Worldview Legacy | The Think Institute

You are about to watch Joel Settecase get interviewed by the hosts of The Particular Baptist Podcast. We will discuss... • What makes religions incoherent, and how Christianity avoids that trap. • Why we must defend the true God of the Bible (not "bare theism"). • Why I never merely argue from evidence. • How to show that the very concept of truth is meaningless without God (and how to explain this). If you want to understand the Christian worldview and how to explain it to non-Christians get Joel's new book, The Bible Based Worldview, here: https://a.co/d/2JxRJpf The Particular Baptist Podcast: https://theparticularbaptist.net ---- Please support this work!

How can someone get so close to God, yet completely miss Him? This is the question Paul had to answer on Mars Hill in Acts 17:16–34. Back then, as today, there are three things that keep people from knowing God: • Our DELUSIONS • Our DEFENSES • Our DESPAIR God shatters each and every one of those with Biblical truth. Watch and see how "Biblical truth destroys disbelief." This is a sermon Joel Settecase preached at Fox Valley Christian Church in December of 2023, entitled, "Unveiling the Unknown God." Open your Bible to Acts 1716–34 and follow along. ---- THE HAMMER & ANVIL SOCIETY: Get seminary-quality learning in community, 100% remote.

How do you KNOW? How do you know what what you think you know is really true? To answer that, you must have an absolute standard of truth. Let's walk through Acts 17:10–15 together to see what God says must be the absolute standard of truth in the Christian life. This episode comes from a sermon Joel Settecase preached at Cross of Christ Fellowship (https://www.crossofchristfellowship.org) in Naperville, Illinois. Specifically, you're going to learn about:  • The absolute necessity for having a solid standard of truth • The three qualities that a standard of truth must have • How the Bible has those three qualities • How the acronym A-C-T can help you understand and articulate why the Bible is the perfect, divine standard of truth ---- Please support this work!

“How do we win?” That’s what we are talking about in this episode.  Andrew Isker, pastor and author of The Boniface Option, joins us to lay out his vision for how to overthrow “Trash World” and retake society for Jesus Christ. —- Questions we'll answer today include:  • What Andrew Isker means by the term “trash world.” • Why I think going to school board meetings is not enough. • Why it is hard to determine who is behind the leftist and anti-God movement in our society.  • How to start parallel institutions and use them to take over existing institutions.  • The benefits of being in good physical shape—even if you don’t look like a Greek god. And much, much more. —- Check out Joel Settecase’s book, The Bible Based Worldview: https://a.co/d/8yh5Vx9 ------ Resources related to this episode:  • The Boniface Option book: https://a.co/d/iDlZtiz • The “Contra Mundum” Podcast: https://pod.link/1671830867  • Brian Sauvé interview: “Rise of the Christian Culture Builders”  https://thethink.institute/articles/brian-sauv-the-rise-of-the-christian-culture-builders  —- Subscribe to the Think Institute YouTube Channel!

Is the age of the Earth a big deal for Christians? That's the question, and it came up because a guy named Dr. Gavin Ortlund made a video on YouTube. He's a pastor, scholar, and YouTuber. In his video, he seriously disagrees Ken Ham, who started Answers In Genesis. Just so you know, I like Ken Ham's work. Ken Ham believes strongly in a young Earth, and Dr. Ortlund says that Ken is wrong to say it's the only way Christians should think about it. Ortlund thinks there's more to it and that the church didn't always agree on this. When you want to respond to someone as smart as Dr. Ortlund, you need to have experts with you. Apolojedi and Ben Kissling are those experts, and I'm excited they joined me for this discussion. If you're curious about what the Bible says about how old the Earth is and what Christians have thought about it over time, this talk is for you.If you talk to young people about big questions in life and about religion, this is for you. And if you just want to learn more to better explain and defend your faith, this is for you too.In this episode, pay attention to: Why some people bring up Augustine when they talk about Earth's age, and what Augustine really believed. Where Augustine might have gone wrong and why we should be careful about following everything he said. What the Christian church as a whole believed about the Earth's age in the past. ---- Resources for you: • ⁠⁠https://Apolojedi.com⁠⁠ • Macrophage Strategy (Ben Kissling's Podcast): ⁠⁠https://pod.link/1617142706⁠⁠ • Macrophage Strategy (Ben Kissling's YouTube channel): ⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@MacrophageStrategy ⁠⁠ ---- Please support this work!

The discussion kicks off by examining what defines science and being scientific. It argues that atheism, often seen as a lack of belief, doesn't support scientific inquiry like Christianity does. Listeners will discover how a biblical worldview undergirds scientific exploration, presenting a universe of order and design that challenges atheistic interpretations. The conversation culminates with an invitation to a new community focused on deepening Christian faith and engagement.
