  • 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.

Why Did God Give Moses the Ten Commandments Instead of Sending Jesus?
Q: What does it mean to call Jesus Christ the Lamb of God?
Jesus is described as the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world, a title that connects his mission to the Passover and the sacrificial system. It signifies substitutionary atonement and the universal scope of salvation, showing that his sacrifice fulfills and transcends the earlier covenants and sacrifices, bringing forgiveness to all who believe.
Why Did God Give Moses the Ten Commandments Instead of Sending Jesus?
Q: What are your thoughts on why God gave Moses the Ten Commandments instead of sending Jesus then?
The Ten Commandments were part of a broader Mosaic Covenant that functioned as a constitutional framework for Israel, shaping their culture and revealing sin, so that the coming Messiah could be properly understood and received at an appropriate time in history. This period provided a context in which people could recognize their need for salvation and anticipate Christ, with later revelations clarifying that faith in Jesus fulfills what the law pointed toward.
How Do You Deal with Someone Whose Mission Is to Tear Down Everyone Else’s Belief in Jesus?
Q: How can a parent reach a daughter who has left the faith and is in a new relationship or identifying with a non-Christian worldview?
The advisors suggest remaining steady in prayer, demonstrating steadfast love, and continuing to model Christian virtues. They acknowledge that some cases require long-term faithfulness and patient encouragement, trusting that God can work in surprising ways. The emphasis is on consistent prayer, not pressuring or coercing, and maintaining open dialogue for when the person is ready to engage again.
How Do You Deal with Someone Whose Mission Is to Tear Down Everyone Else’s Belief in Jesus?
Q: What should a parent do when a child or teen seems to be drifting away from faith, especially if there are external pressures like peer influence?
The recommended response is to avoid panic, monitor peer influences, and create an environment where faith is lived authentically. Emphasize early spiritual routines, read Scripture together, share stories of perseverance, and model trust in God. The aim is to cultivate love for Jesus and a sense that faith is worth more than social acceptance or material comfort, while being gracious but firm about boundaries and influences.
How Do You Deal with Someone Whose Mission Is to Tear Down Everyone Else’s Belief in Jesus?
Q: How do you deal with a Christian who is deconstructed, whose mission is to try and tear everyone else's beliefs about Jesus down?
The suggested approach is to first understand the person's underlying reasons for leaving or questioning, then focus on strengthening the faith of those still in the circle by asking questions, offering resources, and fostering ongoing dialogue. It's important to be patient, model genuine faith, and be ready to address concerns with thoughtful responses rather than rushing to conclusions. Over time, a combination of community support, clear evidential discussion, and personal example can help both the individual and the rest of the church community navigate the challenge.
