Ben speaks with author, speaker, and professor of philosophy at Boston College, Dr. Peter Kreeft.
Drawing from his now-famous commencement address at the Franciscan University of Steubenville, exposing the “ten lies” of modern culture, Dr. Kreeft reflects on identity, freedom, creativity, and the consequences of a world that has tried to live without God.
With his characteristic blend of sharp logic, humor, and humility, he challenges the assumptions of secular humanism while making a compelling case for common sense, rationality, and the enduring power of the Christian worldview.

What if Christians were known as the most humble and teachable people in the world? How would that change the way others see us? Why do we struggle so much with being wrong, admitting failure, and learning from those we disagree with, even our enemies?

When it comes to the emerging prominence of online ministry, how can we know if we are making a difference, when we may never see some of the people we are trying to reach? Do we know if our ministry is a success, or have we simply found a niche? How do we step back from mistakes we might make, when the reach of the internet is so vast, and the platform so public?
Ben talks to YouTuber Isaac David of Daily Disciple, as they attempt to tackle some of the space's biggest questions.

Ben talks with Jonathan Moynihan, lead pastor of Mosaic Christian Church in Elkridge, Maryland, and host of The White Flag podcast.
They unpack why the modern church is struggling to form real, mature followers of Jesus. We explore the deep disconnect between what churches say they prioritize and what they actually measure, why traditional programs often fall short, and how Jesus’ model of relational, high-challenge discipleship remains relevant more than ever.

Why do churches often feel like the least safe place to be vulnerable? Why is it easier to give grace to people who have struggled with sin, but very little grace, if any at all, to those who continue to struggle?
Churches often mention weak marriages, mental health, and financial battles, but why is their root cause, sin, not included in the picture?

In 1 Corinthians 15:12-19, Paul speaks of the fact that if Jesus was not raised from the dead, the thing we devote so much of our lives to is ultimately pointless.
Do we live as if the resurrection really happened, and are our churches taking the correct approach to reaching people today with that message?

Are we in danger of making provocation the goal, and not the gospel? Is it necessary for people today, in order to get them to think twice about God?
The guys react to a recent ministry event in Glasgow, Scotland that sparked a viral backlash on instagram.
The reaction to the event begs the questions of whether this happened in a "Book Of Acts" fashion of seeing civil unrest follow the preaching of the gospel, or whether we are sometimes guilty of causing trouble for no reason; making it the focus, and deciding factor of whether or not we are being effective in our ministry endeavors.

What does the Bible really say about heaven? How has the hope and promise of eternity ignited faith, sparked movements, and reshaped history?
Atheists often accuse Christians of wasting their lives in anticipation of the afterlife, but the guys dive in to how, on the contrary, it has fueled faith, inspired movements, and shaped the course of history.
After the podcast's release two weeks ago, there was much more to discuss, so the guys discuss heaven in part two of this faith-stretching conversation!
Listen to the first part of this conversation by clicking here.

Instagrammer Kareem Rahma of "SubwayTakes" recently posted a reel of him talking with a guy who expresses that going to heaven would suck.
Is there some truth in this misconception? Is heaven really going to be an eternal church service? If it's simply the best version of everything here on earth, wouldn't that eventually become a prison?
The regulars weigh in on this contentious, complicated subject, recognizing that to grasp ideas of heaven is often like two-dimensional beings trying to grasp third-dimensional realities.

Mark Zuckerberg, Founder and CEO of Facebook/Meta, recently went on the popular podcast The Joe Rogan Experience, to discuss his company's policy changes concerning freedom of speech and expression on their social media platforms.
Amid Zuckerberg's admissions of deliberate pressure and interference from the Biden administration, especially regarding COVID-19, the regulars weigh in on the value of freedom of speech. What are its origins? Is it a biblical right? What do we make of our ability to speak in the first place?

Proverbs 22:6 instructs us to, "Train up a child in the way he should go..."
and goes on to say that, "even when he is old he will not depart from it."
What about when those closest to us walk away from God? Was it our responsibility to prevent it?
How does this apply, when all around us we see the kids of pastors, missionaries, and Christians in general, departing from the faith they were raised in? Is there a Biblical formula that we all seem to be missing?
The four regulars share their experience of raising kids, and the delicate balance one might aim to strike of not forcing religious views upon them, but also not letting them simply roam free without spiritual direction.

Back in October, Theologian Wes Huff and ancient civilizations researcher Billy Carson recently had a debate on the Mark Minard podcast.
Billy argues that biblical texts are inaccurate and that even the crucifixion did not happen, while Wes, a biblical scholar with expertise in ancient manuscripts, counters this position with evidence of the Bible’s historical reliability and unique origins.
The aftermath of the viral debate then landed Wes on The Joe Rogan Experience, where Wes was able to share in detail on one of the world's most influential podcasts, why the bible can be trusted.
The regulars react to the debate, the episode on Rogan, and how we should rightly celebrate the public dismantling of lies.

New year, new resolutions! But how do we avoid making resolutions that are the desires of a spiritualized hustle culture?
"I want this, this, and this (for myself)."
Instead, how do we reorient our hearts toward seeking God's will and his dreams for our lives?

Ben and David come to you from a hotel in Pereira, Colombia, on the final No Longer Music tour of 2024.
Ben shares how nearly every single concert has been a fight: obtaining permissions, facing corruption, problems with city officials, and more. Yet in light of that, how every show has resulted in people becoming radically transformed by the message of the Cross and surrendering their lives to Jesus.

No one can choose when they are born, should they be able to decide when they die?
Canada’s MAID program (medical assistance in dying) is one of many Euthanasia-based medical practices worldwide, existing as a legal means of ending one’s life in the case of those whose death is “reasonably foreseeable.”
Is there mercy in ending someone’s suffering, or are we in danger of treating people as a vet would treat the terminally ill family hound? With the rise in popularity of such a practice, and the loss of the sanctity of life in secular culture, how should Christians feel and respond to this?
All of this and more on this week's episode!

PragerU attempts to answer this question in their new mini-documentary The Void: Finding Happiness in a World of Escapism. But do those solutions satisfy the problem?
The regulars reunite for a discussion on whether purpose can be truly created or found by 'getting your act together'; just a few of the many paths put forward by secular culture, and yet ultimately falling short.

On October 27th, Korn wrapped up the North American leg of their 30th anniversary tour in St. Paul, Minnesota. But before the show, guitarist Brian Head Welch stopped by the P&I studio along with Ryan Ries of The Whosoevers for an in-person podcast.
We often hear stories of God moving: healings, miracles, words of prophecy, and divine appointments - but how can we learn to hear God speak, and be led by him into situations where these types of things might happen?
Brian and Ryan share about life, ministry, and touring. The guys talk about how God speaks to each of them individually, and lastly, David expresses his felt need for a Tesla Cybertruck.

"Will & Harper" is a new Netflix documentary that follows Will Ferrell as he finds out his close friend of 30 years, Harper Steele, is coming out as a trans woman. The two decide to embark on a cross-country road trip to process this new stage of their relationship.
As followers of Jesus, should we respond to the transgender movement? We want to share the truth, but we also want to show love. How do we find the right balance?
In an exceedingly rare moment, three out of the four regulars find themselves together in the same room. They attempt to answer the question above, including what species it was that David encountered in his living room and if Luke's Maserati truly does 185 (MPH).

Ben and Chad are joined by Alexizz Rodriguez, frontman of the Christian metalcore band Bloodlines.
They discuss identity, accountability, and the band's recent launch into the social media spotlight when a clip from one of their shows, where the band speaks out against the destruction of pornography in society, went viral.

Throughout scripture, we see many examples of people stepping out in faith and taking risks. Today, as followers of Jesus, we are called to do the same.
Without risk, does faith really exist? Are we too preoccupied with what we perceive as possible? Is The Lord Of the Rings just a bunch of dwarves running around in the woods?

What in the world happened during the opening ceremony of the 2024 olympics in Paris? Was it a blatant attack on Christianity, or simply a highly sexualized depiction of a moment in Greek mythology?
Whether it be blasphemy, or a brazen, sexualized performance which included transvestites and children (or both?) it's not a question of whether we react or not as Christians, but rather how we SHOULD react to this.
In this episode all four of the regulars weigh in with their opinions on this outrageous event.

John 11:35 says, "Jesus wept." So many depictions of Jesus are of a stoic, unfeeling guru or mystic, when in reality there is no person with greater emotional depth than the person of Christ. Why is this?
In this episode Ben and David examine the emotional life of our Christian culture, and how it so often falls short of Jesus' example. What can we do about it? How can we weep over the world, as he did?

Is a purpose-filled life only reserved for a select few who happen to have found their dream job and God-given calling? Is it something we have to create for ourselves?

In this episode the regulars, minus Chad, attempt to tackle these tough existential questions, while David applauds Luke for a highly specific attribute he is said to possess.

Are our smartphones killing our faith? Do we need to take drastic steps to protect ourselves from their misuse? Were Mark Driscoll's actions out of line at the Stronger Men's conference?

Sadly, one of the most ubiquitous things in the evangelical church today seems to be an attitude of irreverence toward biblical and spiritual things. Jokes about prayer, being saved, and ironically even the Holy Spirit are prevalent virtually everywhere.

With the re-release of the Monty Python movie "Life of Brian", the regulars came together to ask, and attempt, to answer the questions above in this week's episode.

It's increasingly apparent that while our society often has an openness toward spiritual things, this does not necessarily equal an openness toward the gospel, or any kind of definitive answers in regard to the topic.
A prime example of this phenomenon is Stanford professor and neurobiologist Andrew Huberman. Andrew was asked about his faith in God during a recent interview with Lex Friedman, and the regulars discuss his responses in this episode.

Dr. Timothy Keller was a constant source of inspiration and encouragement. His unwavering commitment to the Gospel, Biblical truth, and love for people made him a powerful tool in God's hands. We had the privilege of interviewing him back in 2019. He was deep, insightful, and even tolerated David's random question at the end! He ran the race well until the end!
How should we navigate the different issues that we will face when sharing the gospel with people outside of the church? Can we relevantly communicate the gospel with someone who has no relationship with church, or is far from God?
Closing out this four part series, Ben references the writings of the Apostle Paul and talks about how we can demonstrate the power of God to people through sharing our personal stories.

Is it possible that we often rush into things, even seemingly good things, but that are against God's will, and suffer the consequences? Whether that be a lack of fruit, a disastrous outcome, or something in the middle.

Assuming we should be telling the truth as part of having genuine relationships with people around us - this week we dig into the question of how we can be speaking truth in a loving way and avoiding being a clanging gong or cymbal - just noise, as Paul describes in 1 Corinthians 13.

The first question that needs to be asked when speaking of perseverance is, "what am I persevering toward?" Is it toward God, and all that he has for me, or is it toward my own ambitions and ideals?
In this final part of the mini-series, Ben talks with Luke and Chad about perseverance in the life of a Christian; the need to 'repeat' the application of the principles in this series.
How do we focus on daily obedience, while keeping the big picture in mind?

Do we really believe in the gospel if we never take risks and act on it? Is there a possibility that a lack of spiritual risk in our lives is pointing to a false sense of faith - or at least a lack of it?
In this episode Ben and the regulars discuss the factors around spiritual risk. What it says about us, and what it does to us if we continue to play it safe.

Growth is absolutely necessary in our spiritual lives. In 1st Corinthians 3, the apostle Paul speaks of the need to move from "milk to meat" as we grow in our faith - it's not enough to simply stay where we are when the current of the world pulls us in the opposite direction.
In this episode the regulars (minus Luke, who is embarked on a journey) discuss and dissect the idea of growth and how it will play out for us if we embrace, or turn from it.

Author and pastor A.W. Tozer famously said, "what comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us."
In part two of our mini-series we continue discussing how we can have a faith that's on fire and how are view of God as a whole is often not where it should be, as is evidenced by the strange, irreverent way of talking about God often found in our christian culture.

How do we know if our faith is authentic, or simply the synergistic result of those around us in a Christian culture? What happens when we assess our convictions, and realize that what we've been holding onto is not what we thought it was - that we're really "just riding the wave", so to speak.
This is the first of a multi-part series where the regulars discuss how we can have a faith that's on fire. They discuss the need to examine our own, individual walks with Jesus, and to approach God with complete honesty if your own faith is not where it should be.

We often approach the problem with pornography in the church from an angle of either sin management, or shame management. Both seem to be ineffective in their results, and so it begs the question: is there a third way this issue can be addressed?
In this episode Ben and Luke talk to therapist, author, and speaker Jay Stringer about his book "Unwanted: How Sexual Brokenness Reveals Our Way to Healing."
Jay speaks about how unwanted sexual behaviors can actually serve as a roadmap, and as keys to finding restoration and breakthrough from habits and addictions in this area.

Zahnd describes how we should accurately approach deconstruction, that doubt is not necessarily a negative thing, and argues that we need a revelation of Jesus in order to truly know him - not just texts from the Bible.

Do you want 2022 to be your BEST year yet??? We have the secret: know God better!
It is BY FAR the most productive thing you will ever do! There is NOTHING that will bring you more joy, peace and satisfaction than deepening your relationship with God.
We want to help you get there!
We just launched the No Ordinary Life podcast.
Every week we read the Bible to pursue the extraordinary as God defines it and ask: What is one thing can I do to respond? Join us on this journey of taking the next step to an extraordinary life with Jesus.
No Ordinary Life is hosted by familiar voices from Provoke & Inspire: Ben, Courtney, Jodi, and Ania. This podcast is for those who want everything God has to offer. It is for those unwilling to settle for a "normal" Christian life.
No Ordinary Life: Taking the Next Step to an Extraordinary Life With Jesus
2022 is here, and so are all of our resolutions. Many of them revolve around being productive, and so naturally the question is, what's the most productive thing you can ever do?
The guys discuss this topic as well as the larger ideas of why we strive so much to try and produce, busy ourselves, and remain on this endless treadmill of tasks.

If we lived like our days were numbered, if we lived like we were fragile, impermanent people - how would we live differently?
The truth is that we are, as James says, a mist - and we need to live in light of that reality. God wants us to live out our days fruitfully, with no regrets - but how do we go about doing so?
In this episode David and Ben react to these ideas, and share their insights on living life to the fullest for Jesus.

Deconstruction seems to be in vogue, especially in the last decade, and ranks as one of the leading "causes of death" for the faiths of many evangelical believers.
What is deconstruction, and how do we both understand, and approach it? Can it serve as a helpful element of someone's faith journey, or is it entirely destructive?

Is community something we actually need? Or is it something we've moved past - a social construct that no longer serves its purpose?
The regulars discuss the newest of the Steiger values, which is this: We are Family.
As a mission we are called to reach the Global Youth Culture for Jesus, but we can not do it as individuals. On our own, we lack the needed gifts, insights, and abilities to see God's work accomplished through us. Together, we are stronger than we ever will be apart!
We are not just co-workers, we are family. This means we care for each other, have each other’s back and stick together in good and hard times.
The need for us to stay together as believers is non-negotiable, and critical to whether we finish the race, or get taken out along the way.

Is holiness simply following the rules of a dead, empty tradition and achieving a state where you're better than others? This is how it can seem to the secular world, and often to believers as well - even if it's on more of a subtle level.
The regulars discuss this Steiger core value, and show that instead of a dry, rigid lifestyle, holiness helps us to draw closer to God, and to be used by God to a greater extent. It brings us joy, contentedness, and more as we move closer toward the way in which we were created to operate.

Are miracles within Christianity actually real, or are they all parlor tricks? Methods used by televangelists to try and get money from gullible Christians?
Ben and Chad are joined by filmmaker Elijah Stephens to talk about his new documentary, 'Send Proof' that seeks to bridge the gap between miracles and science.
Elijah tells the story of his traumatic upbringing, which led to him an intense skepticism of the supernatural, divine encounters with God, and ultimately the creation of the film.

One of the biggest concerns of young people today is that of the environment; our relationship to it, and our responsibility for it. This is something that's often overlooked or pushed to the side by the evangelical church, and something we need to be more aware of in terms of how we relate to, and are perceived by, secular culture.
Author, YouTube apologist, and former member of the band ZOEgirl Alisa Childers comes on to help the regulars in discussing how we as Christians can meet people where they are at in terms of environmental concerns, and how we can strive to further remove barriers that would discourage people from coming to Jesus.
The guys are also joined by Steiger missionary Moah Buffalo from Sao Paulo, Brazil who shares a story from the mission; how God is moving in Houston!
David also reveals Chad's plans to create a new, albeit familiar sounding, Boy band.

Our culture praises superficial understanding and expressing opinions, often without the expertise to do so. But one thing that is not valued in our culture is humility, and admitting that we need to grow. One of the greatest barriers to growth of every kind is the unwillingness to acknowledge and learn from our mistakes.

In this episode, Ben, David, Chad, and a mysteriously tardy Luke come together for a conversation on the power of speech, and how it can indeed change the world.
In light of the worldwide outrage surrounding the death of George Floyd, including the millions stating their opinions online, one can feel that his/her voice has no effect in the grand scheme of things. The guys discuss, with the help of impeccable Jordan Peterson logic, that whoever you are, you need to be speaking, because your voice IS heard, and needs to be heard.

The guys use this opportunity to talk about several key points that were made in response to Ben's comment. They ask, does the Gospel "work" with secular people?

This episode of the Provoke and Inspire Podcast features Nashville producer/songwriter Joshua Silverberg. He shares his amazing stories of praying for people to be healed and seeing God move in power. We dig into some of the skepticism surrounding the supernatural and ask questions like “Does God desire for every person to be healed?” and “What do we say to someone who has never experienced God’s healing despite years of prayer?”
Don’t miss this critical conversation!

With literally millions of people watching and talking about Game of Thrones, the regulars felt it was important to raise the question: “Where do we, as followers of Jesus, draw the line in deciding which movies or series we shouldn't watch?”
Their intense discussion revolves around the question of whether this decision simply comes down to a personal choice between an individual and God, or if adopting that mentality might be another form of relativism.
But don’t worry, it’s not all intense! David will still make you laugh (or cringe) with his latest Random Story!

Continuing in their series on how to reach the secular world, the regulars talk about the need for having God’s heart. They look at the importance of making the decision to love our neighbors and that our actions can’t just be based on whether we feel something or not. They then discuss what it really means to have God’s broken heart for the world and how without it, we are really just being religious in our attempts to reach people for Jesus.

They look at some of the positives of this self-help book along with the importance of having godly ambition, while also discussing the dangers of a mentality that says: “You can do anything you want in life, if you just work hard enough.”

If you had the choice, would you choose to be famous?
Fame seems to be such an idol in our culture today, and although many celebrities have come out and said that there isn't anything fulfilling when you reach the "top of the ladder," people still strive to try and achieve it.
Why is that? Could it be that this desire is a corruption of something good that God put in us to glorify Him?
The regulars look at this topic and discuss these questions, in an attempt to unpack this cultural idol and look at it through a Christ-centered lens.

Specifically, they focus on the modern manifestation of tolerance (which is not very tolerant at all).

Wasting no time, the guys dive right back into controversial waters and discuss whether a small Christian University located in St Paul, Minnesota should be hosting Snoop Dogg as part of Super Bowl celebrations. Can this be justified as a business decision or a way to influence the “scene?” Not surprisingly, the guys have an opinion, and it’s not as straightforward as you might expect.

Does the idea of submitting to leadership scare you? Do we really need leaders over our lives? This fear of submission is very common, especially in today’s culture that worships independence and being a strong individual. While these ideals are not inherently wrong they can sometimes keep us from truly being released in our calling. The guys look at this struggle and share their opinions on the matter in this final episode of the series “Millennials in Missions”

When you think of the title missionary, do you think of khaki shorts and digging wells? Or construction projects, boring presentations during church services, and never-ending requests for funds? This false perception of what it means to be a missionary will so often keep people, specifically millennials, from ever going into the mission field. The regulars (including Chad, who finally arrived in Germany) look deeper at this barrier, share their experience (including a hilarious rant from David) and give some practical tips for those feeling called to missions.

In continuing with our series, the guys look at another obstacle that Millennials can face when wanting to go into missions, “The Myth of Instant Specialization.” The world tells us to only contribute in a way that perfectly aligns with our skills, dreams, or passions. This mentality is a major roadblock to radically serving God. The regulars discuss the importance of having a servant heart and a willingness to “pay your dues” and how this ultimately leads to real contentment and joy.

In this series, you’ll get to travel to the past, when the regulars were all together at the Steiger International Center back in October 2017. They discuss some of the unique roadblocks that Millennials face in trying to live a life of radical obedience, and how they seem to experience a particular difficulty in entering the mission field. In this first episode they talk about the fear of commitment, and how many times Millennials want to go from experience to experience without actually fully giving themselves to anything.

The guys look deeper at the subject of social media and the negative and positive affects it's having on our culture. While all of that might sound like a serious discussion, there is plenty of rants and banter that you will not want to miss, including another random story by David that involves him getting confused for a woman… again.

Luke, David, and Ben discuss an interview with the hip-hop artist, Logic, who expresses his surprise that his suicide presentation song “1-800-273-8255” has made a difference in people’s lives.
They dig into the causes of said surprise, the shortcomings of his solutions, and how Christian artists, of all people, should have a clear message, given that they have the truth. Plus they give a shout out to Canada.

Whether it’s caused by the loss of our passion and focus over time; running on principle rather than intimacy with God; or simply not realizing the spiritual battle we are in, we can find ourselves giving up on our calling. In this final episode of “Why Am I Silent?”, we talk about why we often decide to give up, and how we can find the strength to persevere.

Sometimes as artists/musicians, we may remain silent because not all the members of our group/band agree that we should share the Gospel through our art. What should you do if there’s division on this issue? We discuss this and more in this new episode of “Why Am I Silent?”.

In this episode of the series “Why Am I Silent?”, we discuss how we often hold back from sharing the Gospel because, deep down, we don’t really believe its core truth.
