Is Christian Faith “Subjective”?
Unbelievers sometimes critique Christian faith for being subjective – based on unprovable personal opinions. Sometimes Christians have tried to argue, in response, that their beliefs are actually objective and based on provable evidence. But is this possible? Is it even desirable? Chuck and Aaron talk about these questions in this episode of Craving Answers, Craving God.

Can Prayer Change God’s Mind? (Ep51)
The Bible tells us that God never changes. It also tells us to pray because God listens to our prayers and responds to them, sometimes doing what we ask. This only looks like a contradiction – the sovereign God who never changes has decided to use the prayers of his people to accomplish his good purposes. The Bible tells us that God never changes.

Is God Angry With Me? (Ep50)
The Bible tells us that God is a God of love, but it also frequently describes him as an angry God. No one likes the idea of an angry, judging God, but the Bible makes it clear that God’s anger does not mean he lacks love, but happens precisely because he is all-loving.
Loving the World (Ep49)
The Bible tells us that God loves the world. But it also says Christians should not love the world. What does this mean, and how does it work? Chuck and Aaron discuss what love is, how it can be understood in different ways, and how self sacrifice is always more powerful than self gratification.
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.
