A Call to Rise Up: 4 Areas for Active Christian Living
What does it look like to move from passive faith to active Christian living?
In the last year, many prominent Christian leaders have gone on to be with the Lord. The question remains: Who will rise up and courageously take their place?
As the royal priesthood of believers, we are all called to be ambassadors for Christ, participating in the ministry of reconciliation.
This inspiring episode will challenge you to examine your own life and actions and ask how you might put aside passivity to actively live out your Christian faith. Join us as we discuss four areas where we can all rise up and take action: in ourselves, in our families, in our churches, and in our communities.

Making the Case for Christianity, with Dan Ermutlu
The truth of Christianity is perhaps best supported by the cumulative case approach, which combines multiple lines of evidence to make a strong case that the Christian worldview offers the best explanation for the way things are. My guest in this episode, Dan Ermutlu, teaches a six-week apologetics course at his church, where he lays out much of this cumulative-case evidence. In this extended-length episode, Dan walks us through the structure of his course and explains some of the powerful arguments for the existence of God and the truth of Christianity. Can you cram a six-week apologetics course into one podcast episode? Not even close! ...But we certainly tried!

MORE Ways to Talk About God When You Can't Talk About God
How can you be salt and light to people who don't want to hear about God or where you're not able to share your faith? In this long overdue follow-up to Episode 21 "How Do You Talk About God When You Can't Talk About God? (https://spotifycreators-web.app.link/e/fyX6xpGVjWb)," we offer MORE strategies for talking "around" God, using logic and reason. Join us as we discuss practical and relational ways to work on a person's plausibility structure, create "favourable conditions for the reception of the gospel," and lay the philosophical groundwork and preconditions necessary for holding a Christian worldview.
