  • 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.

Should Confidence in a Belief Be Informed by How Long the Belief Has Been Held?
Q: What do you mean by irrational or illogical belief in God, and is it truly irrational to hold that belief?
The hosts argue that belief in God is not irrational or illogical and, when properly articulated, has substantial philosophical and historical backing; questioning doesn't equate to irrationality, and one should probe what the caller means by 'irrational' to avoid circular reasoning.
How Right Do I Need to Be About Theology to Enter the Kingdom?
Q: How should parents handle baptizing a child with intellectual disability who cannot grasp atonement concepts?
Approach with a simple, childlike explanation of salvation, focus on trust in Jesus, and allow baptism as an expression of faith consistent with the child's capacity, recognizing that Jesus can save beyond theoretical understanding; the call is to trust Christ rather than perfect cognitive comprehension.
How Right Do I Need to Be About Theology to Enter the Kingdom?
Q: What should be done when someone with cognitive challenges wants to be baptized but cannot fully articulate salvific concepts?
Affirm the person's desire to follow Christ, emphasize baptism as obedience and belonging to the body of Christ, and assess the heart and observable commitment rather than requiring perfect doctrinal articulation; baptism may be appropriate if it reflects repentance and faith, even if understanding is imperfect.
How Right Do I Need to Be About Theology to Enter the Kingdom?
Q: How, quote, right do I need to be to enter the kingdom?
The speakers explain that salvation rests on recognizing God as the creator, acknowledging humanity's guilt, and trusting in Jesus as the rescuer who died for sins; while doctrinal precision matters, basic faith in Christ is sufficient for salvation, with ongoing growth in understanding encouraged.
Are You About to Tell Me You Know the One and Only True Denomination on Earth?
Q: How can a person know they are going to heaven?
Because salvation is offered through Jesus's mercy and grace, and those who trust in Him receive forgiveness and eternal life, not through their own works.
