Evolution Under the Microscope: Science, Limits, and the Forest of Life

How confident is the science behind evolution? In this thought-provoking episode, we explore a rigorous scientific critique of evolutionary theory presented by biomedical engineer Dr. Rob Stadler and synthetic organic chemist Dr. James Tour. Together, they challenge listeners to distinguish between well-established, observable science and broader evolutionary claims that, they argue, rely more on assumptions than direct experimental evidence.

Dr. Stadler introduces a powerful framework for evaluating scientific confidence using six strict criteria — including repeatability, direct measurement, bias control, and cautious reporting. Applying this framework, he separates microevolution (small, observable changes within organisms) from macroevolution and abiogenesis, which he contends are based largely on indirect inference rather than repeatable experimentation.

The episode also examines some of the most frequently cited evidences for evolution — the fossil record, genetic similarity, and orphan genes — and asks whether these truly demonstrate large-scale evolutionary transitions or simply variation within limits. Dr. James Tour adds a chemical perspective, arguing that the origin of life and major biological innovations present profound challenges that current chemistry has yet to solve.

We also look at long-term laboratory evolution experiments involving bacteria and other organisms, discussing what these studies show about the limits of mutation, natural selection, and biological change.

Ultimately, this episode presents the case for a “Forest of Life” model — the idea that living organisms diversify within boundaries rather than sharing a single universal ancestry — and calls for greater humility and clarity when teaching the strengths and limitations of evolutionary science.

Whether you’re a student, skeptic, scientist, or person of faith, this conversation will stretch your thinking about what we really know — and what we don’t — about the history of life on Earth.

Faith Alone

This podcast explores the theological heart of the Protestant Reformation and the enduring debates it continues to spark. At the center is Sola Fide — Faith Alone — the conviction that sinners are justified not by moral effort, religious performance, or social standing, but by faith in the righteousness of Christ.

Each episode dives into the deep questions surrounding justification, grace, and the authority of Scripture. We examine historic Reformation teaching alongside modern philosophical and theological critiques from thinkers like Alasdair MacIntyre, Jürgen Moltmann, and Jean Bethke Elshtain. Does standing “alone before God” create isolated individuals? Does faith alone weaken the call to moral responsibility?

In response, we recover the classic Protestant distinction between the root and the fruit of salvation: while faith alone justifies, the faith that justifies is never alone. True faith inevitably produces good works — not as the cause of salvation, but as its living evidence.

More than a theological debate, these doctrines offer deep spiritual comfort. By grounding salvation entirely in Christ’s finished work, believers are freed from anxious self-examination and liberated to love God and neighbor with joy and gratitude.

If you care about church history, systematic theology, and the life-changing clarity of the gospel, this podcast is for you.

Did God Create Evil? Augustine Says No

What if evil isn’t actually a “thing” at all?

In this episode, we explore Augustine of Hippo’s classic definition of sin as the privation of good. Rather than describing evil as something God created, Augustine argued that sin is a corruption of what was originally made good. This insight protects the truth of God’s perfect goodness while offering a profound explanation for the presence of evil in the world.

We also examine Augustine’s teaching that sin begins in a disordered human will — when we choose lesser goods over the highest good, who is God Himself. Evil, then, is not a substance but a distortion, a parasite that feeds on what is good.

Finally, we discuss how this understanding shapes the Christian view of redemption. Salvation is not about God discarding creation, but restoring and healing what has been broken by sin.

Augustine’s framework has shaped Western theology for centuries and continues to provide a powerful way to think about morality, grace, and the nature of evil today.

🎧 In this episode:

• Augustine’s definition of sin

• Why evil is a corruption, not a creation

• The role of the human will

• How this view defends God’s goodness

• Redemption as restoration, not replacement

Whether you’re a student of theology, a pastor, or simply someone wrestling with the problem of evil, this conversation offers rich and hopeful insight.

Raising a Legacy: Seven Biblical Strategies for Faithful Parenting

In a culture increasingly hostile to biblical values, Christian parents are called to think beyond survival and toward spiritual legacy. Raising a Legacy explores seven foundational biblical strategies designed to help parents cultivate enduring faith in their children. This episode reframes children not as burdens, but as divine blessings—strategic gifts entrusted by God for future generations.

Through Scripture-centered parenting, loving discipline, Christ-like modeling, and a household culture shaped by obedience and honor, listeners will discover practical wisdom for protecting, providing for, and leading their children toward purposeful, God-honoring lives. This is a call for parents to parent intentionally—biblically, faithfully, and with eternity in view.

Escaping the Tribulation: What the Church Fathers Taught

Is the Pre-Tribulation Rapture truly a 19th-century "innovation," or does it have deep roots in ancient Church history? In this episode, we tackle one of the most persistent objections to pretribulationism: the claim that the doctrine only emerged with J.N. Darby in 1830.

Drawing from primary sources, we uncover a trail of evidence for a distinct rapture event reaching back nearly two thousand years. We begin by defining our terms, tracing the word "Rapture" from the Latin rapiemur ("we shall be caught up") and the Greek harpazo.

In this episode, we discuss:

• The Apostolic Witnesses: How early writings like the Shepherd of Hermas (2nd Century) spoke of escaping the great tribulation through faith, and why scholars like Michael Svigel argue that the earliest readers understood 1 Thessalonians 4:17 as a literal future event.

• Irenaeus of Lyons: We analyze the famous statement from this 2nd-century Bishop regarding the Church being "suddenly caught up" prior to an unparalleled time of tribulation.

• The Medieval "Gap": We explore the "hidden" history of eschatology between the 5th and 15th centuries, including the fascinating case of Brother Dolcino (1304), who preached that the faithful would be transferred to Paradise to be preserved from the Antichrist.

• The Pseudo-Ephraem Sermon: A deep dive into a 4th–6th century text that explicitly states the saints are gathered together before the tribulation so they do not see the confusion overwhelming the world.

• 18th-Century Precursors: We look at Morgan Edwards, the founder of Brown University, who in 1744 developed a system featuring a rapture occurring three and a half years before the Millennium.

We also address the concept of "imminency" in the early church—the belief that Christ could return at any moment—and how this "seed" of pretribulationism existed even when other details of the timeline remained less defined.

Whether you are a student of Historic Premillennialism, Dispensationalism, or simply a history buff, this episode challenges the "1830 invention" narrative and offers a compelling look at the historical development of the Blessed Hope.

Join us as we explore why the argument that "no one taught this until 1830" is simply not historically true.

Marriage in Crisis: Reordering Love God’s Way

Why are marriages collapsing at historic rates—and why are children and society paying the price? In this episode, we examine how the breakdown of modern marriage is not merely cultural, but deeply spiritual. Drawing on biblical principles and real-world data, we explore how a lack of biblical knowledge and misplaced priorities have weakened the family structure.

We discuss compelling statistics showing how active church involvement dramatically lowers divorce rates and why intact families remain one of the strongest stabilizing forces in society. Central to the conversation is a biblical hierarchy of love: God first, spouse second, and children third—and how reversing this order leads to unintended harm.

Special attention is given to the vital role of fathers, whose call to sacrificial leadership and spiritual guidance is essential for healthy homes and emotionally stable children. This episode ultimately calls believers to recover a covenant-based vision of marriage rooted in Scripture, obedience, and enduring faithfulness.

The Church Is Bleeding Out—Young Christians Are Leaving Now

Why are so many young Christians leaving the church—and often walking away from the Christian faith altogether?

In this video, we address the growing crisis of spiritual “bleeding out” among the next generation. Many young people disengage from church life even before college, not because they hate Christianity, but because they were never equipped with solid biblical teaching or meaningful answers to tough cultural, philosophical, and scientific questions.

We explore how shallow teaching, avoidance of hard questions, and the loss of intentional discipleship have left young believers vulnerable. Scripture calls the church to be a teaching church—one that forms minds as well as hearts.

By restoring robust biblical instruction, encouraging honest conversations, and pairing real mentorship with responsible online discipleship, the church can reconnect ancient truth with modern life.

This video is a call to pastors, parents, youth leaders, and Christians who care deeply about the future of the faith.

The next generation doesn’t need entertainment—they need truth, wisdom, and shepherds who will walk with them. There is hope, but only if we act now.

The Father Factor

This podcast explores the "defective father hypothesis" proposed by Paul C. Vitz, which suggests that a person's earthly relationship with their father profoundly influences their openness to religious faith.

By analyzing the biographies of famous atheists, the author argues that absent or abusive fathers often create psychological barriers that prevent individuals from trusting in a heavenly Father.

Conversely, the podcast highlights how strong paternal bonds in the lives of influential Christian thinkers served as a foundation for spiritual belief.

The overarching message calls for the modern church to recognize these emotional wounds and provide spiritual mentorship to bridge the gap left by fatherlessness.

Ultimately, the source asserts that healthy fatherhood is a vital tool for generational faith and the restoration of community identity.

Bloodlines of Redemption: Tracing the Three Genealogies of Christ

In this episode, we unravel the profound theological significance of the three major genealogies in Scripture: Genesis 5, Matthew 1, and Luke 3.

Each lineage offers a unique lens into God's redemptive plan, from Adam to Abraham, David to Jesus. We explore how these genealogies are more than historical records; they're spiritual roadmaps revealing the Messiah’s divine and human heritage.

Why does Matthew emphasize kingship?

Why does Luke trace all the way to Adam?

And how does Genesis foreshadow the coming Redeemer?

Join us as we follow the scarlet thread through generations, discovering how God's promises are fulfilled in Christ, the Son of Man and Son of God.

Why the Rapture Must Precede the Tribulation: A Biblical Case for the Church's Deliverance

This podcast explores the Rapture of the Church and its ascension to Christ. It contrasts three views of the Rapture: pre-trib, mid-trib/pre-wrath, and post-trib.

This podcast will also clarify that the tribulation is God's wrath, that is, from the breaking of the seals to the pouring out of the bowls in the Book of Revelation.

It will also examine the promises of Revelation 3:10, Luke 21:36, and John 14:3.

This podcast also distinguishes the Church's removal from the world from the removal of the wicked in Matthew 24 and the gathering of the remnant of Israel in Mark 13.

The wheat-and-tares parable will be the final piece to put the three snatchings away into chronological order.

Does 2 Thessalonians 2 Disprove the Pre-Trib Rapture? A Biblical Response

A common objection to the Pre-Tribulation Rapture is the claim that 2 Thessalonians 2:1–4 disproves it. In this teaching, we carefully examine that passage in its historical, theological, and biblical context to show what the apostle Paul is actually addressing, and what he is not.

Paul writes to believers who were shaken and troubled because they had been deceived into thinking the Day of the Lord (the seven-year Tribulation) had already begun. This podcast explains why Paul’s concern was not to redefine the Rapture, but to correct a false report that had led the Thessalonians to believe they were already in the time of God’s wrath.

In this podcast, we cover:

• The meaning of “the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him.”

• Why the “Day of Christ” is synonymous with the Day of the Lord, not the Rapture

• How early Christian usage connects Old Testament judgment language to Christ

• Why the Thessalonians’ fear only makes sense if they expected deliverance

• Promises of escape found in Revelation 3:10, Luke 21:27–36, and John 14:1–3

• How these passages consistently support the Pre-Tribulation Rapture,

Rather than contradicting the Pre-Trib view, 2 Thessalonians 2 actually affirms it when read carefully.

The Church’s blessed hope remains the promise of being gathered to Christ before the outpouring of divine wrath upon the world. 📖 Key passages referenced: 2 Thessalonians 2:1–5, Revelation 3:10, Luke 21:27–36, John 14:1–3, 1 Thessalonians 4:16–17, Titus 2:13.
