This book is an extensive defense of Christianity, covering topics such as the reliability of the Bible, the historicity of Jesus, and responses to skepticism. It is divided into four main parts: Evidence for the Bible, Evidence for Jesus, Evidence for the Old Testament, and Evidence for Truth. The book includes updated chapters and new sections addressing contemporary criticisms and competing worldviews. It serves as a resource for Christians to defend their faith against various critics and skeptics.
In 'More Than a Carpenter', Josh McDowell, a former skeptic, presents his journey from agnosticism to Christianity. Through thorough research, he discovered evidence that supported the claims of Jesus Christ, contrary to his initial intentions to disprove them. The book, now in a revised and updated edition, addresses questions relevant to today's generation, such as 'How do I find happiness and meaning in life?', 'Is it really possible to know the truth about God and Jesus?', and 'How can Jesus be the only way?'. It examines the reliability of Scripture, the testimony of the disciples, and the clues to the authenticity of the resurrection, making a compelling case for Jesus being more than just a first-century Hebrew carpenter.
This week, Brook sits down with actor, author, and producer Kirk Cameron for a powerful conversation about faith, marriage, and what it means to live as a man of God.
While many remember Kirk from his prominent roles in the Growing Pains TV series and the Left Behind films, his story goes far beyond the screen. He shares how a shift from atheism to Christianity as a teenager altered the trajectory of his life, leading him to become a devoted husband, father of six, and now a grandfather.
We talk about Kirk’s new kids’ show, Iggy and Mr. Kirk, streaming on BRAVE+, created to offer low-stimulation, character-focused content in a world full of noise.
Kirk also shares rich wisdom on marriage, describing it as “a school you enroll in to learn how to die to yourself.” He challenges the cultural narrative that marriage is about happiness, reframing it as a path to holiness and covenantal love. Kirk dropped this memorable alliteration when it comes to marriage: “If you focus on rights, you’ll promote rebellion. But if you focus on responsibilities, you create the conditions for revival.”
The episode closes with a meaningful reflection on biblical manhood — how to model it for our sons, even if we didn’t have it modeled for us. Kirk points to meekness as a defining trait: strength and power, willingly submitted to the authority of God.
This episode is packed with truth, encouragement, and clarity for anyone striving to live and lead with purpose. Don’t miss it!
