Christians, Evangelize. You're a Witness, Not a Lawyer.

Jesus commanded us to make disciples of all nations which means every Christian has an obligation to evangelize But is that really so different from what other religions do In this episode we compare Christianity's evangelism to the spread of Buddhism and Islam and make the case that only one of them comes without coercion Islam spread largely by the sword and a tax on those who refused to convert while Christianity has always come with an invitation not a threat We trace the roots of evangelism all the way back to Genesis and Abraham being a light unto the [... more]

Our Judgment Is Sealed — So What's Left to Talk About?

Does God Judge His Own People Too?

Communion Started at the First Passover

We know what communion is but why the bread why the cup why this specifically In this episode we go deeper into yesterday's conversation and trace communion all the way back to its origins the very first Passover when God told the Hebrews to eat standing up belts fastened ready to run for their lives We work through why God commanded that same meal to be repeated every single generation not just to remember what happened but so that each person would see themselves as if they personally were there that night Dr Abidan Shah connects that idea to his [... more]

Jesus Rewrote the Passover

Believers have disagreed on the form and function of the Lord's Supper for centuries some churches don't even practice it anymore In this episode we pick up right where yesterday's conversation on baptism left off comparing our own very different memories of communion growing up and then digging into what it actually is a symbolic act of remembrance looking back around and forward not a magical transformation of bread and juice We trace it all the way back to the Last Supper and the four cups of the traditional Passover meal and land on one of the most striking details [... more]

Is All Sin the Same to God?

We know that every sin makes us equally guilty in the eyes of God But come on some sins have to be worse than others right In this episode we tackle degrees of sin legally there's no difference between a white lie and murder In consequences the difference is enormous We work through Adam and Eve's single act of disobedience and why one sin carried such catastrophic weight using the picture of a single speck of gravy ruining an otherwise spotless white tablecloth because it's a matter of God's holiness not human proportionality We look at Jesus's own words in [... more]
