    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.

Is It a Sin to Feel Let Down by God?
Q: Is it a sin to feel let down by God?
Feeling let down can indicate a lack of trust in God's character, but it's a common human experience. While technically it might be considered a sin, it's understandable and doesn't have to lead to condemnation.
Can You Provide Verifiable, Non-Religious Evidence That a Supernatural Jesus Existed?
Q: Could you please provide verifiable non-religious evidence that a supernatural Jesus actually existed?
The question fails to acknowledge the historical accounts and evidence surrounding Jesus, framing a bias that dismisses any evidence coming from those who were believers.
Is 1 Corinthians 12:3 a Black-and-White Tool for Discernment?
Q: How do I have a relationship with Him?
Start with simple, practical steps like prayer and reading the Bible regularly, understanding that building this relationship takes time and perseverance.
What Are Some Good Ways to Start a Conversation About God with Family Members?
Q: How can I keep from becoming so emotional when discussing faith issues with my extended family?
It's understandable to feel emotional. Remind yourself that you care, not to take their reactions personally, and focus on clarity rather than agreement in the conversations.
Could the Writers of Scripture Have Been Influenced by Their Fallen Nature?
Q: How do I defend sola scriptura to my Roman Catholic family members in light of passages they cite like 1 Thessalonians 2.13 and 2 Thessalonians 2.15?
They would have to show that there is a legitimate reason to take sacred tradition as authoritative and why their traditions hold the same weight as scripture.
