That’ll Preach

We continue our series on C.S. Lewis's classic The Abolition of Man by looking at the problem with being skeptical of traditional values. No we're not talking 1950's middle-class America. We're talking about the foundational ideas that have shaped every culture in human history. The key to our future may not be in always looking forward, but looking back.

It's often said that God wants us to be holy rather than happy, but what if the two are connected? Dr. Marshall Bierson joins us to discuss how Christianity provides the vital link between our holiness and happiness. Also, Paul takes a shot at John Piper.

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.

Why do the writers of the New Testament quote so many passages from the Old Testament? And why do some of those quotations make us scratch our heads in confusion? Dr. Gregory Lanier is here to help us out with three helpful steps to understand how the New Testament uses the Old Testament and how it impacts the way we look at church, current events, and community.

Why is modern disagreement loaded with anxiety and emotion? The answer might surprise you. Dr. Alastair Roberts looks at how Christians can remain both confident and calm in disagreement while seeking solutions and understanding. We also dive into the concept of self-differentiation, gridlock, and the difference between reactivity and response.

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.

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.

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? 

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

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.
