    Greg offers so much practical wisdom based in scripture and backed by scripture. It’s so helpful in my Christian walk. He’s compassionate without watering down truth. Highly recommend for anyone searching or looking to further undergird your faith.

    You did a great job covering for Greg – – I enjoyed you just as much as I do him! Although, you do have a Jersey accent that Greg absolutely does not have! I love it! Made my day!

  • Keep Tim Barnett off the show

    He’s a narcissist and a manipulator. Less of him makes this show all the more better.

  • This podcast is just a repository of motivated reasoning, logical fallacy, misplaced morals, and bad ideas.

    This may not go over well but I don’t think a show should ask for money at the end of the year when the main person is not on very much.

Why an Emotivist Can’t Use Suffering to Argue Against the Existence of God
Q: What's your answer to the mother whose child is dying of cancer?
The world is broken, but God has provided a way to unbreak it through forgiveness and redemption.
Are These My Thoughts, or Is God Speaking to Me?
Q: Do I need to hear a clear directive from God in order to move forward with decisions?

Are These My Thoughts, or Is God Speaking to Me?
Q: How can we tell that God is speaking to us and it's not our own thoughts?
You don't have to discern between your thoughts and God's voice if you're considering doing something good; if it's good, just do it.
Which Worldview Best Explains Meaning and Purpose?
Q: Why is there a meaning crisis?
Greg argues that the meaning crisis reflects a deep hunger for meaning that exists in human nature, which isn't satisfied by materialism alone.
Which Worldview Best Explains Meaning and Purpose?
Q: What motivates us to make meaning in our lives?
