  • Helpful and Thoughtful

    The December episode on “We Can’t Both Be Christians” is a beneficial conversation for intentional, loving, and practical dialogue about the basis for Christianity and any religion, and in this case specifically the teachings of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Greg avoids disparaging other’s beliefs or straw manning to oversimplify—instead he uses primary sources, gives clear arguments, and walks through how only one group can be Christians based on what both groups believe.

  • Very helpful!

    I came across this after reading Greg’s book Tactics. A book that has helped me immensely to process conversations and communicate thoughts more clearly. That’s what this podcast does for me as well, but usually with a more targeted issues such as current events.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Will Both Christians and Non-Christians Stand in the Judgment?
Q: How should Christians navigate charity and truth in apologetic conversations without giving away essential ground?
The host advises affirming true points from the other side when possible, maintaining ground for one's own position, and avoiding an always-defensive stance; the strategist aims for common ground without compromising core beliefs.
Will Both Christians and Non-Christians Stand in the Judgment?
Q: Do both Christians and non-Christians stand in the judgment?
The host explains there are two judgments: the final Great White Throne for the wicked, and the Bema Seat for believers, where rewards are given for deeds; Christians are not destined for the final judgment because Christ has paid the penalty.
AI Will Never Be a Person
Q: Do Muslims worship the true God?
No; while they worship a god, it is not the true God of the Bible, and belief in the Trinity is a core differentiator that separates the Christian God from the Islamic conception.
Interview: Stephen Driscoll – God, Artificial Intelligence, and You
Q: Can you help us understand what AI is?
Stephen Driscoll explains that AI is a learning system inspired by the brain, built to predict and eventually solve problems, rather than being a simple coded program; it's a complex network of trillions of connections that learns from training data.
The Biggest Challenge That Has Tested Greg’s Faith
Q: How do we know Christians believe the right thing?
He explains a method: rely on scriptures (Gospels, Epistles) and the early church tradition as a chain of custody to support what is right in Christian belief.
