Ep. 76 – Finding Truth – How Critical Thinking Saves Faith
We wrap up Professor Pearcey’s book with a challenge to Christians and to the Church. That challenge is to stand firm on the Word of God as you say that you do, learn and use critical thinking skills that God encourages us to use, and to go into the world preaching the Good News of the Gospel.
Ep. 75 – Finding Truth – Free-Loading Atheists – Part 2
We finish up Principle 5 by continuing to present examples of atheists freely admitting to stealing from Christianity’s superior worldview. So much so that non-theists attempt to elbow into areas addressed previously by Christianity – including atheist churches. Along with a warning about scientism, Christians are encouraged to present the Gospel with love and respect.
Ep. 74 – Finding Truth – Free-Loading Atheists – Part 1
Onto Principle 5! We talk about how and why the Christian should present the Christian worldview as the superior and most consistent one. We then go over where the atheist(s) freely admit to stealing from the Christian worldview in order to come to the beliefs they want to rather than the outcomes their beliefs would demand.
Ep. 73 – Finding Truth – Why Worldviews Commit Suicide – Part 3

Ep. 71 – Finding Truth – Why Worldviews Commit Suicide
Principle 4 – does the worldview meet its own standard when it is applied to itself? Since non-Christian worldviews tend to be reductionistic they will be self-defeating. In this episode, we introduce the principle and why it is one of the most important tools you have in your apologetic quiver.

Ep. 68 – Finding Truth – Secular Leaps Of Faith – Part 3
Finishing up the chapter, we look at the worldviews of postmodernists and its failure to account for what’s seen in the exterior world. When failing to live consistently with the belief that everyone is a robot and no one should really be held accountable for their actions, we see many fall back to wanting to believe Christianity is true but believing that it accounts for the facts too well.
Ep. 67 – Finding Truth – Secular Leaps Of Faith – Part 2
Here we delve deeper into the secular materialist when it comes to failing to account for the things seen in the world. We see that they tend to make leaps of faith in their outlook that they can’t back up. They then establish possible outcomes that are downright scary. To save them from immoral and […]
Ep. 66 – Finding Truth – Secular Leaps Of Faith – Part 1
Picking up on the third principle, we now look at how non-Christian worldviews don’t explain what is seen in the world. With an idol replacing God, secular worldviews come upon truths in human nature or universal makeup or within the confines of experience that it must dismiss as an illusion or explain it away as not real. The quotes taken from leaders in the field are quite shocking and honest but necessarily follows from their basic outlook on the world.
