Worldview Legacy | The Think Institute

The Bible says God created the world in six days… right? Well, yes, it does. But the world says otherwise.  How will you respond? —- Today I'll specifically be answering: What 3 views of creation do most Christians hold? What's wrong with so-called evolutionary creationism? Why is old-earth creationism close but no cigar? Why am I a young-earth creationist? What are the negative implications of rejecting a young-earth view? —- Resources Mentioned: FairyPengu's server: https://discord.gg/kNFapA3a MUCH NEEDED: Support the work of the Think Institute and partner with Joel Settecase at https://give.cru.org/1018841 Music Credits: Synthwave Intro 10 by TaigaSoundProd Link: https://filmmusic.io/song/8736-synthwave-intro-10 License: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license

Question: Can God make a rock so heavy, He can't lift it? At first glance it might sound like a dumb question. But when you peel back the layers, you find there's more to it. Today I'm going to share with you a method for defending your faith that you can use with this question—and many more. Today we're going to be answering the questions: What is the real challenge being presented by the "unliftable rock" question? What role can shame play in answering objections to Christianity? How can you get to the bigger question behind the "rock question" and use that to give a strong defense of the Christian worldview? And of course, Can God actually create a rock so heavy He can't lift it, or not? Subscribe to the Think Institute YouTube Channel!

Think about the possibility of increasing your influence in your family, work and local area. What comes to your mind? Do you think you could do it? Or here's a better question: do you think you could increase your influence, without lording it over others? Today we're joined by C. R. Wiley. C. R., or Chris, has written extensively about Tom Bombadil, and he's just authored a book called In the House of Tom Bombadil. In it he unpacks who he thinks Tom Bombadil really is and why Tolkein included him in his stories. But also how Tom Bombadil can help us understand the nature of the world, how to increase our influence in it, and how to be more joyful—how to have fun doing it. Questions we'll answer today include: How Tom Bombadil exercises power in a counterintuitive way Why Tolkein's most powerful character has so much joy What it means to have dominion without domination How increasing your knowledge can help you increase your influence—and what kind of knowledge you need How modern bureaucracies domineer and dominate What is the "Bombadil Option?" How to overcome fear when you are surrounded by chaos What it means to be antifragile How to be more joyful and jocular in your home—and why you shouldn't take yourself too seriously —— Get CR Wiley's book, In the House of Tom Bombadil: https://canonpress.com/products/in-the-house-of-tom-bombadil/ ——- Subscribe to the Think Institute YouTube Channel!

No man wants to fail as a father, just like no homebuilder wants to build a house that collapses in the first storm of the season. But just like a builder needs a good blueprint for a house, Christian fathers need a blueprint for how to succeed as a father. Let me explain… When it comes to viewpoints on fatherhood, there are many options today. The Christian idea of what it means to be a dad faces fierce competition from the many diverse other views in the world. But only one of those alternatives is from God. And that's the one found in the Bible. In this episode I'm going to tell you about the biblical blueprint for fatherhood, and how it can guarantee you success as a dad. If you've ever felt frustrated by all the competing opinions telling you how to be a dad, this episode is for you. You need a solid answer from God's word. And that's what you're going to get.

What happens when someone asks you a question with an ulterior motive, designed to trap you and make your beliefs look foolish?  You must be ready to respond to gotcha questions… especially when others are watching.  You can turn what was intended as a trap, into an opportunity to show how true and solid the Christian worldview really is.  In this episode you will learn:  What is faith in the Bible?  What is justification—how are we made right with God?  What is the Gospel?  Is faith in Jesus enough to save you, or do you need baptism too?  What is the best way to escape a debate trap?  Resources Mentioned: Politics Server on Discord: https://discord.gg/nJ4JjY5  ------  Subscribe to the Think Institute YouTube Channel!

Joel Settecase shares his origin story. He started as a Bible in Chicago, only to realize that God had created him for something else.  The journey to discover what that was is what led him to starting this podcast.  Along the way, God would teach him more than he expected, especially as two major catastrophes struck his family.  ----  Subscribe to the Think Institute YouTube Channel!  This channel will deliver even more knowledge on how to answer questions and objections to the Christian worldview!

Today on Worldview Legacy we're going to face this fact: people are going to ask you your opinion about today's most divisive topics. So how do you share what the Bible teaches about sensitive ethical issues, when you know the person won't like your answer? That's what I'm going to answer for your today, by modeling it myself… and answering three sensitive questions about Christianity and biblical ethics. This is Worldview Legacy, the show that helps Christian men become the worldview leaders their families and churches need. My name is Joel Settecase, and I'm here to help YOU build a legacy, so that you, your kids and wife will be able to confidently answer the questions the world is asking, from the Bible, and as you do, you will see Jesus change lives as you share your faith. Today we're going to answer three questions that I was asked in the Apologetics AMA:  "How do you share the Gospel gay and trans people,"  "Why do Christians seem to have a commitment to liberalism,"  "What is the Bible's stance on suicide?"  I'm going to break these down and explain how I got to the answers, so you can answer them yourself. And each question is going to illustrate a principle to help you answer these questions, and other difficult moral questions, from a Christian point of view.

Jesus told the church to make disciples of all the nations. And for a long time in our nation, spreading the truth of the Bible and Christian teaching was easier than it is now, because being a Christian was mainly seen as a positive thing by our society. However, in recent years our nation has changed and no longer views Christianity in a positive light. This means that  If we stick to old methods, they won't work, we won't reach the world, and we'll grow increasingly frustrated. It’s time to take an honest look at the situation facing us and rethink how we interact with a world that now views our Christian faith with suspicion. This is Worldview Legacy, the show that helps Christian men become the worldview leaders their families and churches need. My name is Joel Settecase, and my mission is to help YOU  to build a legacy, where you, your kids and wife will be able to confidently articulate the answers to the questions the world is asking, from the Bible, and you will see Jesus change lives as you share your faith. Today’s episode is not only going to help prepare you to share and defend our faith yourselves, but will also set you up to pass on the faith to the younger generation so they can build God’s kingdom in the future and not miss anything God has called them to in the years to come. Questions we'll answer today include: What are the three stages that the culture has passed through, in terms of its relationship to the church, and which one are we in now? How exactly should we interact with a world that views Christian faith as a negative thing, and which of our methods aren't working anymore? How can taking the long view—even a multigenerational view—be the best way for men to have hope in the face of a less Christian culture and even a less biblical church? What are the first steps toward revival today? How can you build mental toughness and adjust your risk exposure to fit the current situation? What is one positive aspect of living in a "negative world?"

This is an apologetics AMA Joel Settecase did on Discord, answering six (5) questions from participants. Questions answered: 1. What was the main reason for the Genesis 6 punishment (the global flood)? 2. Is it true goodness, if it's coerced or bribed? 3. When will the faithful community push back and gain ground against the gay lobby? 4. Should Christians reject all violence, as Tolstoy said? 5. If God is so loving, why does he send all non-believers to Hell? — Listen to the ThinkPod: https://anchor.fm/the-think-podcast Watch on YouTube: http://youtube.com/thethinkinstitute If this blessed you, consider supporting us: https://thethink.institute/partner Facebook: http://facebook.com/thethinkinstitute Twitter: http://twitter.com/thinkinst Mewe: http://mewe.com/i/thinkinstitute Gab: http://gab.com/thinkinstitute Minds: https://www.minds.com/thinkinstitute/ Catechize your kids: http://thethink.institute/catakids.
