  • 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.

Did Jesus Prove He Wasn’t Sinless When He Overturned the Tables?
Q: Why was Jesus known for associating with sinners?
Greg explains that Jesus associated with sinners not to champion them, but to engage with all people, welcoming those who recognized their need for God.
Did Jesus Prove He Wasn’t Sinless When He Overturned the Tables?
Q: Is Jesus' response to the Pharisees in Mark 3 22–26 a bad argument?
Greg argues that Jesus presents a strong logic showing it is unreasonable for Satan to cast out Satan. The speculation of deception by Satan doesn't hold against the clear evidence of Jesus' miraculous acts.
What About Those Who Never Heard the Name of Jesus?
Q: Where do the souls that lived before Jesus go to since they couldn't be baptized or saved?
Those who died before Christ and before baptism are still saved the same way as anyone after Christ—by their faith and trust in God, which was expressed in different ways in the old covenant.
What About Those Who Never Heard the Name of Jesus?
Q: Is there any warrant from the Bible for thinking that those who have not heard of Jesus will nevertheless be saved due to a humble repentant attitude?
The only way someone can have a humble attitude of repentance is if the Holy Spirit is working on them, suggesting that if they were brought to that point, the Holy Spirit would also provide the information necessary for salvation.
How Do You Justify Calling Jesus the Messiah?
Q: What do you think is the reason for the virgin birth? Is it just to set Jesus apart as unique, or is there a deeper meaning?
The virgin birth might signify a miraculous event, showing that Jesus is uniquely from God. Some speculate that it is related to the idea that sin nature is passed down through men, implying Jesus does not have a fallen nature due to his virgin birth.
