Saint and Sinner (Ep34)
One of the main differences between Christianity and all other religions and worldviews is its realism and hope – Christianity recognizes the brokenness of sinful humans, but offers those same humans hope for being good in God’s eyes by their being connected to Jesus, and thus becoming at the same time sinners and saints.
Why Being Good Isn’t Enough (Ep33)
The Bible insists that being a good person and doing good things isn’t enough to justify our existence. Instead, the only way we can “be right” is to allow God to say that we’re “right,” and the way he does this is by connecting us to his son, Jesus.
Worship (Ep32)
Everyone worships. All of us give something or someone ultimate value. And this position determines our actions and controls our emotions and decisions, so it’s extremely important to worship that which is truly worthy. And Christianity insists that the only thing truly worthy of worship is Jesus.
Is Christianity Inclusive or Exclusive? (Ep31)
Unlike every other religion and philosophy in the world, Christianity is both inclusive – it welcomes everyone regardless of who they are or what they’ve done – and exclusive – it insists that the one way into this universal family is through Jesus of Nazareth.
Is God in Charge? (Ep30)
The Christian Bible teaches that God created and runs everything. But if this is so, why do things seem out of control sometimes? Does he really rule over all things? The Bible teaches that God’s control is much too big to fit inside our heads – so big it’s able to include apparent chaos.
Why Did Jesus Have to Die? (Ep29)
The death of God’s son is sometimes seen by unbelievers as barbaric and backwards, but the death of God himself to rescue the world is the heart of the Christian gospel and ultimately the only hope for this deeply broken world.
Angels (Ep28)
Many people are familiar with artistic depictions of angels, or have watched television shows or movies about the activity of fictional angels. But who are they exactly? What is their job? In this episode Chuck and Aaron discuss what the Bible says about who angels are and what they do.
The Rapture (Ep27)
In a culture that is obsessed with the potential of a cataclysmic event leading to the destruction of the world or a dystopian version of reality, stories about the rapture – Jesus coming back to take all his followers out of the world – have taken hold of our culture’s imagination. But the Bible’s teaching about Jesus’ return is very different than this popular conception.
Does God Care About the World? (Ep26)
Everyone agrees that the world is a messed up place, full of brokenness, pain, and evil. Does God care about these problems? Chuck and Aaron discuss how the Bible insists God does care about these problems, but doesn’t engage them with the typical cultural solutions, but attacks them by becoming a human in order to heal them with his own death.
