Are We Reaping What We've Sown? Discussing our Reason for Hope in the Midst of Trying Times

85% of young adults today say one of the reasons they do not go to church is because of the hypocrisy of believers. It’s a valid defeater of Christianity. Why would an unbeliever change his or her behavior when adherents of Christianity themselves do not abide by their own standards. It’s easy and convenient to dismiss the accusation as a red herring, as some Christian apologists do. This approach however only further adds distance to those we are genuinely seeking God. On this show, Dr. Harry Edwards, Dr. Jacob Daniel and special guest Anthony Costello discuss their approach to this challenge infused with a conversation around C.S. Lewis’ last few chapters of Mere Christianity in which he seeks to provide wisdom on the problem of Christian hypocrisy.

The Embattled Church: Sinners, Saints, and Charlatans

One of the reasons today's society has a tough time believing in God is because it has lost its ability to imagine the idea of transcendence, something beyond the natural world. For the skeptic nothing exists beyond the five senses. If it cannot be directly observed or tested in the lab, it does not exist. This commitment to naturalism to a great extent frustrates one's ability to discover truth, putting limits to acquiring knowledge, much less knowledge about God. In this episode Dr. Jacob Daniel and Dr. Harry Edwards with special guest Logan Zeppieri discuss ways to help our modern society explore the plausibility of the supernatural as a pointer to God.
