Why We Can't Agree on What Faith Is and What We Can Learn From It.

Based on results from a recent poll on the definition of faith we can see that Christians and non-Christians seem to have opposing views of the word "faith". Here's what I think has caused this divide and what I think we can learn from it. Here's the original poll on Twitter https://twitter.com/MikeWingerii/status/1111422821396156418 Here are the graphs developed from the poll https://twitter.com/MikeWingerii/status/1111857443980500992 Here’s my debate with Matt Dillahunty https://youtu.be/Z2FGg...

Were They Really Persecuted for Saying Jesus Rose?

If we show that the eye-witnesses to the resurrection also endured great suffering as a result of their claims then we have good reason to think that they were being sincere. They really did believe they saw Jesus after He had risen from the grave and this made them willing to suffer and even die for Jesus.

A Manual for Creating ATHEISTS!

The book "A Manual for Creating Atheists" has sparked an entire movement of atheists with a special set of tools which are supposed to help people restore their "sense of wonder". But I'm wondering if this continual misrepresentation of facts and reason is actually brainwashing the very people it purports to help. If you are into "Street Epistemology" then I hope you will watch and consider the following. I've spent many hours interacting with people who use some form of Street Epistemology (Pin...

Philemon Explained

The 1 chapter book of Philemon is about a runaway slave (Onesimus) being sent back to his master by the suggestion of Paul the Apostle. While some would want to mine this little book for attacks on the Christian worldview it's actually very profound in what it teaches us about Christian brotherhood and loving others not by compulsion but from the inside out. This study will also get into how Paul's appeals on the behalf of Onesimus are much like Jesus' appeals on our behalf to love and forgive o...

What Paul the Apostle knew about Jesus is important if for no other reason than the dismantle poor arguments against the resurrection of Christ.

Answering Questions From Live Chat Today on Theology, Apologetics and the Christian Life

Question Time Stamps for Quick Reference: 1. 2:16 If Jesus is not the Father, why did He say He was in John 14: 9? 2. 7:06 Does God, at times, want a believer to be wealthy, pursue wealth, have a big house, or buy an expensive car? Would you trust someone whose prophecy is weighted toward wealth and success? 3. 11:40 There’s a video going around by Creation Liberty Evangelism, that the word ‘repent’ (metanoia) means “godly grief and sorrow”. Is there any merit to this teaching? 4. 16:55 Do you h...

A Bunch Of Reasons The Empty Tomb Is Historical

There are several reasons to believe that the empty tomb accounts in the Bible are historically true, even if you aren't a Christian. And if they are historically true, then perhaps you should become a Christian. In this video I will outline several specific lines of argument that build a cumulative case for the historicity of the empty tomb and support the resurrection of Christ.

The Gospels Are History Not Myth

Sometimes complicated issues can be made very simple. Here are some good reasons to think the Gospels are the preserved testimony of eye-witnesses from the 1st century. We will talk about the early second century writings of Papias, the introduction to the gospel of Luke, the riddle of names in the gospels and the issue of genre. All these elements are like arrows pointing to one big fact; the gospels contain the record of eye-witness testimony and attempts to treat them as though they are a hod...
