Election
One of the most confusing, controversial topics in the Bible is that of election – the teaching that God has chosen his people from before the foundation of the world. Confusing, because it’s hard to understand how humans can be free when God chooses those who are saved. Controversial, because it raises questions about God’s fairness. In this episode Chuck and Aaron discuss these and other questions relating to predestination and election.

Christianity and the Environment (Ep48)
The Bible insists that the natural world has value because it is created by God, and that Christians have been called by this creator God to share in his mission to care for the environment in anticipation of the day when Jesus returns and makes the whole world new.
Praise (Ep47)
The Christian God commands us to praise him. Why? Because our natural inclination is to praise what we find good or beautiful or excellent. And God wants us to acknowledge him to be the truly good, beautiful, and excellent One.
Christians and Humility (Ep46)
Why are we so attracted to people who think better of others than they do themselves, but find it so hard to act that way ourselves? Chuck and Aaron talk about why humility is important, why it’s hard to live humbly, and the benefits of not thinking less of ourselves but thinking of ourselves less.
Marriage, Part 2 (Ep45)
Marriage is God’s way to reflect His own nature. The Trinity is God in eternal relationship – the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit for ever loving in covenant commitment with each other. And marriage is one of the best ways to live in relationship like God does.
Marriage, Part 1 (Ep44)
Marriage is a mystery. On one hand it has the potential to be one of the most beautiful and satisfying parts of human existence, but on the other hand it has historically proven to be extremely difficult. Chuck and Aaron discuss biblical marriage, why it’s difficult, and how to enjoy its gospel power.
Science and Faith (Ep43)
Has science disproved Christianity? Has the Enlightenment made religious belief obsolete? Chuck and Aaron discuss how the Christian belief that the creator God made a physical world makes studying that world an integral part of religious faith.
Sin (Ep42)
Sin is an unpopular topic – for everyone, Christians and non-Christians alike. Behind the notion of sin is the idea that we do, say, and think things that violate a universal moral code, and no one likes to think about how they might be wrong. But God has a plan to forgive our sins by clothing us with his son, Jesus.
Hidden Faith (Ep41)
It is difficult to talk about one’s deeply held beliefs. Knowing that people are frequently troubled or offended by expressions of religious faith makes it easy for Christians to be quiet about their Christianity. Chuck and Aaron talk about if and when it’s appropriate to share one’s belief in Jesus.
Work (Ep40)
Is work important? If so, what are the most important jobs? What’s the difference between “sacred” and “secular” occupations? In this episode Chuck and Aaron discuss how important our work, as an expression of the gifts and call of God for each of us, is for bringing Him glory and serving our neighbor.
