If we’re being honest, reading an ancient set of documents from a culture we don’t understand can be quite intimidating. With that being the case, how exactly should Christians go about getting familiar with the Bible without feeling overwhelmed and discouraged? With only 19% of church goers consistently reading the Bible on a daily basis, it’s no wonder why so many Christians struggle with biblical literacy. Desiring to counteract these low numbers, Pastor Skip Heitzig of Calvary Church in Albuquerque, NM was moved to write, ‘The Bible from 30,000 Feet: Soaring Through the Scriptures in…

Many non-Christians ask this LOADED question without realizing that it’s a moral question that assumes a moral standard. But with the presence of so many different religions and opposing worldviews, do Christians have the right to maintain such exclusive beliefs? In this midweek podcast episode, Frank unpacks why Christianity is the ONLY sufficient answer to the problem of evil.

Is teaching kids about God child abuse?

Apologetics for Parents, critical thinking, Education, https://shandafulbright.com/, indoctrination, logic, online Christian courses, Richard Dawkins, Shanda Fulbright, theology
People always tell me not to look at the comment section of a social media post. I didn’t listen. We just promoted the new kid’s curriculum Let’s Get Real: Examining the Evidence for God, based on Turek and Geisler’s best seller:  I Don’t Have Enough Faith to be an Atheist. I anticipated backlash. I know the drill. You post something about God and the evidence that points to His existence and suddenly every atheist saddles up behind their keyboard to tell you why you’re wrong. What I didn’t expect was to be accused of child abuse. Is teaching kids about God child-abuse? This isn’t a new accusation against Christians. In Richard Dawkins’s The God Delusion, he asserts that religious indoctrination is child abuse. However, Nicholas Humphrey, a neuropsychologist from Cambridge…
