  • 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.

“Christians Care More About Ideology than People”
Q: Do you think we enjoy freedom in America because Christians are more civilized or because our Constitution doesn't allow Christians to enforce laws like in Saudi Arabia?
The Constitution is grounded in the Christian worldview, which has shaped individual rights and freedoms in Western culture.
“Christians Care More About Ideology than People”
Q: Can you respond to the critique that Christians care more about ideology than people?
Many believers prioritize truth and genuinely care about conveying it, seeing ideology as vital for loving others adequately.
Is “God the Father” a Sexist Term That Demeans Women?
Q: How can we respond to the critique that, God the Father is a sexist term that demeans women?
Koukl discusses the importance and positive aspects of fatherhood and challenges the notion that calling God 'Father' is inherently sexist, arguing that such characterizations can be a manufactured complaint.
If We Don’t Need to Learn to Hear God’s Voice, How Do You Explain These Verses?
Q: Why are there men who don't perceive his voice in Job 33, 14?
Koukl interprets that the verse isn't saying people aren't hearing it, but rather they are hearing it in a different way; God's communication can happen through dreams and visions, not just audible voices.
When Is It Time to Walk Away from a Conversation?
Q: How do you discern when it's time to walk away from a conversation?
It's appropriate to walk away when the other person isn't hearing you, or if you can't find any connection with them as a human being.
