators rarely touch the carcasses, adding to the mystery. For ranchers, these incidents are not just unsettling but financially devastating. Beyond the economic loss, the unexplained nature of the phenomenon fuels fear and mistrust in affected communities. Investigators, including law enforcement and paranormal researchers, continue to grapple with these cases, which often remain unsolved. Cattle mutilations remain one of the most enduring enigmas of modern times, blending elements of mystery, science fiction, and real-world consequences. Whether the work of natural forces, secretive human groups, or entities beyond our understanding, these cases challenge our perception of what's possible—and what's lurking just out of sight.
