Evidentialist vs. Presuppositionalist Apologetics
Christianity is a missionary religion, and Christians are supposed to be able to talk about their faith in Jesus with those who are unbelievers. But should Christians try to convince unbelievers with evidence for Christianity, or is there a better way to argue for the truth of the biblical narrative? Chuck and Aaron talk about how best to do Christian apologetics on this episode of Craving Answers, Craving God.

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.
The End of the World (Ep25)
Everyone is afraid of the end of the world. We sense that our plans to protect ourselves from such an event are largely ineffective, and this leaves us hopeless. But God is determined to recreate creation, getting rid of all the bad things to make all things new and fresh again.
Faith and Hope (Ep24)
Christian faith and hope are at the heart of what it means to be a human relating to God. Christian faith is neither a blind leap in the dark, nor is it a weighing of evidences and proofs and then making a logical decision to trust God. Instead, the Christian life is faith seeking understanding – we place our trust in God and that trust then starts to make sense of the rest of our lives.
