Is Beauty in the Eye of the Beholder? (Abolition of Man Series)

Bryan and Paul dive into another C.S. Lewis classic "The Abolition of Man". Is there objective beauty in the world? Or is it all left up to personal taste? And what does beauty have to do with living a good life? We answer all these questions and more. Also, Paul updates us on his new position as head coach of Hillsdale's intramural soccer team. We will keep our followers updated throughout the season as he seeks to reclaim the glory of his former playing days.

Do Christians Need to be ”Passionate”?

We're starting a new series on 'Christianese' by talking about the buzzword 'passion' in Christian sub-culture. Do we need it? What is it exactly? Paul also takes a shot at John Piper in the hopes that he responds and signs some books for us.

What the Abortion Debate is Really About

In light of the recent March for Life, we're taking this episode to get to the heart of the controversial issue of abortion and debunk five common arguments against pro-life causes:

1. Abortion is a really complicated issue. 

2. We need to change hearts rather than laws. 

3. Abortion prevents kids from growing up in harsh environments.

4. Men can't have an opinion about abortion.

5. Women will resort to unsafe back-alley abortions if abortion is made illegal.

Why Don’t We See More Miracles Today?

We wrap up our series on C.S. Lewis’s book Miracles by asking why we do not see more miracles today and whether it has to do with our lack of faith. Also — should seminaries provide demon exorcism classes? 

The Miracle of the Resurrection

What is the grand miracle of Christianity? It's not just the resurrection of Christ, but also his Incarnation. But how do we make sense of the fact that God became a man, died, and then rose again? And what does that have to do with our lives 2,000 years later? Join us as we continue our series on Miracles by C.S. Lewis

Is Christianity Rational?

We're back with another episode on C.S. Lewis's book Miracles. In this episode we look at whether a rational person can believe in the virgin birth and other miracles in the Bible. Also, Paul makes things awkward at the very end.

Why is it Difficult to Believe in Miracles?

Jump start the new year with That'll Preach as we talk about youth culture, our avoidance of death, skepticism, and... Jordan Peterson impressions?
