    The Biggest Problem in Islam Right Now

    10/04/2026 | 1h 7 mins.
    What is the "Islamic Dilemma," and is it really an unanswerable challenge for Islam? In this conversation, David Wood join us to discuss some of the biggest questions facing Islam today. We explore David’s journey to faith that began in prison, his friendship with the late Christian convert and apologist Nabeel Qureshi, and the main reasons many Muslims begin questioning their faith today.

    Debate Review: Is Morality Objective? Ehrman vs. McDowell

    08/04/2026 | 50 mins.
    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? Today, I'm reviewing the debate live with you!

    Is the Middle East Setting the Stage for the End Times?

    03/04/2026 | 55 mins.
    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.

    Responding to Arguments for God (Q&A with Professors)

    01/04/2026 | 1h 3 mins.
    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.

    Bart Ehrman and Sean McDowell Discuss the Moral Argument, Guilt, and the Teachings of Jesus

    27/03/2026 | 1h 3 mins.
    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?
