A lot of Christian apologists feel the need to spend all their time addressing the issues brought up by atheists. As someone who used to be an atheist, that is all well and good and I'm glad they're doing what they're doing, but not for me. This video explains why I have no passion for that course in my videos.

King Kong and Christian Gadfly play a game trying to apply 1984 quotes to current events. Can we do it? Can we succeed?

I had the pleasure of having a conversation with a Texas cattle rancher and an Irishman. We talk about everything going on in the world today. 

I will be taking a break. My life is a mess. Hope to be back in the fall. 

In this episode we start to navigate the relationship between faith and reason. We start looking at the tensions, address why it needs to be addressed, and then start looking at definitions. 

Is the human mind a computer? I argue no from the philosophical argument of "understanding" and from the scientific work of Wilder Penfield. 

In this section we start looking at C.S. Lewis's argument from reason and his views on how to property use the ideas of Christian thinkers from history. Does ground and consequent logic create a problem for naturalism? Find out in this episode. 

St. Anselm once said, "I believe in order that I might understand". Is this quote naive nonsense or is there something more to it? We spend the next few episodes digging in. 

Was Jesus a cult leader? How is he different and similar to Jim Jones?

In this episode we look at the ways that Greeks viewed the world. We look at the three big questions of Greek philosophy and the four major schools of Greek philosophy. 

What did Paul mean when he used words like "elected" "redeemed" or "justification"? What did these words mean to an early Jew? See how it comes together with our final episode over the Jewish worldview. Next time portion of episodes will look at the Greek and Roman worldview.

This episode is about the importance of zeal for the ancient Jews and how they believed that the glory of the Lord would appear in the temple, the exile would end, and the nations would join in worship of Yaweh when the kingdom came. 

In this episode we talked about the relationship between temple/creation and wisdom/kings. We also talked about how Jesus’s actions in judging the temple and calling himself the temple would have been interpreted in an ancient Jewish context. We looked a little bit at Old Testament prophecies to see how the messiah and God could have been mixed together in ancient Jewish thought. Today we’re going to continue worldview building to get into Paul’s head.

This episode looks at the presence of Yaweh and the role of the divine garden. 

In this episode we delve into what "zeal" meant for a first century Jew, looking at the examples of Phineas, Elijah, and the Maccabees. We discuss how election, monotheism, and eschatology, define them a bit, and look at how it was believed that zeal would exemplify and manifest those three things. 

This one finishes up Philemon by looking at the slavery. Then there is a discussion about the importance of understanding a worldview if you're going to do proper theology. The episode finishes up thinking for a moment about how you would need to understand the American Revolutionary War to understand the current state of America and how that was 200 years ago. One hundred and seventy years before Jesus's time was the time of the Maccabees. We start with that story and talk about the persecution under Antiochus Epiphanes IV and end with Mattathias killing the traitor Jew and escaping into the desert. 

In this episode we will compare a letter from Pliny the Younger to a letter from Paul. What was Paul's place in the Roman world? How did his worldview differ from the worldview around him. Once we learn that we can then go on to reading Paul's letters and figuring out what he's actually trying to say.

This time we will look at the process that makes deuterium, helium 4, resonance, and carbon 12. Hope you enjoy!

What is fine tuning? Are there ways to argue for God using the natural world? Find out this episode.
