Universe Designed: A Documentary on God’s Existence

2. Does God Exist?, Apologetics, Christianity, design argument, Gospel, Hillary Morgan Ferrer, Intelligent Design, MamaBearApologetics.com, Michael Ray Lewis, scientific apologetics, The Universe Designed
[Editor’s Note: This blog was originally posted on Mama Bear Apologetics] Do you have a sciency cub? Do they make comments about things like “the starlight problem” and “multiverse theory” that make your eyes glaze over? No fear! We got you, mama bears! Our friend, Michael, is not only a sciency-bear, but a really good filmmaker to boot! Let’s face it: much of our Western culture has been steeped in an atheistic worldview where science and reason are seen as the tools of the naturalist. The Christian worldview, meanwhile, is relegated to blind faith. But is this actually true? Do we Christians have any evidence for a Creator? What is the best explanation for the way things are? Questions like these and more are the target of Michael Ray Lewis’…

What Happened to the 56 Men Who Signed the Declaration of Independence? with Bill Federer

American Revolution, Bill Federer, Christian Apologetics, Christian history, Christianity, Declaration of Independence, Dr. Frank Turek, Founding Fathers, morality, philosophy, Podcast, religion, theology
Earlier this week, historian Bill Federer joined Frank to explore the biblical ideas that shaped the foundation of America. In this follow-up conversation, Bill returns to bring the Declaration of Independence’s most influential figures to life through their faith, their sacrifices, and the extraordinary stories of divine providence that many believed shaped America’s fight for independence. Join Frank and Bill as they answer questions like: Who was John Witherspoon and what role did he play in America’s fight for independence? What role did different denominations play in the formation of the 13 original colonies? How can we sum up Judeo-Christian Western civilization in America using only one word? Why do some people claim that it was a miracle (at least providential) how traitor Benedict Arnold was caught? What happened after…

You Don’t Have the Freedom of Religion in America

1st Amendment, America, Apologetics, Christianity, civil rights, freedom of religion, FreeThinkingMInistries, Gospel, Legislating Morality, Culture & Politics, separation of church and state, Tim Stratton
At first glance, that title sounds absurd. Of course we have freedom of religion in the United States—it’s one of our most cherished rights. But if by “freedom of religion” we mean the unlimited right to believe and do anything whatsoever in the name of religion, then the truth is simple: you do not have that freedom in America—and you never have. The question is not whether religious freedom exists, but what it actually means—and where its limits must be drawn. The United States of America offers one of the most robust protections of religious liberty in human history. Citizens are free to worship—or not worship—according to the dictates of conscience. This freedom is deeply embedded in the American experiment and is often rightly celebrated as one of our most cherished rights.…

Struggling with Prayer? 5 Reasons You Lack the Desire to Pray (and How to Overcome Them!)

Apologetics, Christianity, Gospel, https://smartfaith.me, Miguel Rodriguez, Prayer, Theology and Christian Apologetics, unanswered prayer
Have you ever felt like prayer is as elusive as losing weight or getting in shape? You know it’s good for you, you know you should do it, but somehow the motivation to bend your knees, clasp your hands, and close your eyes is as elusive as Waldo. Frustrating, isn’t it? But here’s the thing: You already know how to pray. You could stop reading right now and start praying. It’s that simple. So why are you here? It’s not that you don’t know how to pray. It’s that you don’t want to pray. You’re not alone in feeling this way. In his insightful book, “When You Pray… and Nothing Happens,” Maurice Berquist likened prayer to a man’s shadow.[1] If he runs after it to capture it, it flees. If he runs from it to…
