1) Edify ones faith
2) Open an Unbeliever into the possibility of the faith
(and often)

Will Heaven be Boring?
Give it a few Billion years - you have met everyone that every existed, enjoyed every pleasure countless times, now what?
This is a really good question and this episode is the result of a long time of reflecting.
It was brought to my attention by interactions with two groups of people - Children and Atheists. I'm not saying that Atheist are intellectually like a child, but there are a couple of blind spots both share that prevent them from evaluating this question.
I think this answer will provide a firm logical scriptural understanding, so next time someone asks you this you will be ready.

Consider the three Perspectives.
Theist - I believe in God!
Atheist - I don't believe in God!
Agnostic - I don't know if I believe in God or not?
Whos right? First we need to communicate with each other and when discussing with each individual:
-
How do we approach this?
-
Who has the burden of Proof?
-
What are the implications of Skepticism for the three parties?
-
How to deal with distractors?
This episode is my unique take on dealing with this topic, I hope you enjoy!

Philosophy is confusing - I got your back!
This episode explores axiology (fancy word for study of value) and why humans are in fact valuable, regardless of how smart or productive you are.

They weren't Christians doing Philosophy, they were Philosophers doing Christianity.
