It’s Day 12 of the ThinkPod 12 Days of Christmas! In this episode, Joel Settecase answers the question, “Do all religions ultimately teach the same thing?

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.

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.

Talking animals, people turning into pillars of salt, and sea monsters swallowing men whole (only to vomit them back up, alive, three days later): it sounds like the stuff of fairy tales… or perhaps ancient myths. But do these stories have a place among today’s trusted, historical volumes? Are these merely the kind of tales we tell children in order to teach good morals, or do they point to a grander, true story about the real history of the world? In this episode, Joel Settecase helps you explain why the Bible is not a book of fairy tales. It’s an apologetic argument that you will be able to put into practice right away.

In this episode, Joel Settecase, host of the ThinkPod, answers an objection made by a family member over a DECADE ago.

Join Joel Settecase for this brief, laid-back episode that will help you explain to your friends and family how to respond when someone accuses your faith of being “a crutch.” Read Doug Ponder’s article here: https://www.christianity.com/bible/apologetics/two-big-reasons-why-people-reject-christianity.html 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.

To answer the challenge, "Can the Bible's authors be trusted," we're going to discuss three points: Why without God, there’s nothing wrong with “bias.” Why fairness presupposes the truth of the Bible. Why he authors of the NT can be trusted.
