Coffeehouse Questions With Ryan Pauly

A few weeks back I posted a video to coffeehousequestions.com titled, "How can God be loving when he commanded killing in the Old Testament?" This video received a comment by an atheist pointing out seven issues that he had with my response. In this podcast, I play the video, state his objections, and then give my response.

Neal Hardin joined me to discuss the Nashville Statement and his testimony as someone who deals with same-sex attraction. Make sure you don't miss his incredible testimony as he shares how the church should respond to this critical issue today.

Some people think apologetics is about winning arguments and showing people that they are wrong. Others think that apologetics is purely intellectual. However, this couldn't be further from the truth. Michael Sherrard, the author of Relational Apologetics, joins me to discuss how apologetics is all about relationships.

The world's top golfers understand the need for preparation and perseverance. They must also have a deep understanding of the rule book which helps them know which decisions are right and wrong. Listen how Ryan applies these same four lessons to apologetics and students.

Ryan looks at new research released by Barna at how competing worldviews are influencing Christians today. Ryan then gives a practical example of how you can teach students that not everything is biased or a person's interpretation. There really is an objective reality and objective morality that we need to discover.

Over the last two weeks I have had multiple questions about how to get people to think about Christianity. How can we motivate students to think about other people and future decisions? What can we do when they are apathetic? How can we initiate conversations about Christianity with friends or family members? This week I answer these questions and give a few practical steps that we can take to discuss Christianity with those around us.

This week is a look at the four main evidences for the resurrection of Jesus and the naturalistic explanations.

Dr. Jeff Zweerink, an astrophysicist and research scholar at Reasons to Believe, joined me to talk about what Christians need to know about Big Bang cosmology. It was interesting that he was able to show how the Big Bang can be useful when it comes to Evangelism. Listen and see how he connected the two!

Dr. Jeff Zweerink, a research scholar at Reasons to Believe, joined me this week to talk about the integration of science and faith. He is an astrophysicist studying the multiverse theory, dark energy and dark matter, and exoplanets. In this episode he talks about what it is like being a Christian scientist, why the church should care about the scientific disciplines, and how students can stay strong in their faith while studying science.

This week is part 2 with Kenneth Samples, senior research scholar at Reasons to Believe, on logic and critical thinking. This week we finished talking about the laws of logic and then discussed three important logical fallacies.

February 28th marked the first anniversary for the Coffeehouse Questions Podcast. I took this opportunity to reflect back on the first year and to explain why I do apologetics.

This week's podcast comes from my newest talk titled "Everyone Has to Start Somewhere." In this talk, I discuss four different levels of relationships. This helps us better understand where people are starting and how to help develop a deeper relationship with God.

Ryan Pauly and Neal Hardin discuss the state of our culture, the different secular influences, and how Christians can respond.
