Wokeness Is Alive and Well—Here’s How Scripture Confronts It
Is “wokeness” really dead? Apologist Neil Shenvi is here to talk about the growing influence of critical theory in culture, the church, and the next generation. They discuss why wokeness isn’t just a passing trend but a worldview rooted in a new kind of moral framework one that’s shaping how young people think about justice, identity, and truth. Rising LGBTQ+ identification rates and debates about gender, oppression, and compassion, mean that Christians need to respond with both truth and grace, holding fast to biblical conviction while engaging a culture that often redefines love and justice. *Get a MASTERS IN APOLOGETICS or SCIENCE AND RELIGION at BIOLA (https://bit.ly/3LdNqKf) *USE Discount Code [SMDCERTDISC] for 25% off the BIOLA APOLOGETICS CERTIFICATE program (https://bit.ly/3AzfPFM) *See our fully online UNDERGRAD DEGREE in Bible, Theology, and Apologetics: (https://bit.ly/448STKK) FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA: Twitter: https://x.com/Sean_McDowell TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@sean_mcdowell?lang=en Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/seanmcdowell/ Website: https://seanmcdowell.org Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

Can Catholics and Protestants Agree?
In this conversation, Catholic apologist Trent Horn is here to discuss his video asking 50 Catholics their favorite argument for God. This was actually a response to my video where I asked 100 apologists their favorite arguments for God. However, today we're discussing why evangelicals and Catholics often approach apologetics differently. Whether you’re a skeptic or believer, this episode challenges how you think about the rational basis for faith.

Is it Time to Rethink Biblical Inerrancy? A Much-Needed Debate
Is there room in the church for a "flexible inerrancy," in which the Gospel writers adapted and invented sayings of Jesus according to their theological interests? For example, is it within the bounds of inerrancy to conclude that Jesus never said the words, "I thirst," although that sentiment captures his goals? These questions are at the root of a big debate within the evangelical church. And today, we have Dr. Michael Licona and Dr. John West to discuss these issues and more. Without insulting one side or the other, please let us know what you think about the ISSUES and why.

Iranian Muslims are Turning to Jesus–What's Happening?
What would it look like for revival to break out in the most restrictive places in the world? In this episode, I talk with Dr. Hormoz Shariat, a PhD in computer engineering, author of Iran’s Great Awakening, and the “Billy Graham of Iran.” Dr. Hormoz shares how he was born into Islam, lived through the Iranian Revolution, and still wrestled with questions of truth, injustice, and spiritual hunger until Christ radically changed his life. He talks about the incredible outreach to Muslims in Iran (and beyond) and why he believes Iran will someday become a "Christian nation."
