Is what’s happening in the Middle East connected to biblical prophecy? I'm sitting down with Mark Hitchcock to discuss the role of Iran (ancient Persia), Israel, and the end times. Together, we examine key passages from Daniel, Isaiah, and Ezekiel, consider whether events today could relate to Ezekiel 38, and talk about how to approach biblical prophecy with wisdom, clarity, and humility.

In this live Q&A with professors, we tackle the toughest "deal-breaker" questions for the existence of God, focusing on the problem of divine hiddenness and the reality of religious hypocrisy. Rather than dodging the hard hits, we argue that God provides enough evidence for those who seek Him without being so overwhelming that He destroys human freedom, while also explaining why a church full of "fallen" people actually proves the need for an objective moral savior. From debunking the idea that science and math are "accidental" to revisiting Nietzsche’s warning about the terrifying cost of killing God, this session is a high-speed intellectual autopsy of the six strongest arguments for a creator.

Did the teachings of Jesus actually transform the moral conscience of the West? And if they did… does that point to objective moral truth or just cultural evolution? Today, I sat down with Bart Ehrman to explore one of the most important questions in philosophy and faith: Is morality objective or is it simply a product of human development over time?

Are the arguments for God’s existence still standing… or have they been defeated? After more than four decades of debates, writings, and public discussions, Dr. William Lane Craig offers a fascinating assessment of where the conversation stands today and why belief in God is far from intellectually obsolete. In this in-depth conversation with Sean McDowell, Dr. Craig walks through six major arguments for the existence of God, explaining why he believes they are not only still relevant—but stronger than ever when taken together.

Why are we hearing so many stories of Christian artists, pastors, apologists, and influencers who either abandon the faith or fail morally? Is something broken in Christian celebrity culture? And is there still hope for those who fall? Today, I have John James, founding member and former lead singer of the Newsboys, to talk about his new book: Newsboy, the failures and fractures inside Christian platform culture, and the redemption God brought through his lowest moments.

Is hell eternal conscious punishment or does the Bible teach that the wicked will ultimately be destroyed? This is one of the most debated theological questions among Christians today. Today, we have two leading scholars to explore the biblical case for two different views of hell: eternal conscious punishment and conditional immortality (annihilationism). Together they examine key passages from both the Old and New Testaments and covers major texts such as Daniel 12, Matthew 25, Mark 9, Luke 16, 2 Thessalonians 1, and Revelation 14–20, along with the historical views of the church and the philosophical and pastoral implications of each position.

We'll also be back Tuesday, March 10 at 4:30 PST LIVE to follow up on questions about hell!

Did the people named in the Bible actually exist? In this episode, archaeologist Dr. Titus Kennedy joins me to walk through how archaeology confirms the existence of ten individuals mentioned in Scripture. Dr. Kennedy lays out his criteria for evaluating archaeology discoveries and applies his careful criteria to figures in both the OT and NT. We cover evidence connected to central figures like King David, Ahab, Isaiah, and Belshazzar, as well as obscure figures like Berenice. Let us know what you think!
