Worldview Legacy | The Think Institute

If you’re a follower of Jesus, you have a king in Heaven; His kingdom is secure, and it will last forever. This is an important reality to keep in mind. Because of this, however, it can be tempting to ignore all earthly political issues as unimportant. Is this the correct posture for Christians? While we shouldn’t let politics dominate our lives, is there a proper way of engaging in the political realm, productively and biblically, without sacrificing our Christian integrity? And how do we lead our families into the sphere of politics (without stressing out our wives and kids, preferably)? This is Part One of our interview with Stephen Wolfe and Thomas Achord, hosts of the “Ars Politica” podcast. Listen as they discuss why they decided to wade into politics and how they approach the threat of harmful, leftist ideology.

Mass formation psychosis. Depending on whom you listen to, it’s either the perfect description of our cultural situation, or else it’s not a real thing at all. Jesus is king. We need to remember this. While we shouldn’t let politics dominate our lives, is there a proper way of engaging in the political realm, productively and biblically, without sacrificing our Christian integrity? And how do we lead our families into the sphere of politics (without stressing out our wives and kids, preferably)? This is Part Two of our interview with Stephen Wolfe and Thomas Achord, hosts of the “Ars Politica” podcast.

Are there parts of the Bible that make a claim, only to have that claim refuted by another part of the Bible? If so, this amounts to a contradiction—both statements cannot be true in the same way at the same time—and this would pose a major problem for Christianity, and for Christians. Hey I'm Joel Settecase, the founder and lead teacher of the Think Institute. This challenge is one that I've come across quite a few times in my work as a Christian apologist. Odds are, you've encountered it yourself, from an internet atheist, an inquisitive coworker, a skeptical uncle, or even from your own kids. So, did you know how to respond? Or if you haven't gotten this objection yet, how would you respond? In this episode, Pastor Andrew Rappaport returns as guest host. Andrew Rappaport is the preaching pastor of Grace & T ruth Bible Church in Bucks County, PA, and founder and executive director of Striving for Eternity Ministries and the Christian Podcast Community. He is the host of several podcasts and the author of multiple books. Andrew’s Links: Website: https://strivingforeternity.org/ Books and Resources: https://strivingforeternity.org/store/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/StrivingforEternity He's going to go into some deep waters, so get ready, and by the time this episode is finished, you'll know exactly how to answer when someone points to a supposed contradiction in the text of Scripture.

In this episode, Dean Meadows answers a question that’s been bouncing around the world wide net for a long time. In fact, it’s been too long, and it’s time to put this old dog down. Namely, we’re talking about the accusation that the Gospel—the story of Jesus Christ’s birth, life, death, and resurrection—is based on ancient, pagan myths. It would naturally follow, of course, that the events recorded in Scripture are not historical, and that your hope in Jesus Christ is in vain. So how should we respond? And how will you reply to your kids when they (inevitably) bring this challenge home? (Yes, even you homeschoolers will likely have to deal with this one eventually.) We need solid answers, and Dean Meadows does not disappoint. Dean Meadows is the Executive Director of The Daily Apologist. He holds a B.A. in Theology from the Bear Valley Bible Institute International; B.S. in Bible/Ministry from Amridge University; and an M.A. in Christian Apologetics from Biola University. He's currently pursuing a MSc in Philosophy from the University of Edinburgh, Scotland. Access the Daily Apologist videos, podcasts, and articles at https://thedailyapologist.com.

In this episode, the Brothers Gruber RETURN to address an absolutely timely and highly conflicting subject: churches and the metaverse. Maybe you’ve heard that Life.Church has established a presence on the metaverse. Is this a good thing? Should other churches follow suit? Should churches eventually “plant” exclusively “in” the metaverse (if that’s even a term that makes sense)? And are Christians “doing church in the metaverse” really doing church at all? What does God think about all this? And how can you guide your family through this time? Jesse and Justin Gruber are the hosts of the “Carpe Fide” podcast. The heart of Carpe Fide is rooted in faith, family, and facial hair. Jesse and Justin both serve as elders in their local church and have a passion to equip the saints in whatever way they can. Carpe fide - seize the faith - is an important motto for them: they realize Christians must grab their shields, take up their swords and stand firm in the faith.
