  • Great cross section of guests

    Guests are interviewed at length which allows the interviewee to develop their thoughts at length which is very satisfying.

    Zac doesn’t talk too much and asks pertinent questions to develop and draw out the subject.

    Highly recommended.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Meaning of Faith: A Philosophical and Biblical Definition | Dr. C.A. McIntosh | Ep. #306
Q: How do pre-Christian believers fit into this framework?
Saving faith can be distinct from Christian faith; those like Abraham trusted God based on available revelation and God's promises, even before Christ, while Christian faith includes belief in the gospel propositions now revealed in Christ.
The Meaning of Faith: A Philosophical and Biblical Definition | Dr. C.A. McIntosh | Ep. #306
Q: Why insist on belief as part of faith when some philosophers argue otherwise?
Because the New Testament repeatedly links belief (pistis) with trust in God, the gospel propositions, and the person of Christ, and the Thomas example in John 20 shows that faith involves cognitive belief rather than mere assumption.
The Meaning of Faith: A Philosophical and Biblical Definition | Dr. C.A. McIntosh | Ep. #306
Q: How would you define faith overall based on a careful reading of Scripture?
Saving faith is a justified, positive response to God and His revelation, involving head (belief), heart (affection), and will (allegiance), with reasons, that is warranted by miracles, testimony, and the experience of God.
Faith After Wokeness: Race, Gender, Sexuality | Dr. Neil Shenvi | Ep. #301
Q: What is the core of critical theory according to your explanation?
The core is a four-part framework: a social binary of oppressors and oppressed, a concept of hegemonic power where the ruling class imposes their values, the importance of lived experience in forming consciousness, and an ultimate aim of social justice achieved by dismantling oppressive structures.
The Bible Is Full of Dilemmas—And That’s the Point | Dr. Matthew Lynch | Ep. #302
Q: How should a listener approach the tensions without losing faith?
Trust the curriculum, embrace humility, and recognize that mystery can coexist with knowing more about God through action and revelation, which leads to transformed discipleship.
