Testify: Recent Episodes
Erik Manning
My name is Erik Manning. My goal is to help Christians know that they can be sure that what they have been taught is true, equip believers to defend Christian truth claims with greater effectiveness, and challenge skeptics and seekers with the truth of biblical Christianity. I focus mostly on the reliability of the New Testament, the historicity of the resurrection of Jesus, the uniqueness of Jesus, and the argument from miracles.
John 19:35: "And he who has seen has testified, and his testimony is true; and he knows that he is telling the truth, so that you may believe." Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/testifyapologetics/support
Atheists often ask, "Why doesn't God heal amputees?" It turns out, however, that God does perform such healings. Bruce Van Natta joins me to share his incredible testimony of grace, faith, and healing. In a horrifying accident, a massive truck landed on his abdomen – a situation that should have been fatal. Against all odds, Bruce not only survived but also experienced what many are calling a miracle: the regrowth of his small intestines through prayer and faith.

In this interview, I talk with Rev. Tony Cooke regarding his book Miracles and the Supernatural Throughout Church History. https://amzn.to/3oQwnnM
Tony surveys 2000 years of church history showing that from the book of Acts until today, the Spirit of God has demonstrated an enduring pattern of confirming the gospel through signs, wonders, and miracles. We discuss miracles in early church history through individuals like Irenaeus, Origen, Tertullian, Augustine, Martin Luther, Charles Spurgeon, John Wesley as well as the Azusa Street revival. We also deal with a couple of popular cessationist arguments.

Here is my interview with Dr. Craig Keener, Professor of Biblical Studies at Asbury Seminary, on his new book Miracles Today: The Supernatural Work of God in the Modern World. In this book, Dr. Keener argues that the miracles we read about in the New Testament continue until this present day. He documents many witness reports of powerful, verifiable miracle reports, including people being raised from the dead.
