#021 - Should Christians be bold or be careful?

In a world where lies are carefully crafted to paint truth-tellers as hateful (much like the way the words of Saruman poisoned his hearers in The Lord Of The Rings) what strategy should Christians choose when deciding which words they use and how?  Should we remain silent or speak with boldness despite the risk of being ...

#020 - Do you feel discouraged or without hope when you watch the news? Does the world seem chaotic and disheartening?

#018 - When the Bible talks about things like “walking in the spirit and not the flesh,” does this mean that God doesn’t care about our physical reality? What does a Christian Worldview say about the material/natural world?

Is our material reality a filthy thing that needs to be overcome? Is the material world basically evil and will eventually be destroyed? Or…  Is...

#017 - When you look at your life, what kind of legacy have you left for future generations? Do you have children?  Nephews?  Nieces?  Students?

In the end, what have you passed on to future generations? In this episode I dive into the idea...

#016 - When you see what is happening in the world do you feel that we must be living in the “end times?” Surely, Jesus will be returning soon, right? What effect does this have on the way you live your daily life? If you have kids, what does this cause you to think and feel about their future? What are the consequences in the world around us when we as Christians are focused on - even obsessed with -...

#015 - Do you believe that there is hope for America? If you do, what are you basing your hope on? If you do not, why not? Should Christians find hope in the next conservative political movement? Should Christians find hope in events that are coming? Or should Christians have hope in “filthy” politics or avoid politics altogether? In this episode I explore a deep and abiding hope about EVERYTHING th...

#014 - Do you long for the good old days of America? Are you saddened by the loss of our glorious past?

In this episode I explore the idea that the goal is not to return to the glorious past, but rather to mo...

#013 - How would you answer the question "how do you know that God is real?" How would you answer that question for yourself? How would you answer that question for an unbeliever?

Please listen and enjoy and let me know ...

#012 - Why, after decades of fighting for democracy and freedom in Afghanistan did the U.S. and allies pull out of the country leaving behind chaos and Taliban control? Why do governments engage in "wars" on poverty or drugs and yet poverty and drugs still seem to reign? Why are there so many programs but sometimes it seems like nothing works? Do you have a desire to change the world? Do you vote each...

You know you shouldn't commit murder, but do you really need to st...

#010 - What do you believe it means to be a "mature" Christian? Are you spending your Christian life primarily talking about whether or not the pastor's sermon was any good on Sunday?

Do you have something to offer younger believers? In thi...
