  • 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.

How Can I Remain Humble and Teachable?
Q: How do you go into those situations? Is there a specific way that you look at it or think about it, that you are taking notes no matter where you are?
Koukl says note-taking keeps him focused and helps him learn and remember material. When working with colleagues, he also notes possible improvements and ideas prompted by what he hears.
How Can I Remain Humble and Teachable?
Q: Can you please provide tips on how to remain humble and teachable considering this pastor is probably younger and less experienced than you?
Greg Koukl recommends taking the lower station: do not exalt yourself, raise others up, accept correction, apologize when wrong, and listen for useful insight even when criticism is poorly delivered.
What Work Has to Be Done to Write a Book, an Article, or an In-Person Talk?
Q: Do you have anything before we close, Greg, to say about the actual process of speaking?
Koukl recommends making points memorable with stories and surprise, speaking directly to the audience when possible, and using notes only when needed. He also recommends Made to Stick for techniques to help spoken material stay with listeners.
What Work Has to Be Done to Write a Book, an Article, or an In-Person Talk?
Q: Would Greg mind pulling back the curtain a bit and talking about all the behind-the-scenes work that has to be done to write a book, an article, or an in-person talk?
Koukl explains that he develops a clear structure, builds from material he has already written or taught, and revises repeatedly. He pays attention to voice, rhythm, word choice, and editing, while Hall adds advice about staying focused, capturing ideas, and writing while they are fresh.
Aren’t God’s Moral Laws Merely Subjective If He Can Command Us to Break Them?
Q: If Paul Copan contrasts the Torah with barbaric Near Eastern laws to show moral improvement, does that justify bad laws by comparing them with worse ones?
The hosts say the comparison is meant to show that the law regulated harmful circumstances and moved society toward something better, not that it represented a moral ideal. They point to Jesus' account of divorce laws and the Mosaic regulations governing servants as examples.
