Who Does God Say That I Am?

anthropology, Apologetics, Christianity, Gospel, Humanism, image of God, John Ferrer, Theology and Christian Apologetics, theology of man
Who Do We Say We Are? Have you ever met someone who thinks too highly of themselves? Of course you have. At some time or another, everyone thinks too highly of themselves. We live in a self-absorbed, screen-addicted, narcissistic age. And with all our time in front of screens, it’s a lot like a mirror. Staring into the internet abyss, eventually we see ourselves, like the proverbial Narcissus, staring back at us with a smirk. Obviously, we could all reduce our screen time, but that’s just one example of a larger problem. The bigger problem is: how do we communicate biblical encouragement about our identity when people tend to think they’re pretty amazing already? This is the plight we’re facing. People in general are not suffering from vanishingly low self-esteem.…

BLM burned American cities to the ground. One-third of GenZ girls identify as LGBTQ. Four-hundred women in pink rally for a mother who strangled her three children. Charlie Kirk stood in the public square doing the watchman’s work in a country with a church on every corner–and was killed doing it. What were the pastors doing? Producer and cultural commentator, Jeremy Boreing, returns to unpack the speech that sparked these questions and goes deeper into where Christians, pastors, and the culture go from here. Tune in as Frank and Jeremy wrestle with questions like: What inspired Jeremy to challenge 600+ pastors during a recent TPUSA Faith event?

In the final installment of the Genderbread Person series, we will discuss attraction. (See parts 1, 2, and 3 of this series here: gender identity, gender expression, and biological sex) This article will probably be the most confusing out of all the Genderbread identity articles, but in order to help our kids navigate this landscape, we must know what they are being taught in school. I don’t promise that this one will be an easy ride. Find yourself a quiet spot, maybe bring along a notebook to make diagrams, and let’s look at the Genderbread Person’s definitions of attraction and break the concepts down one by one. Does desiring emotional intimacy with someone mean that they are sexually or romantically attracted to the person? #apologetics #healthysexuality Share on X In regard to whom one is attracted to, the…

Christians have plenty of truth to share. But why does “Christian entertainment” sometimes struggle to tell a great story? What if the problem isn’t the message, but how we tell it? Frank sits down with producer, cultural commentator, and Daily Wire co-founder, Jeremy Boreing, whose latest project puts those ideas to the test. As the writer and director of the highly successful, ‘The Pendragon Cycle: Rise of the Merlin‘, Jeremy has seen a 30-year dream become the #1 fantasy series on Amazon Prime Video. What did it take to get there, and what can its success teach Christians about faith, art, and the stories we tell? Tune in as Frank and Jeremy unpack questions like: Why was sharing and developing this story so important to Jeremy? Why do Christians sometimes…

The Prior Environmental Fitness of Nature: An Argument for the Existence of God

2. Does God Exist?, Apologetics, Christianity, design argument, Environmental Fitness of Nature, Gospel, Intelligent Design, JonathanMclatchie.com, scientific apologetics, teleology
In the sixteenth century, the Polish astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus (1473-1543) developed a model of the solar system which placed the Sun, rather than the Earth, at its center. Shortly before his death in 1543, Copernicus published his book, On the Revolutions of the Celestial Spheres.[1] This sparked the beginning of a major scientific paradigm shift and marked the dawn of the Copernican Revolution, ultimately leading to the widespread abandonment of the Aristotelian geocentric model of the solar system and the acceptance of the heliocentric model in its place. Today, the Copernican revolution is thought by many to have dethroned man from his central place in nature. Recent scientific breakthroughs, however, have brought the debate over man’s place in the cosmos full circle. Over the past several decades, science has amassed considerable evidence…

Genderbread Person Part 3: Biological Sex

Nothing summarizes our discussion more today than the famous scene from Kindergarten Cop where a little boy respectfully raises his hand to speak and waits to be called upon. His words of wisdom for the class that he so ardently and patiently waited to share? “Boys have a penis. Girls have a vagina.” In 1990, this was considered so obvious that it was part of the joke. Fast forward thirty years, and a statement like this could now be prosecuted as hate speech.  According to the genderbread person curriculum image, the simple definition of biological sex is: “. . . the physical traits you are born with or develop that we think of as ‘sex characteristics,’ as well as the sex you are assigned at birth.” Let’s break this statement down. Perception…

A Summary of The Problem of Evil for Atheists

2. Does God Exist?, Apologetics, Christianity, ConvincingProof.org, evidential argument from evil., Gospel, John Trapasso, logical problem of evil, Problem of Evil, Theology and Christian Apologetics, Yujin Nagasawa
Yujin Nagasawa’s The Problem of Evil for Atheists seeks to transform the debate on the problem of evil by demonstrating that this topic poses a significant challenge to almost all worldviews—not just traditional theism. In addition, Nagasawa claims traditional theists are better equipped to deal with the problem than their competitors. Part 1 begins with a systematic analysis of the problem of evil for traditional theists. Nagasawa shows the general “scheme” of the problem always consists of three essential variables: (I) God, (II) evil, and (III) an allegedly conflicting relationship between (I) and (II). Different versions of the problem of evil for theism can be created by tweaking variables (II) and (III). For (III), the “conflicting relationship” can be considered either as a logical inconsistency or as constituting strong evidence against (I).…

What About Other Religions?

Apologetics, bellatorchristi.com, Christianity, Exclusivism, Gospel, Inclusivism, Pluralism, religion, religious tolerance, Theology and Christian Apologetics, Tony Williams, World Religions
One of the challenges skeptics like to level at Christianity is the argument that there are hundreds and hundreds of religions in existence. How could you possibly know which one is the right one? Who are Christians to think that they have the right one? No one could possibly sift through all the possibilities. Perhaps it would be helpful to clarify what a religion is, how many religions there are, and how we can know we have the right one. Religion, Defined        In order to have a meaningful conversation about any topic, we must make sure to clarify our terms. According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary (1), the definition of “religion” would include [some combination of] the following: an organized system of religious attitudes, beliefs, and practices the religious beliefs, observances,…
