Join us for an exploration of theology and philosophy from a Christian worldview that will help your apologetics. In this clip from Episode #98, we tackle the ancient philosophical question known as the Euthyphro Dilemma, first presented in Plato's dialogues. Is something morally good because God commands it, or does God command it because it is morally good? Join us as we explore the implications of this dilemma on moral standards and provide a solid answer from a Christian worldview. We’ll explain why the God of the Bible offers an ultimate, unchanging moral foundation, contrasting it with the arbitrary ethics of the Greek gods. Discover how the Christian understanding of God's nature resolves this age-old moral dilemma once and for all.

We're diving deep into the nature of truth through the lenses of theology, apologetics, and worldview. Together, we'll explore what truth is beyond just "the state of being the case." In a world full of confusion, we're here to uncover what it means to understand truth from a biblical perspective. Key Discussion Points: The Three Cs of Truth: Comprehensibility: What makes a proposition meaningful in our language. Coherence: How do the laws of logic underpin true statements? Correspondence: Why does truth require a consistent and reliable reality? We'll examine how these three elements of truth require a solid foundation in the Christian worldview and how they reflect God's attributes of order, logic, and faithfulness. 🌟 CALL TO ACTION: Join the Hammer & Anvil Society!

Join us for a deep dive into one of the most fundamental questions humanity has ever asked: What is really real? Also known as the study of metaphysics, this exploration of “prime reality” has been a part of human thought for thousands of years. But what does the Bible say about it? We’ll discuss: The quest for truth about the world, as expressed by Socrates and Scripture. The relationship between the physical and non-physical aspects of reality. Two key puzzles that every view of metaphysics must address: the "problem of the One and the Many" and the "Mind vs. Matter" question. How the biblical worldview, centered on God and Jesus Christ, provides the answers to these philosophical challenges. Whether you're new to metaphysics or looking to deepen your understanding of the biblical worldview, this livestream will equip you with the knowledge to talk about your faith and think biblically about all of life. 📖 Key Scripture: Proverbs 18:15 – "An intelligent heart acquires knowledge, and the ear of the wise seeks knowledge." 🔴 Join the conversation and learn how Jesus ties it all together. 00:00 Welcome to the Think Institute Live Stream 02:02 Introduction to Metaphysics 03:27 Defining Metaphysics and Its Importance 10:58 The Puzzles of Metaphysics: One and Many, Mind vs. Matter 22:42 Biblical Worldview: Solving Metaphysical Puzzles 33:05 God as Creator and the Primacy of Mind 35:06 Human Beings: The Pinnacle of Creation 36:02 Jesus and Christian Metaphysics 42:23 Materialism: The View of Absolute Diversity 45:00 Pantheism: The Oneness Ideology 48:05 Polytheism: The Religion of Multiple Gods 51:53 Islam and Unitarian Religions 55:12 The Superiority of Christianity 56:48 Q&A and Final Thoughts

How's your worldview? In this episode, you're going to explore why having a Biblical worldview is essential in today's society. This episode kicks off a series aimed at helping Christians deepen their understanding of biblical teachings, contrast them with other worldviews, and confidently address life's biggest questions. 00:00 Introduction: The Importance of a Biblical Worldview 04:16 Defining Worldview and Its Impact 06:58 The Rise of Syncretism in America 11:25 The Biblical Mandate for a Distinct Worldview 16:13 Jesus at the Center of the Biblical Worldview 17:51 Key Questions Every Worldview Must Answer 23:36 The Uniqueness of the Bible 31:33 Conclusion and Call to Action

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.
