#94 Why the Trinity Is ABSOLUTELY Necessary for Logic

Apologetics, Family Discipleship, and Christian Theology combine in this compelling episode from The Think Institute. 

In this episode of the Worldview Legacy podcast, Joel Settecase, president of the Think Institute and former pastor, introduces a new series focused on the doctrine of the Trinity. Settecase explains the historical origins of the term 'Trinity' and its relevance to the Christian faith. 

He emphasizes the need for Christian men to teach their children about God's triune nature and how this understanding connects to key life questions, logic, and defending the Christian faith. 

The episode covers the three laws of logic—identity, non-contradiction, and excluded middle—demonstrating how they align with the nature of the Triune God. 

Settecase also offers practical advice for building a legacy of faith in one's family and introduces the Hammer and Anvil Society for further discipleship and community support.

Specifically, we're going to answer these questions:

What are the three laws of logic?

What are the attributes of the three laws of logic?

How do the three laws of logic relate to one another?

How does the perfect unity of the Laws of Logic make sense in light of the Triune nature of God?

How does the Bible teach a framework for believing in the laws of logic?

How does the Bible teach a framework in which it makes sense to believe in the laws of logic?

How to make a powerful apologetics argument from all this.
