As my wife and I are on a vacation with family visiting from out of state, this episode will be a rewind of episode 19.I interview Tyler Vela about the age-old topic: Does God exist?Tyler was raised an atheist until his atheist professor in a Metaphysics class in college discussed arguments for the existence of God. The challenge of the “moral argument” caused Tyler to investigate and eventually convert to Christianity.In this interview, we raise and answer various philosophical and presuppositional arguments about the existence of God.We also consider the issue of miracles and animals that talked in the Bible.We also examine the arguments about God’s existence from the claims of the Bible itself and how to define a “fool.”Tyler

Welcome to Truthspresso Express! This is where I record an episode on my commute to or from work.In this episode of Truthspresso Express I talk about my recent exchange with an Arian on Facebook over Philippians 2:6-7. I walk through the verbs in verses 6-7 and the context of humility in verses 3-5 to show that Jesus must be fully God and fully man.I argue these two major points:Jesus is fully God with the Father, not simply an angelic creature.Jesus took on a human nature without losing His divine nature.

Welcome to Truthspresso Express! This is where I record an episode on my commute to or from work.In this episode of Truthspresso Express I discuss two articles claiming hospital pandemonium that turned out to be fabricated:A children’s hospital “hits capacity” from our favorite virus.A hospital can’t admit gunshot victims because it’s loaded with patients suffering from too much “horse dewormer.”Bad News sells–both money and fear. Are these false reports just harmless tricks or honest mistakes? What are the effects of claiming these kinds of false narratives?Sources Consulted:Katie Moore, “Children’s Mercy in Kansas City hits capacity as COVID cases continue rising in metro,” Kansas City Star, July 27, 2021.“Kentucky Hospital Says The Media Is LYING About Hospitals Being ‘Overwhelmed’ With Kids

My wife Chelsea and I address our first listener question:What does the Bible mean by the “milk” and “meat” of the Word?Three key passages mention “milk” and two of them compare it to “meat”:1 Peter 2:2-31 Corinthians 3:2Hebrews 5:12-14The listener heard these passages explained as Sunday School stories for “milk” and understanding different Greek words as “meat.”After reading these passages in their full context we think they’re really talking about maturity of conduct and avoiding unnecessary divisions. Christians who can eat “strong meat” are those who can determine right from wrong and solve problems of conflict in light of the basic principles of God’s Word.We also bring a little politics into our understanding of these passages. Mature Christians shouldn’t fall

Welcome to Truthspresso Express! This is where I record an episode on my commute to or from work.In this episode of Truthspresso Express I discuss my understanding of what Acts 22:16 means when it says “Arise and be baptized and wash away your sins.” The Greek verbs may tell a different story than we think.

My wife Chelsea and I cover a hodgepodge of three recent news events:Boosters: Two officials leave the FDA because of undue pressure from the Biden administration to rubber stamp “booster” shots of the Pfizer vaccine for children under 12 by September 20.Pineapples: Despite the President’s tragic withdrawal strategy from Afghanistan, a volunteer military veteran task force carried out “Operation Pineapple Express” to rescue over 630 Afghans targeted by the Taliban.Heartbeats: The Texas “heartbeat” law went into effect September 1, and abortion activists are treating it as political Armageddon.Chelsea and I observe the common thread of “courage” in these three situations for those who stand up for truth against enemies of life.Sources Consulted:Phil Shiver, “Top vaccine officials leave FDA amid infighting,

Welcome to Truthspresso Express! This is where I record an episode on my commute to or from work.In this episode of Truthspresso Express I discuss my understanding of what 1 Peter 3:21 means when it says “baptism also now saves us.” I taught this as part of a Sunday School lesson on 1 Peter chapter 3 years ago. I also presented this explanation in response to a Lutheran named Evan in a Facebook thread.

My wife Chelsea and I finish our two-part series on the abortion pill regimen (mifepristone and misoprostol).We trace the history of the abortion pill from when it was first approved by the FDA to the current push to distribute it to the masses by mail.The abortion industry claims the abortion pill is “safer than Tylenol.” Of course we know it’s not “safe” for the baby that’s murdered, but we show from the statistics that it’s not safe for women either. As the rate of deaths increased over the second decade, we expect deaths to skyrocket from mail-in abortions.We finish the episode by talking about our recent experience doing sidewalk messages at a Planned Parenthood.Sources Consulted:Kelly Cleland, “The FDA Should Remove
