    This podcast portrays a very logical, well reasoned argument for the existence and informed belief in the Christian God. It is entertaining as well as very cogent philosophical and historical commentary of the Christian faith.

    Worth listening!

What If Jesus Is Just One More Myth? Inside a Homicide Detective's Spiritual Crime Scene
Q: How do you distinguish belief in versus belief that when evaluating faith claims?

Q: What does the Bible say about abortion?
