In this episode I explain what a worldview is by using the acronym T.A.K.E.S (Theology, anthropology, knowledge, ethics, salvation) and explain why beliefs are not private, meaningless, harmless enterprises, but actually carry real weight and consequences in the real world. Why do beliefs matter at all? Why do Christians care so much about what the rest of the world believes? Can things like love and justice be meaningful without God or do they end up being inconsistent and arbitrary?
On this episode of Campfire Apologetics, I welcome Jerry Duckworth (The Twitchy Theologian) onto the channel to discuss some of the toughest objections to Calvinism and how to answer said objections. Do we have free will? How does a calvinist define free will? Does Calvinism naturally lead to fatalism? Are we all just puppets that God is forcing and coercing into various areas of life or do we actually make morally free decisions in which t we are responsible? Jerry and I do our best to answer all of these questions. Stick around until the end.
On this episode of Campfire Apologetics, I sit down with Dr. James Anderson who is the professor of theology and philosophy at Reformed Theological Seminary to help Christians better understand hard concepts within presuppositional apologetics. Concepts like epistemology, formal logic, preconditions of intelligibility and more. These things can be daunting and intimidating when trying to enter into the world of apologetics. We consider the concept of a worldview and the inherent burden of it's defense. Every individual possesses a worldview, whether they are aware of it or not. Learn how to defend your faith in a thoughtful and coherent manner.
In this episode, I explore the question of whether the mind and the brain are truly the same thing. Is the mind purely material, or is there something immaterial about our thoughts and consciousness? Are our thoughts nothing more than physical processes in the brain—and if so, can we actually trust them? What do these questions reveal about the nature of reality itself? Stick around for the full episode as we dig into these deep and foundational issues.#mind #brain #philosophy #cognition #cognitive #thoughts #material #immaterial #dualist #God #Jesus #soul #saved
On this episode of Campfire Apologetics, I get very personal. I wanted to share my story of my journey to faith in Jesus Christ. Testimonies, while subjective, can be a powerful way to witness and evangelize to people. Our experience must align with scripture and with the ultimate reality that is only found in Christ. I share details about my upbringing, earlier years, deep sins, struggles with depression, and ultimately how God pulled me out of the depths of despair. #Jesus #providence #grace #podcast #love #God #saved #testimony
I sit down with Mattie Montgomery, pastor, author, father, husband, and former vocalist for the christian metal band "For Today", to discuss lessons learned on the road, and how to prepare our hearts and minds to enter into either the touring circuit or even just our every day secular jobs. I too was in a touring band for a few years so this episode and topic are near and dear to my heart.

What is reasoning? What is logic? How do these two concepts work together and what do they say about faith and reality? Can the unbelieving worldview ground or give a foundation for logic and reason or do they inherently steal from God to make their case? What is circular reasoning? If these questions interest you, then this episode is for you. In this episode I do my best to explain why reasoning requires God, and why ultimately all worldviews at their foundation reason in a circular manner.

On this episode I sat down with one of my favorite apologists/scientists, Dr. Jason Lisle, and talked about the most recent discoveries made by the James Webb Space Telescope. Jason talks about the predictions that he made vs the predictions made by secular scientists before launching the telescope into space. Which predictions came true? Which predictions align with Gods word and what he has already revealed to us? What rescuing devices are secular scientists conjuring up to protect their worldview and presuppositions? Check out Dr. Lisle's work here: https://biblicalscienceinstitute.comSorry about the audio. My mic was a bit low at times. I tried to correct it the best I could, but some spots are still a bit too low #space #jameswebb #telescope #cosmos #creation #science #God #reason #Christian #Jesus #love #amen #hallelujah
In this episode I talk about the story of the ten plagues in Egypt found in the book of Exodus and explain the bigger picture of God's sovereignty. Why did God harden Pharaoh's heart and what was the real meaning behind the plagues? Was there something deeper happening behind the scenes?

Mark sits down with Dr. Tony Costa of Toronto Apologetics @tonycostatorontoapologetic5307 to discuss Eastern Orthodoxy.

I sit down with Alex Medeiros @WifiGospel to discuss his past debates with atheists and talk about common objections that most atheists will bring up in conversation. How is the atheist suppressing the truth as Romans 1 tells us? How can we respond? Do our conversations always need to be deeply philosophical? #objections #christian #worldview #apologetics #truth #defend #Faith #love #respect #atheist
On this episode I sit down with Tim Howard of @worldviewmastery to discuss the basics of philosophy and how this impacts christian thought and apologetic methodology.

The tanscendental argument for God can be a bit confusing at times, and can even miss the mark and be completely misunderstood. In this episode, I break down the argument (T.A.G) and share my own experiences in my own conversations and apologetic endeavors. #presup #TAG #argument #reformed #God #Jesus #Holyspirit #love #truth #Christian #atheist #skydaddy #skyfairy #lol

One of the main claims of Islam is that the Bible was corrupted and therefore we can't trust what it says about who Jesus is, the nature of God, and many more things. Does this assertion hold any water? Was the Bible corrupted? If so, when, and by who? Does the historical data back up Islamic claims, or is this a baseless assertion?

In this episode of Campfire Apologetics I do my best to address the age old question of whether or not Jesus could have sinned if he wanted to.

On Part 2 of this "Evolution Exposed" series, Matt Nailor of @YoungEarthCreation and Donnie Budinsky of @StandingForTruthMinistries explain how Darwinian evolution can't be possible by examining Adam and Eve, the flood account and ancient language transmission and development. Don't miss either part 1 or part 2! #Christian #podcast #evolution #lies #creation #history #language #adam #Eve
On the first part of this two part series, Donny Budinsky of @StandingForTruthMinistries clearly lays out the case for creation, and against evolution. In this presentation, Donny gives details about DNA, creation, human Y Chromosomes vs great ape Y Chromosomes, helium in zircon crystals, carbon 14 found in diamonds and more to build a case against the impossibility of evolution being our story of origin, and why only the Biblical creation account can make sense of life as we know it! #creation #evolution #c14 #science #diamonds #life #God #creator #savior #Jesus #Christ #study
