Ep. 26 | The True-Truth
Tuesday Jun 18, 2019
Tuesday Jun 18, 2019
The concept of "true-truth" was introduced and explained by Francis Schaeffer in the 1970s to provide a foundation for discussion and dialogue with the "modern-man." Today, we recognize that the "modern-man" is really an individual who has been shaped by post-modern philosophies, especially deconstructionism and Hegelian dialectic theory.
How do these philosophies play out in culture? Most people can't identify the big idea, but they can see the end result - current marketing campaigns such as "You do you" are a perfect example of deconstructionism.
What does this mean for the average believer or unbeliever? The discussion focuses on presuppositions and truth foundations and their practice in everyday life.

Ep. 19 | What Does It Mean When God Hardens Someone's Heart?
Monday Apr 15, 2019
Monday Apr 15, 2019
One of the most challenging aspects of theology to understand is a concept found both in Exodus and in Romans: What does it mean when God says He hardens someone's heart?
In this episode, I spend time developing the Biblical terms "heart" and "harden" and then discuss both human responsibility and the divine will in the process of hardening.
After completing this study, what struck me most is this: It's not a wonder that God hardens anyone's heart, but rather, that God has mercy on anyone, for our hearts are desperately wicked and deserving of all the punishment God could mete out!
