The laws of logic are universal, immaterial, and unchanging. Those same attributes are often associated with God. Could logic itself be evidence for God’s existence? #ThinkWell #Apologetics #Logic #GodExists #ChristianShorts #FaithAndReason #Theology

Can reason exist apart from God? Are the laws of logic simply human inventions, or do they point beyond themselves to something deeper? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Vern Poythress to discuss his book, Redeeming Reason, and explore why human reasoning ultimately points to God. Dr. Vern Poythress (PhD, Harvard University, ThD, University of Stellenbosch) is Distinguished Professor of New Testament, Biblical Interpretations, and Systematic Theology at Westminster Theological Seminary in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where he has taught for over four decades. In addition to earning six academic degrees, he is the author of numerous books and articles on biblical interpretation, language, and science.

Does the Bible promote slavery? It’s one of the most common objections to Christianity, and one of the most misunderstood. In this livestream, I examine slavery in the Bible, key passages, and the historical context of Old Testament and New Testament slavery. Does regulation mean endorsement? Or is there something deeper going on? Join the conversation and call in to challenge the argument live. We are discussing chapter 6 of Dan Kimball's book, "How (Not) To Read The Bible." Dan Kimball is the author of several books on leadership, church, and culture. He is on staff at Vintage Faith Church in Santa Cruz, California, and is on the faculty of Western Seminary. He also leads the ReGeneration Project, which equips church leaders and new generations to respond to the difficult questions being asked today about the Bible and the church.

Many people reject Christianity but still hold to values of human equality, justice, compassion, consent, progress, and freedom. Are those values actually grounded in Christianity, or can they stand on their own? Today, I want to put that claim to the test. Join the conversation and offer your challenges to the premise.

Even Paul did not begin with his personal testimony. He pointed to Scripture and eyewitness testimony, grounding the Christian message in real historical events. #ThinkWell #Apologetics #ChristianShorts #FaithAndReason #ChristianWorldview #BiblicalTruth #Theology

Christianity is not about earning salvation. It is grounded in history and centered on what Christ has done for us, giving us His righteousness by grace through faith. #ThinkWell #Apologetics #ChristianShorts #FaithAndReason #ChristianWorldview #BiblicalTruth #Theology

If God is loving, why not just forgive? Because God is also just. The cross is where justice is satisfied and love is fully revealed. #ThinkWell #Apologetics #ChristianShorts #FaithAndReason #ChristianWorldview #BiblicalTruth #Theology

Are we focusing on the wrong things when we share the gospel? What did Jesus teach his followers and the church? In this episode, Dr. Iain Duguid explores Acts 1–8 to show how even Jesus’ first followers misunderstood His mission. Learn how the early church found boldness through the Holy Spirit and what it means for us today. Dr. Iain Duguid (PhD, University of Cambridge) is professor of Old Testament at Westminster Theological Seminary. He has planted churches in Pennsylvania, California, and England, and is the author of numerous commentaries and articles.

“Too many different interpretations!” Okay… therefore what? In this short video, I show why some objections aren’t really arguments and don't need to be refuted. Instead, there is a simpler question you should ask before responding.
