Gender. Marriage. Faith. Justice. All of them are getting redefined to make way for a new way to understand our world: Contemporary Critical Theory. Founded by Marxist ideology, Critical Theories have made inroads into global institutions, corporate policies, seminaries and churches. Presbyter Christoper Poshin David joins to unpack Critical Theory, its distinction with the Christian Worldview and what it means for churches in India as they batter this brutal storm.

In this podcast, Dr. Alan John, a medical doctor and Christian apologist, explores LGBTQ issues in the Indian context. We ask the hard questions: Is being intersex the same as being transgender? What really causes gender dysphoria? Can surgeries actually change your sex? From Kerala’s progressive policies to the wider cultural shifts in India, we dive into the medical facts, philosophical questions, ethical concerns, and the Christian response. How can we hold truth and compassion together in a rapidly changing culture?

Can arguments ever convince a devoted Muslim to become a Christian? At what point does it make sense to move on instead of clinging to non-stop back and forth? Do Muslims and Christians worship the same God? What is the best response to the Islamic Dilemma? In this candid conversation, Christian apologetics powerhouse David Wood also responds to one of the most difficult questions—Why does God allow evil?—and compares how the Christian and Islamic worldviews deal with justice, hope, and healing in the face of unimaginable evil.

Is the universe genuinely fine-tuned for life, or is it all hype? In this segment finale join renowned astrophysicist Dr. Luke Barnes of Western Sydney University as he tackles key objections to the fine-tuning argument, including whether fine-tuning truly exists, whether there is a true probability to speak of, and critiques from physicists like Sabine Hossenfelder. Explore how Bayesian probability, observational evidence, and life's unique existence shape our understanding of the universe's design. We also get to dip our feet into quantum mechanics (psst. the Copenhagen Interpretation isn't ultimate!)

Does the multiverse truly solve the mystery of our finely-tuned universe—or merely shift the question elsewhere? Join us as we tackle the controversial multiverse theory, question whether the designer itself needs a designer, and explore why an ultimate designing mind might actually be simpler, not more complex. From Alexander Vilenkin's admissions about the multiverse to critiques of Richard Dawkins' argument, discover if infinite universes truly eliminate the need for design.

Imagine 100 marksmen aiming at you—and all of them missing. Would you shrug it off as mere luck? Join Jacob and Ankit as they dive deep into why the universe’s incredible fine-tuning is more surprising than we realize. Through vivid analogies - lottery illustration and firing squads - uncover why chance alone struggles to explain the existence of a universe perfectly suited for life.

Could the universe have been any different, or were we destined for life by necessity? Join Jacob and Ankit as they unpack Stephen Hawking's insights into string theory, and the astonishing concept of a cosmic "landscape" with 10⁵⁰⁰ possible universes. Discover how the improbability multiplies, and why physicists argue the universe didn't have to be the way it is—raising profound questions about chance, necessity, and design.

Could our universe have supported life if the laws and constants of nature were even slightly different? Through engaging analogies—like a bullet hitting a single fly on an empty wall and personalized number plates—we explore the powerful philosophical concept of "fine-tuning." Join Jacob and Ankit as they discuss why our universe seems precisely arranged for life, and why "chance" alone may not explain it.

Blink and you'll have missed it over a 100 times. That's how microscopically fine tuned the universe is. It spans right from the Big Bang all the way to the current strength of the force of gravity. Join us for a dive into the improbable existence of life within the universe.

Darwin kept reminding his colleagues that the Origin of Species was just an abstract. Why did he publish it hurriedly? He then promised to release a massive book that addressed the gaps in the abstract and provided more evidence. He never published it. Why didn't he? And what did 'Darwin's Bulldog' Huxley feel about the Origin of Species? Robert Shedinger shares insights from his rabble rousing book that examined over 15K of Darwin's letters!

Hindi was a language that was created for the common folks by a foreign Christian missionary. The reason? Sanskrit was considered an elite, religious language only to be spoken by the few. The efforts of Christian missionaries in enabling the Indian to communicate and disseminate ideas is overlooked and derided, often in Hindi speeches. Linguistic scholar and researcher Dr Babu K Verghese unpacks the riveting historical contributions made by "Bible people" to uplift Bharat.

With the overturning of Roe v Wade in 2022, the discourse on abortion has increasingly gained prominence world over including in India. However the pro-life movement in India has not garnered the visibility it deserves in comparison to the pro-abortion movement. In this episode we contextualize the abortion issue to India by talking to Johanna and Simon Durairaj, founders of the pro-life organization Life for All. We tackle major misconceptions, talk about Indian ground realities concerning abortion and look at the Indian church’s response to this pressing issue.

One of the "nastiest evangelists". That's how Rajiv Malhotra tagged William Carey. But is this foreigner the unsung father of modern India and not Raja Ram Mohan Roy? Why did he fight against Sati? Why did he contribute towards linguistic and agricultural leaps? More importantly, why did he do all this while his fellow countrymen looked to merely pillage India? Vishal Mangalwadi joins in on what is an insightful dialogue about a well known man's little known contributions.

As if almost out of nowhere, God is making a stunning comeback in the West. New atheism's leading voices have softened their approach to Christianity, spirituality and religion. Some have become Christians too! Secular thinkers are starting to realise that the air they breathe is distinctly Christian. The growing meaning crisis has shown that atheism has nothing to offer. In this dialogue author Justine Brierley unpacks how exactly the West came to realise they need God.

Does Christianity have a warm embrace for those who grapple with doubts and questions regarding the faith? If so how much should one ought to press those questions? What are the pitfalls when wrestling with doubts and questions? And how should the local churches help someone in that journey? Tim Barnett of Red Pen Logic converses on the sweeping trend of deconstructing the Christian faith and how we can best engage it with wisdom and love.

Ever wondered why we can't find any human who has kept the moral code to the letter? Where do we get the sense of guilt and shame from? And why is it that the most rational thing to do is not the most right thing to do? Wondering how these observations add up? Join us as the world's leading expert on the moral argument walks us through on how to use these realisations about morality to point towards God.

"Do the gods love the pious because they are good or are they good because the gods love them?" This ancient Greek dilemma has implications for the moral argument even today. And what if God commands us to commit an evil? Does it cease to be evil? Or does it remain evil?

It's one thing for you to say 'stealing is bad'. It's yet another thing for you to say that I shouldn't steal. What gives humans and the institutions that we made (police, judiciary, international tribunals etc.) power to mandate moral behaviour over other humans? Where's the overruling authority to base the idea of 'moral duty'? And why can't atheism ever answer this? Tune in to find out!

Is Christianity a white man's religion? If not, given the extensive depth of theological and philosophical exploration done in the West, how do we present God, Gospel and Christ to the Eastern mind? Is it an attempt that ends up in compromising Biblical truths? Or won't merely preaching the Gospel be enough?! What is the need for these cultural gymnastics?! Jacob Cheriyan has been pioneering the project God and Eastern Minds (GEM) to make culturally substantiated inroads in presenting the Gospel in India. What follows is one of the most fascinating and perspective orienting interactions on SAFT Podcast!

Is time travel possible? Well, it depends what we know of time. If B-Theory of time is true then we just need to build the vehicle that can do the job. In fact some claim that if the B-Theory of time is true then the Kalam Cosmological Argument will fail. Is that so? Ashish John, a physics teacher by profession, joins us to help us walk through this quagmire topic of time.

Does quantum mechanics lend a escape hatch away from the cause of the universe? Just as the axe pre-existed in the form of iron and wood couldn't the universe have pre-existed in some form before the Big Bang? If everything must have a cause why must God be excluded?

Alright fine! The universe has something behind it. But you still cannot say it is God who created it or that the force that created the universe is omnipotent or that it is even a personal mind! Why can't it be a force like gravity? Why can't it be the universe itself! Join us to explore the identity of the cause of the universe in this episode.

One of the biggest scientific discovery of recent past that shook atheist scientists was the expansion of the universe. An unchallenged field of scientific knowledge is that the universe is running out of the limited energy we have. What do these mean for the Christian? It means the evidence for a Creator is overwhelming! Tune in to know more.

If you start to count up from 0 to the largest number will you ever finish counting? It would take literally forever! How about starting to count down from the largest number all the way down to 0? Is it even possible to start, let alone asking how long it would take?! This impossibility faces anyone who says the universe never began to exist or has always existed. Join us to learn more about this simplified philosophical argument for why the universe must have had a beginning.

Just because a sheep has a mother it doesn't mean that the herd (collection of sheeps) would have a mother too. So likewise, just because the things within the universe have a cause/creator it doesn't mean that the universe (collection of all things) has a Cause/Creator. Is that a solid objection? Nope, not really (well the sheep and the herd both have a shepherd so....). Join us as we close down on the defense of part one of the argument for God from the universe's existence.

If you say God always existed, why not say the same for the universe? If you say that God is 'timeless', what does that even mean? If there was no time prior to the Big Bang, how was God's relation to time? Is He still timeless now? In this episode we give you a sneak peek into the interesting area of God, time and eternity and conclude our look at the objections from one of atheism's most prolific thinkers to God creating the universe out of nothing.

Hypocrite! Biased! These are descriptions we don't want to hear. We sometimes assume that these don't apply to experts and the best minds out there. But it does apply to all. In continuation of our exploration of the creator behind the universe we take a pit stop to assess what and why one of the best atheist philosophers, J L Mackie, held out his objection against the cause of the universe. You'll be surprised to see how the commoner and the expert are often similar in intellectual inquiry.

The question remains: if the universe could really come from nothing, then why can't Beethoven or Bhagat Singh pop out of nowhere? If NOTHING created the universe, if really NO-THING created the universe then why the preference for universe(s) alone? Why can't anything and everything appear out of nowhere, from nowhere, and for no reason? How can the lack-of-anything (nothing) have any preference? What are the three solid reasons to say something cannot come from nothing (or that everything that begins to exist has a cause)? Join us to find out.

Why does it look like philosophers get stuck in mundane and trivial details blowing it out of proportions? For instance, do you think that if you were to 'imagine/conceive' in your mind Dora the Explorer popping into existence from thin air in your room that she could actually appear out of thin air in your room? No right!? But philosopher J L Mackie thinks so. We look at Mackie's absurd position, miracle-denier philosopher David Hume's point of agreement on the Kalam and more in this latest episode.

‘It’s impossible that you win the lottery’. Or wait; is it ‘it’s improbable that you win the lottery’? Maybe the right way to say is ‘it’s implausible’. What do these words mean? And why is it important that we know the difference to better articulate our points? In this episode Ankit rejoins Jacob to unpack what is meant by the terms possibility, probability and plausibility. Join them as they continue exploring and explaining the Kalam Cosmological Argument in the Natural Theology series.

Imagine you have multiple pieces of data or facts before you. How do you make sense of it? Well you could try and draw up a theory or explanation that best explains the facts at hand. Enter Inductive Arguments. For example the resurrection of Jesus Christ has many historical facts attached to it (like the empty tomb, the martyrdom of the disciples etc.) Did the disciples steal the body? Did they hallucinate? Maybe Jesus didn’t really die in the first place? Maybe He had an unknown twin? How do you pick one theory as the better fit? Join us to know more!

What do some of the famous arguments for God’s existence have in common? They’re all deductive arguments. They are air-tight in their formulation.

In the previous episodes we concluded our section on 'knowing Christianity is true'. In this episode we begin our quest on 'showing Christianity is true'. Join us this time as we begin exploring the question of how to show Christianity is true. The central challenge is how can a Christian who may claim to have personal experience of God present to others that his/her experience is not delusional? What common grounds can be stood upon to disengage from this epistemic standoff? Let's find out!

Last time we looked at the intriguing concept of ‘properly basic belief’ and what it means to us when we ask the question ‘how can I know that God exists’. In this episode we conclude the dialogue on how we can know Christianity is true by analyzing the role arguments play here. If I can know that God exists through the inner witness of the Holy Spirit then do I even need arguments? Aren’t they redundant? Well why don’t you tune in to know our thoughts!

We are back with episode two of Natural Theology!! Throughout this series we explore in bite-sized format the question if there are any good arguments for the existence of God. Last time we discussed the self-authenticating inner witness of the Holy Spirit and the role it plays in our knowing that Christianity is true. But can it justify our belief in God even if there are arguments that counter it? Can our experience of God be something as fundamental to our knowledge in the face of objections and arguments as our knowledge of our innocence/guilt in a situation? Join us as we explore this most fascinating question!

Theology was crowned the queen of sciences by Thomas Aquinas. In this second part we look at whether philosophy trumps theology by the magisterial use of reason or whether theology reigns as king over philosophy. Unpacking this question is none other than Dr. William Lane Craig, one of the world’s leading philosopher and theologian. Dr. Craig expounds on what it takes for a philosopher to become a theologian, what are the different branches of theology and much more! He also responds to objections against philosophy raised by prominent Christian radio hosts. Tying it all at the end is Dr. Craig’s reply to a question sent in by the legendary Dr. Alexander Pruss! You can’t afford to miss this episode!!

Missing body cold cases have two aspects: a 'fuse' of events that uniquely lead up to the crime and 'fallout' of events because of the crime that will turn the world upside down for those involved. Just like decades old cold cases, the life of Jesus is a part of history that awaits inquiry to unpack the truth. What happens when J Warner Wallace, a former atheist and one of America’s foremost cold case detective who has investigated several no-body homicide cases in which there was no crime scene, no physical evidence, and no victim's body sets out to investigate and uncover the life of Jesus without looking at the NT documents? Will he be successful? What will he find? And will the fuse and fallout from Jesus’ life show us that Jesus was indeed the most significant individual in human history?

Science is king above all! That’s the notion prevalent across the atheistic spectrum. It’s also one that’s gaining traction among the laypeople. The reasoning is that since we can do physical tests and understand the natural tangible world and that since scientific discoveries better our life it must therefore be the greatest discipline – the pathway to truth. Often times this thinking hurls philosophy to the side leaving philosophy subject to misguided and disillusioned ridicule. Philosopher and theologian Kenneth Samples, who works alongside an astronomer, astrophysicist, biochemist at Reasons To Believe, points out that such thinking is akin to chopping off the branch one sits upon while aspiring to fly. Yup, that ridiculous!!

How complex is our body? Highly, highly complex, even down to the cellular level! What seems to be the best explanation of this complexity? Evolutionary theories (theories that are purely natural withholding the possibility of supernatural intervention) and Intelligent Design theories (theories that allow for supernatural intervention) are at odds here. The former claims that pure chance is the best explanation and that this is often made evident by the flaws in our body, something we shouldn’t expect if there was an intelligent designer involved. The latter claims to explain not only the hidden design behind these ‘alleged’ flaws but also posit that the extremity of complexity observed tilts the evidential inductive scale in its favour. Renowned author and prolific biochemist Dr. Fazale Rana joins Jacob to explore whether intelligent design is the better explanation of the data at hand and in the due course drops bombshell insights into how truly complex the human body is!

Isn’t abortion a right of the women? If the purpose of life is to know God then isn’t euthanasia pursuable for someone who is brain dead? Why is God concerned with what consenting adults do in the bedroom? If no person is born sans-God’s intention, then what is gender dysphoria? Have we bifurcated the ‘person’ from the ‘body’ too much? Where do we as Christians stand on these issues? Should we voice our opinion or keep silent? Nancy Pearcey, heralded by The Economist as “America’s preeminent evangelical Protestant female intellectual”, shares profound insight on these pressing issues.

Am I just my brain? How can we say we have an immaterial mind when we can control our actions and thoughts by stimulating our brain! Hasn’t science definitively shown that our brain is all there is? Maybe our brain is identical to our mind! Cambridge trained brain imaging scientist Dr. Sharon Dirckx (OCCA The Oxford Centre for Christian Apologetics) differs. In this most intriguing of episodes Sharon converses with Jacob and shows why she concurs with Wilder Penfield, a pioneer of neuroscience.

Are Christians the personal objection to non-believers embracing the faith? What damage is brought about by superficial assessments passed by Christians? In our churches do we have a trend of passive Christians who pass the ball of evangelism to pastors and leaders?

The question of the historical reliability of the Gospels is still very much alive. Hundreds of articles and videos that present robust defense, having stood the test of time, fill search results. But what about the underlying principles at play? Why are still objections raised? How has scholarship fared in responding to these? Why are critics ready to believe Josephus over Luke when Luke is considered a “historian of the highest rank”? Does the theory championed by certain Christians that the Gospel of John was written by another John and not John the son of Zebedee warrant credit? Much is at play which is why we brought in one of the best in the field, Lydia McGrew, to engage with these and more!

What role can mothers play in the growth of their child’s faith foundation? Do they have specific advantage over the roles played by pastors and youth leaders? How can parents help their kids discern among contradictory worldviews? Is it indoctrination if you teach your kids about faith and God? Founder and Mama-Bear-in-Chief of Mama Bear Apologetics Hillary Morgan Ferrer joins Jacob on the first episode of 2021 as she unpacks all these and much more. Hillary also effectively handles the age old question – Is apologetics effective? – from her personal experience.

Veganism and Global Warming are hot topics (pun intended) now more than ever thanks to rising activism and political influence. So how does a Christian respond to it? Are we merciless and selfish because we eat meat? Are we ruthless towards our planet if we don’t engage in activism for global warming? Should a Christian who awaits the return of Christ be bothered if the world melts over today instead of tomorrow? Also, who has the proper moral grounding to be caring and accountable for the flora and fauna of this world- the Christian or the atheist? Prolific RZIM speaker Xandra Caroll weighs in valuable insights into all these and much more!

Progressive Christianity. The wolf in sheep’s clothing. The yeast of modern day heresy permeating the churches under the guise of a tolerant and welcoming Christianity. Alisa Childers, our first women guest on the podcast, who firsthand encountered Progressive Christianity recently authored Another Gospel? and brings to clear light the nuanced and heretical position Progressive Christianity espouses. Given the danger of this false gospel we can’t recommend this episode enough!!

What if we consider Jesus to be just what many claim He is- a fictional character! What if we consider the biographies of His life, called the Gospels, as just mere fiction? Where does that lead us? Tom Gilson does exactly this in his latest book ‘Too Good To Be False’ which has taken the arena by storm. Tom goes on to show comprehensively that even if Jesus was mere fiction, He is so unlike any other on so many levels that it beggars belief why someone would make up such a fiction. In this most exciting interview Tom and Jacob attempt to unpack for the audience the argumentation of the book which according to J P Moreland “fills a big hole in contemporary apologetics”.

Deuteronomy 18 is often highly contested as God proclaims the arrival of prophet like Moses. Is God talking about one prophet? Is He talking about a line of prophets? And most importantly, has anyone ever fulfilled such a profound proclamation? Is there any Biblical backing to the claim that Muhammad is a prophet like Moses? Finally, where does Jesus stand in all this! Big questions to be answered indeed. So here is Sam Shamoun dropping truth bombs and mind grenades that left Jacob reeling as Sam expounds what the passage is talking about. Don’t wait!! Watch now!!

We had addressed earlier with Dr Clay Jones on the podcast the question of why does God allow evil and suffering. But today we look at the problem of evil at a different angle narrowing in on the practical applicability and response it can elicit. Tune in as Piyush and Jacob dialogue why asking can God stop evil is critical too.

With a growing base of Gen Z on platforms such as Instagram, the need to make apologetics readily available on such platforms is sky rocketing. However, there are certain caveats and tips to look out for when stepping out to do so. Chris BZ of 1C15.co.uk, who also runs the famous IG account Christian Apologetics Library, lays out his journey from atheism to Christianity and covers important ground on how to do IG apologetics.

The most important book out there that concerns a Christian is hands down the Bible. But how should we read a book so vibrant and complex? Can a common person hope to understand such a book? Isn’t it best that we listen to or read the sermons of great preachers? Does the current lockdown beckon us to reconsider how we approach Scripture and the place we attribute to it daily? Join us as Pastor Jerin Thomas, Global Missions Catalyst at C&MA, expounds on this very relevant topic.

John the Baptist is one of the most well-known New Testament figures thanks to the powerful quote of his seeking more of Christ and less of oneself. But John the Baptist has a peculiar journey throughout his ministry. We see him backslide quite massively. What was all about Jesus’ review of John? What caused him to doubt the Lamb of God he introduced? Why did John’s disciples side with the Pharisees whom John called ‘brood of vipers’? Godwin Thomas John, a close friend of SAFT Apologetics, joins Jacob to share biblical insight into the life and ministry of John the Baptist. Wondering what this means for you? Stay tuned for the succeeding podcast as we connect the dots.

Islam is a dominant global worldview, second only to Christianity. We encounter Muslim friends and colleagues across all walks of life and many of our Muslim friends know quite a lot about the essentials of Christianity. Muslims claim to honour Isa, who they say is Jesus, for who he truly is, a prophet of Allah. They claim that he made a bird out of clay, talked when infant and escaped death, according to Muhammad, and ascended straight to heaven. Muhammad also makes other historical claims. But do we have good reasons to believe these claims? In this third podcast of this mini-series of Understanding Islam, Founder of the prominent whowasmuhammad.org ministry joins us to shed factual, evidential and substantiated light on the historical claims of Muhammad and Islam.

Islam is a dominant global worldview, second only to Christianity. We encounter Muslim friends and colleagues across all walks of life and many of our Muslim friends know quite a lot about the essentials of Christianity. A common challenge flung at Christianity is the seeming inconsistencies in the Bible or supposedly major and cataclysmic interpolations and corrections made in the later manuscript copies. But, Muslims have a serious problem to deal with. It looks like the eternal-unchanging Allah pulls back his words and makes amends in the eternal word of Allah- the Quran. In this second podcast of this mini-series of Understanding Islam, we have the Founder of whowasmuhammad.org ministry joins us to shed factual, evidential and substantiated light on the doctrine of Abrogation.

Islam is a dominant global worldview, second only to Christianity. We encounter Muslim friends and colleagues across all walks of life and many of our Muslim friends know quite a lot about the essentials of Christianity. Also given that many Christians and Muslims alike, not to mention the unassuming gallery, think Christianity and Islam to be the same and to be leading to the same God it’s imperative that we educate ourselves and clear the air. In this first episode of a mini-series on Understanding Islam former-Muslim Abdu Murray lists out the core of Islam and how they are different to the Christian faith.

Miracles are violations of the laws of nature. The laws of nature cannot be violated. Therefore miracles are impossible. Wait… what? That’s David Hume going around in circles. Sometimes we too do so. The Bible is the word of God because it says so. See? Both statements beg the question or go around in circles. They assume the conclusion to be the premise. No one has monopoly in committing logical fallacies nor is anyone immune, be it theist, atheist or even the befuddled nihilists. But we need to understand and identify what logical fallacies are. Jump right in as the versatile Dr. Bo Bennett unpacks it away!

CrashCourse, an informative YouTube channel boasting 10 million subscribers ended up in our radar for their misguided claims (to put it subtly) about Christianity, arguments for God, ontology of God, logic of God etc. We understood that it was critical to respond to such gravely incorrect and preposterous allegations, especially given that it comes from such an influential channel. CrashCourse claims that there are core and fundamental contradictions with the existence of an omnipotent, omniscient, omnibenevolent God and evil in the world. Why would God allow ‘so much evil’ if He has some purpose? Why are there non-human sufferings like Covid-19? Why are we inheriting the ramifications of what Adam and Eve did? Tough questions? Dr. Clay Jones confidently asserts they are not. Is he right? Does the problem of evil not possess challenge to the Christian worldview? Tune in!

What if someone corners you about your faith? What if they raise a challenge towards Christianity in which you have little/no idea? How you do navigate the conversation and advance your Christian conviction? Or better still, how do you remain in the driver’s seat during the conversation? Greg Koukl, founder of Stand To Reason, addressed all this and much more when he first wrote one of the most popular book for Christian apologetics- Tactics. Now he has launched the updated and expanded edition of Tactics in its 10th anniversary. Join us as Greg unpacks this stellar tool kit for any Christian apologist!

CrashCourse, an informative YouTube channel boasting 10 million subscribers ended up in our radar for their misguided claims (to put it subtly) about Christianity, arguments for God, ontology of God, logic of God etc. We understood that it was critical to respond to such gravely incorrect and preposterous allegations, especially given that it comes from such an influential channel. CrashCourse claims that we must hold only beliefs that are true. Is it so? Is there some sort of innate burden on us to follow the evidence where it leads? Are theists in violation of this principle? How did the man who pioneered atheism in the 20th century and equipped it with tooth and nail respond when new evidence surfaced that questioned his position? Join us as Jacob unpacks it all and introduces the late Anthony Flew.

The question of how a sovereign God preordained the world has been buzz for centuries. John Calvin opined that we do not have free will. Yet this flies in the face of blatant reality and paints God as a puppeteer who judges humans for that which we didn’t in fact do. What did Luis de Molina present as a sound theological escape hatch from this conundrum? Join us as one of the foremost Christian philosophers of our time and proponent of molinism Dr. William Lane Craig unpacks it with Jacob.

With John Loftus releasing the book ‘The Case Against Miracles’, Michael Shermer and Bart Ehrman building the boost for its spread, this podcast is well placed to shed timely knowledge. Isn’t believing in miracles for the gullible and ignorant? How can miracles even take place when we say that miracles overpower the laws of nature? Don’t Christians read miracles into anything and everything? What separates divine providence and miracles? Do miracles take place now or are they part of long lost fables? How should a Christian respond to miracles in other worldviews? All these and many more are unpacked as Jacob interviews the prolific aviator-turned-apologist Dr. Frank Turek.

To claim someone has risen from the dead is staggering. To claim a historically verified person has risen bodily from the dead, with the falsifiability of the claim intact, and to place one’s entire trust on that claim beggars belief! It all sounds too good to be true. Maybe the entire ‘resurrection of Jesus tale’ was nothing but a well-orchestrated conspiracy theory hidden away in history. However Dateline featured cold case homicide detective and former atheist J. Warner Wallace thinks otherwise. Does he make a good case for what he claims to have happened? You decide. Would you follow the evidence where it leads?

The Jewish people had their prophets and prophecies. They had their Pharisees and scholars. They were awaiting the Messiah to come. Yet they missed out on His arrival! Why did that happen? Did the Jewish view of prophecy change by the time of Christ? Did their interpretation of prophecies get in the way? If the Jewish people didn’t receive their Messiah in His first coming, will we miss out on Him when He comes again if we fail to understand all prophecies from Genesis to Revelations? And what does it mean to be a Messianic Jew? So many questions right? Join us in our 25th episode as the foremost proponent of Messianic Judaism Dr. Michael Brown answers it all!

Atheists and materialists often try and deride theism and Christianity by touting that unlike the latter set of worldview, atheists are free to go whichever way the evidence points. They claim that they have no appriori commitment. But is that truly the case? Are atheists and materialists (by extension) truly free thinkers who accept the truth without any involuntary forces interfering. We think otherwise. Tune in to find out.

In the previous episodes we've been discussing whether morality is objective or subjective. In this podcast, we'll be presenting arguments as to why we understand morality to be objective and hence binding on all mankind, deeming everyone accountable to the transcendent moral code. Ergo, both Hitler and Veerappan are accountable.
