CC023: The Historical Case for the Resurrection of Jesus (Part 1 of 5)
June 03, 2019 10:00 - 57 minutes - 131 MBDid you know that Christianity is true? No, I mean like it’s actually true. It’s not just something that people believe. You know, I say that a lot, but today on the podcast we’re going to prove that. The next five episodes feature a discussion between myself, Dr. Calum Miller, and Dr. Max Baker-Hytch on the historical case for the Resurrection of Jesus. Dr. Miller has been on the podcast before. He and I discussed the prior probability of the Resurrection. Super interesting exchange of idea...
CC022: A New Cumulative Case for God's Existence
April 01, 2019 13:02 - 47 minutes - 108 MBI was browsing Facebook the other day (as I often do) and came across a paper that looked really interesting. It was titled: "From a Cosmic Fine-Tuner to a Perfect Being." That caught my attention immediately because Fine-Tuning Arguments have traditionally been thought of as to only get us to a cosmic designer, not all the way to God (classically conceived). After reading the paper, I found it so interesting that I contacted the author, Justin Mooney, and invited him on for an interview. Thi...
CC021: If God Does Not Exist, Why Be a Moral Person?
March 04, 2019 11:00 - 1 hour - 168 MBIn this episode, I interview Dr. Anne Jeffrey on whether we'd have any reason to do what's morally right if God did not exist.

CC020: Dealing with Doubt with Dr. Bobby Conway
February 18, 2019 10:00 - 57 minutes - 131 MBThe 20th episode of the podcast is all about dealing with doubt. Is doubt a sin? How can people with a public platform deal with doubt? What does the Bible say about doubt? Dr. Bobby Conway, author of Doubting Toward Faith, joins us to discuss these questions and more.

CC019: The Prior Probability of the Resurrection with Dr. Calum Miller (Part 2)
February 04, 2019 11:00 - 46 minutes - 107 MBIn episode 19, Dr. Calum Miller and I complete our discussion of the Prior Probability of the Resurrection. Episode 18 laid a lot of groundwork for 19. Go listen to it if you haven't! In episode 19, we get a real understanding of what it takes to form an accurate prior probability for Jesus' Resurrection. We address several objections like, "dead people tend to stay dead, so in all likelihood, Jesus stayed dead too, " "miracles almost never happen, so the Resurrection probably didn’t happen,"...
CC018: The Prior Probability of the Resurrection with Dr. Calum Miller (Part 1)
January 21, 2019 11:00 - 40 minutes - 93.4 MBOver the next two episodes, Dr. Calum Miller and I discuss the Prior Probability of the Resurrection. "What the heck is that?" you might be asking yourself. Skeptical arguments against the resurrection of Jesus, for example, the objection that dead people usually stay dead or that miracles never happen, are really arguments that Jesus’ resurrection is supremely unlikely before we look at any of the evidence. Episodes 18 and 19 take these objections to task. Is Jesus' Resurrection all that unl...
CC017: Exploring the Contingency Argument with Dr. Josh Rasmussen (Part 4)
January 07, 2019 11:00 - 40 minutes - 91.7 MBWe’ve come to the end. Not the end of Capturing Christianity, but to the end of our 4-part series on the contingency argument. As mentioned, we’re wrapping up our 4-part series on the argument from contingency which in my mind is the strongest argument for God’s existence. Please go back and listen to the previous 3 parts. Don’t start at this one. It’s not going to make any sense. The argument from contingency has two stages. Stage 1 is about establishing that a necessary being exists, and St...
CC016: Exploring the Contingency Argument with Dr. Josh Rasmussen (Part 3)
December 31, 2018 11:00 - 50 minutes - 116 MBAfter we finished recording this 4-part series, I had the sense that this was going to be one of the most important things we’ve ever done. Actually, I had that sense before we even recorded. We’re in the middle of a 4-part series on the argument from contingency. It’s the absolute best argument for God’s existence. Well at least in the mind of one lowly photographer. I really like it. Makes a lot of sense, I know of very few good objections to it. Each episode I mention that the contingency...
CC015: Exploring the Contingency Argument with Dr. Josh Rasmussen (Part 2)
December 24, 2018 11:00 - 56 minutes - 130 MBIn Part 2 of our series on the contingency argument, Dr. Rasmussen and I discuss various objections to principles of explanation. This is a continuation of our discussion of Stage 1. The next two episodes move on to discussing Stage 2. Make sure to listen to episode 14 before this one!

CC014: Exploring the Contingency Argument with Dr. Josh Rasmussen (Part 1)
December 17, 2018 11:00 - 42 minutes - 98 MBThe argument from contingency is my favorite argument for God’s existence. Hands down. And to kick this series off, which is actually our first 4-parter, I’ve invited Dr. Josh Rasmussen. He is the foremost expert in the world on this argument. Over the past year that we’ve been corresponding, he’s also grown to be a great friend and mentor. I can’t say enough about him. If I were still charismatic, I would say that I know in my heart of hearts (ie: my "knower") that this series will stand as...

CC012: Is Pascal's Wager Sound? with Dr. Michael Rota (Part 1)
November 12, 2018 13:32 - 45 minutes - 105 MBEpisode 12 kicks off a short, 2-part series on Pascal's Wager. I remember hearing the wager years ago thinking to myself it sounded pretty reasonable. If Christianity is true, there's tons to gain, and if it's false, very little to lose. That seems to make it pretty rational to commit to God. It wasn't until years later that I heard good objections to the Wager--the kind of objections that really made me doubt its validity. Fortunately for us, we have an expert on Pascal's Wager, Dr. Michael...

Toward the end he gives two arguments for Dualism (roughly the idea that we humans are composed of two substances, one physical and one non-physical). Really interesting interview!
