"Every murder investigation teaches two lessons: a death lesson and a life lesson.” For decades, cold-case homicide detective J. Warner Wallace investigated the causes behind deaths and murders, chasing one lead after another as he attempted to solve the case. Several of these cases remain open, unsolved mysteries. But even those that haven't yet revealed the identity of the killer do expose the truths of human nature: what's important to us, what threatens our well-being, and what causes us to ...

Abbie Halberstadt joins the podcast to talk about a parenting method called “Gentle Parenting.” She defines it and discusses some of the unbiblical worldview assumptions that can actually prevent our kids from being able to fully understand and appreciate the gospel. Should parents practice punishment or restorative discipline? Should Christians view all emotions as valid? Has the oppressed vs. oppressed narrative made its way into our parenting? Abbie and Alisa discuss all these questions and m...

In his book, Street Smarts: Using Questions to Answer Christianity’s Toughest Challenges, Greg Koukl writes, "History is testimony to a basic fact. Human lives will be ruled by one of two fundamental forces: either truth or power. Humanity will be governed either by the physical facts of God’s world and the moral facts of his character, or by the forces that oppose those moral and physical facts.” In today’s episode, Greg discusses the chaos we see in our culture that is a direct result of a den...

Rosaria Butterfield joins the podcast to talk about some insidious lies the church is buying into. One of these lies is the idea that Christians can identify themselves as LGBTQ, even if they don’t engage in sinful behavior.

We also discuss the potential influence of side B thinking in the recent conversat...

In light of the 50th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, too many Christians do not understand the essential truths of the pro-life position, making it difficult for them to articulate a biblical worldview on issues like abortion, cloning, and embryo research. On today’s podcast, Scott Klusendorf helps us understand the intellectual grounding for the pro-life convictions that most evangelicals hold. The debate turns on one key question: What is the unborn? Scott articulates what the role of the pro-life...
