  • Must-listen

    The STR podcasts are must-listen for me. They are so good at addressing lies, misunderstandings, and false teachings on today’s social media malaise. They have helped me understand the wrong presuppositions embedded in modern thought: materialism and subjectivism.

  • Always Informative

    I must’ve been listening to this podcast since 2020, I suppose. Heard about it from Jack Hibbs.

    Greg and Amy are a great team and both of them bring terrific insight to common objections against Christian doctrine, and they tackle some of the current cultural issues.

    They’ve consistently produced a couple of shows a week, which I enjoy listening to each Friday.

    Thanks to the STR team.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

How Would You Argue That the Unity of the Bible Is Evidence It’s from God?
Q: When asked why the Gospels don't tell who wrote them, what is the best way to answer?
By explaining that authorship bylines were not common at the time, the early church valued apostolic authority and eyewitness testimony; the Gospels' connections to apostles or close associates, their consistent message, and the lack of competing attributions support their reliability and canonical status.
How Would You Argue That the Unity of the Bible Is Evidence It’s from God?
Q: How would you sketch out the argument for biblical unity as evidence of its being from God?
The argument emphasizes that the Bible comprises 66 books by about 44 authors across 2000 years on three continents, yet presents a profoundly unified story that foregrounds God, humanity, Jesus, the cross, and the resurrection; skepticism about cherry-picking is addressed by distinguishing between assertive claims and explanatory arguments, and by showing how the overall narrative aligns with historical and prophetic developments.
The Reason Why Science Can’t Explain the Supernatural Is That the Supernatural Doesn’t Happen
Q: Does morality exist independently of Christianity, and can Western morality be explained without appealing to Christian foundations?
Morality has objective elements (goodness) that can be recognized due to human nature and cognitive faculties, but the specific Western embodiment of moral terms and rights has been deeply influenced by biblical concepts; thus Christianity provides a historically strong underpinning for Western moral framework, though moral sense can be acknowledged outside explicit Christian doctrine.
The Reason Why Science Can’t Explain the Supernatural Is That the Supernatural Doesn’t Happen
Q: If history happened, wouldn't science eventually explain it, and if not, why not?
History involves agents and intentional actions, not just natural processes; science can describe neurobiological correlates of actions but not necessarily why agents chose those actions. Therefore, history cannot be fully reduced to purely natural explanations, and science doesn't exhaust the possible explanations for historical events.
The Reason Why Science Can’t Explain the Supernatural Is That the Supernatural Doesn’t Happen
Q: How would you respond to the statement that if science explains things that happen, then the reason it can't explain the supernatural is because the supernatural doesn't happen?
We should distinguish science as a method from science as a blanket claim that it explains everything. Science describes natural processes but cannot, in principle, account for non-physical agents or purposes; to say the supernatural doesn't exist merely because science can't explain it is a misuse of what science is and smuggles metaphysical assumptions into the definition of science itself.
