In the mid-1990’s a theologian and scholar of the American Church, David Wells, wrote a book that dropped like a bomb on the American religious scene. In his book, No Place for Truth, Wells provides a historical look into the reasons behind the decline in theology and conviction among American thinkers. This book is so profound it still rings true today, more than 30 years later. In this episode, Mark Farnham talks and reads ...

The idea that science is necessarily at odds with faith is so deeply ensconced in the minds of Westerners that it is almost impossible to convince the average person that it is not so. Yet, historians of science know that the whole narrative is fabricated. In the late 19th century two men wrote books advancing this myth, which had been brewing for a couple of centuries. The spirit of the age at the turn of the century was delusiona...

We’ve heard so often, “You have to find your own meaning” or maybe, “You GET to make your own meaning in life.” But many people who believe and attempt this also believe there is no inherent meaning in the universe. If we each get to find our own meaning for who we are and why we’re here, doesn’t that mean that we necessarily live in isolation from each other. How much better is the Christi...

A very common belief is that everything in the universe came into being by an unguided random process, including ourselves. So, humans are an accident of nature. Yet, somehow these same people also believe that we should treat others with kindness and dignity. The question is, “how do we reconcile these beliefs?” What impetus is there to treat an accident of nature with kindness and dignity?

Hillary explains her practical approach to ...

In this episode, Mark and Jeff discuss a common contradiction–people who deny that the universe was created intentionally by an infinitely wise designer, yet want to marvel at the wonders of nature in all its complexity, beauty, and order. If this universe is an accident, then there was no intention behind it, and any appearance of design is just the result of accidental, blind processes. If that is so, why be amazed?

Many people who claim to be Christian are trusting their own good works to make them right with God. But Scripture is clear: no one is justified by works, but by faith alone in Christ alone by grace alone.
