Why do Catholics and Protestants have different numbers of Old Testament books? What are these extra seven books? What are they about? Are they inspired Scripture? How do we know? In this 20 minute introduction, Nico Silva drops down definitions and context needed to understand What Is Truth Pod's upcoming 3-Part Deuterocanon Series in the month of July.

Jack and Nico spent this past year devouring biblical scholar Gary Machuta's two exhaustive and informative books "Why Catholic Bibles are Bigger" and "The Case for the Deuterocanon" to bring to the Pod a digested, long-form conversation explaining the three major aspects of this complicated Protestant-Catholic Debate. In this series we will focus on answering three major questions: 1.) Did the Jews leave Christianity a closed, complete canon of 24 books or something more complicated? 2.) Did the Early Church fathers always accept these 7 books as scripture? 3.) Does the New Testament point towards the inspiration of the deuterocanonical books? 

 
Get excited to unpack this with us every Tuesday in July here on What is Truth.

Boysober

Boysober

Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
