We welcome Dr. Lydis McGrew to the show to talk about her two books, “Hidden in Plain View” and “The Mirror and the Mask”. For this part, we cover Dr. McGrew’s book about whether or not the Gospels are Literary Device or Historical Narrative. Literary devices are the theory that the Gospels are used by the authors to convey a message over being historically accurate. There’s a lot to be said about this subject and a lot of controversy so we should approach this with balance and reading both sides in the best light possible.

He then responds to how he deals with evaluating the possibility of supernatural causes in everyday life.

We finish up with a charge and challenge from Detective Wallace on always being ready to give a defense for the hope we have.

Ep. 48 – Bob Murphy Interview – Economist & Christian – Part 2

Ep48

In this second part of the interview, Dr. Murphy talks about where economic truth derives from.  If the Fall never occurred would economic principles still stand? Then we talk about some of the weird stances people can have when applying economic principles to other parts of their lives.

Dr. Murphy and Patrick have a discussion on the similarities Austrian Economics has with Presuppositional Apologetics.  Dr. Murphy gives some advice to Christians from an economic standpoint & encourages other Christians to learn economics as part of God’s ordered universe.

Ep. 47 – Bob Murphy Interview – Economist & Christian – Part 1

Ep47

In this first part of the interview, Dr. Murphy talks about what economics is and why Christians should care.  We also discuss the fact that the Christian worldview accounts for economic theories.  We also talk about the application of Austrian Economic theory, a theory based on presuppositional claims, when it comes to showing that slavery is not only immoral but a terrible economic decision. 

Ep. 44 – Tulips & Honey Podcast Interview

We talk about our salvation story, how we met, what our show is about, and how we picked the name “Cave To The Cross Apologetics”.  We also cover topics like why Christians should be readers, Christians need to learn from their history, Christian living, and what books we recommend and don’t.  We also engage in some tomfoolery that is completely to blame on Lauren & Becca.
