The truth is an interesting thing. Recently I had...i'm not sure, more than a cold less than pneumonia? Anyway, I used my go to help in times of need like that, Fisherman's Friend extra strong lozenges. They are amazing. However, they are NASTY. They are hard to take, but they work. In this podcast today we'll talk about the truth and how it is hard to take, but it works if you love it and take heed unto it.

about common sense being dead s4e226
Friday Dec 01, 2023
Friday Dec 01, 2023
This episode is born out of concern for behavior I witness on social media. It is evident that folk have been robbed of the ability to think critically and reason logically. It seems that echo chambers, pet ideologies, and participation trophies have robbed from the masses of even the similitude of common sense. Its like we can't even fake it anymore. I do have hope. All is not lost. But the problem is still pervasive. I hope you will tune in and take a listen as we discuss this issue.

about not needing the Holy Spirit to understand God’s Word s5e225
Thursday Nov 30, 2023
Thursday Nov 30, 2023
So controversial is this topic that it blows my mind. In this episode I attempt to make the case that man can understand the Bible. I mean, don't you think the God could write a book it does not take a miracle to understand? Tune in and take note, especially if you believe in the whole "Illumination of Scripture" doctrine.

Tuesday Nov 28, 2023
Tuesday Nov 28, 2023
Welcome Eric Lyons from Apologetics Press on the show to talk about alleged Bible contradictions. This is a topic that is near and dear to our hearts. Higher textual critics levy all kinds of accusations at God's Word. Do any of them measure up? Tune in and let us know what you think. Also, if you think the Bible contradicts itself tune in and drop your most damning evidence in the comments section and we'll see if we can not debunk it.
