Here are just some of the issues discussed in this timely and important conversation:What is Gender Dysphoria?Should Christians use preferred pronouns?What are the stages of gender transition?Why are other countires banning gender transition surgeries?How should churches and pastors respond?What is the impact of social media and culture on gender confusion?How should parents respond?How can we recover a biblical vision for the body as God's good design?Why are corporations and companies supporting Trans ideologies?Why we need to listen to the testimonies of "Detransitioners."What does a biblical and compassionate response look like?Why we need to have the courage to say what needs to be said so others will have courage too“A generation of young women and girls have been swept away by the current of gender ideology, and we are only beginning to see its effects. Behind the headlines, social media campaigns, and political agendas are vulnerable, confused, and often hurting adolescents searching for what it means to be a woman. Only when we confront dominant cultural beliefs with the whole-person vision for humanity in God’s image can we hope to turn the tide." - Katie McCoy, Ph.D.Get your copy of To Be a Woman: The Confusion Over Female Identity and How Christians Can Respond by Katie McCoyLearn more about Katie McCoy at www.blondeorthodoxy.com

To Be a Woman with Katie McCoy

Kristen Waggoner

The great abolitionist Frederick Douglass once observed "Liberty is meaningless where the right to utter one's thoughts and opinions cease to exist. That, of all rights, is the dread of tyrants. It is the right which they first of all strike down. They know its power."Free speech has the power to reveal the truth, expose lies, win hearts, and even change the course of history. And yet, in our current culture, freedom of speech is under attack. So what is free speech, and why does it matter for everyone? What would be the consequence if we lost it?In this episode of the podcast, Jonathan sits down for an excellent conversation with the CEO, President, and General Counsel of Alliance Defending Freedom, Kristen Waggoner.

David Mishkin

What are the most important prophecies that point to Jesus the Messiah? What we see are ancient prophecies that anticipate the coming of Jesus predicted hundreds of years before these events actually took place. And in this fascinating conversation between Jonathan Morrow and Dr. David Mishkin we discuss some of the most important prophecies about Jesus the Messiah, as well as the importance of understanding the Jewish cultural background. To better grasp, understand and apply the passages that deal with the coming, life, and ministry of Jesus.It is no longer a novelty to say that Jesus was a Jew. The term “Jewish Roots” has become a buzzword in modern day language. What does the Jewishness of Jesus actually mean and why is it important? Dr. David Mishkin’s work in A Handbook on the Jewish Roots of the Christian Faith addresses those questions. In the companion Handbook on the Jewish Roots of the Gospels surveys the historical, theological, and practical issues that arise when the Gospels are read as Jewish literature. The Jewish context of Jesus and his movement is better understood today thanks to archaeology, the ongoing publication of ancient texts, and changes in the way scholars think about Jewish society in late antiquity. In case you missed the episode on important archaeological discoveries confirming the existence and ministry of Jesus, you can listen here. Dr. David Mishkin  serves on the faculty of Israel College of the Bible in Netanya, Israel.

How Do I Talk to People Who Believe Differently Than Me? with Alan Shlemon

Frank Turek

What if atheism is not the most reasonable position after all? In this interview with author and apologist Dr. Frank Turek, we talk about how atheists actually steal from the Christian worldview to make their case against the God they don’t believe in. We will also discuss how the existence of evil actually points us in the direction of God and explore how to talk to people who think science has disproven God. And much more! Don’t miss this episode of the Impact 360 Institute podcast.

How Atheists Are Stealing From God: An Interview with Frank Turek

Bruce Ashford

What does it mean to be an "American Christian"? How does Christianity relate to politics? In an age where public discourse is so toxic, should Christians avoid politics altogether? Should Christians just preach the gospel and leave politics alone? In the United States, we're just months away from an election year. There's no question that in 2019 our public discourse can be really toxic, and it's becoming increasingly difficult to be faithfully Christian in the political realm in a secular age. It's likely that in a topic that's loaded with hot-button issues, you've had some of the same questions listed above. So what do we do about this? In this episode of the podcast, Jonathan is joined by Dr. Bruce Ashford, author of the new book Letters to an American Christian. They'll answers these questions, as well as discuss how Christianity speaks to various hot-button issues, whether some issues are more important than others, what it means to balance patriotism with the fact that we are Kingdom citizens, Scriptural passages that help us build a solid theology of political engagement, and how the Bible helps us speak a good word into a difficult moment in American politics. Dr. Bruce Ashford is Provost and Dean of Faculty at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary where he also serves as Professor of Theology and Culture. He is a Senior Fellow in Public Theology at the Kirby Laing Institute for Christian Ethics, and a Research Fellow at the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission. He is the author of several books including *Letters to an American Christian*, One Nation Under God: A Christian Hope for American Politics, and Every Square Inch: An Introduction to Cultural Engagement for Christians. You can find more resources from Dr. Ashford online at BruceAshford.net, and follow him on Twitter here.

How Can a Loving God Send People to Hell? with Frank Turek

Stephen C. Meyer

What is theistic evolution? Is it a good idea or a bad idea? Why should Christians care about this, and how do we think critically about it? Does the evidence point to an intelligent designer? And if so, where should we start? In our recent study with the Barna Group, we found that about half of churchgoing teens say that "the church seems to reject much of what science tells us." Many students in the next generation think that there simply is no scientific evidence for God, and many will point to the Darwinian theory of evolution to explain the origin of life.  But what about the idea of theistic evolution that's becoming increasingly popular? Did God use evolutionary mechanisms to produce all of life? In this episode of the podcast, Jonathan talks with Dr. Stephen Meyer of the Discovery Institute to answer these questions and more as they discuss the scientific, philosophical, and theological problems with this view, the compelling evidence for intelligent design, what pieces of evidence to bring to the conversation first, and why it's important for students to understand that science and faith are not at odds. Dr. Stephen C. Meyer directs the Center for Science and Culture at the Discovery Institute in Seattle, WA and holds a Ph.D. in the philosophy of science from the University of Cambridge. Dr. Meyer is the author of Darwin’s Doubt: The Explosive Origin of Animal Life and the Case for Intelligent Design, Signature in the Cell: DNA and the Evidence for Intelligent Design, the forthcoming The Return of the God Hypothesis: Compelling Scientific Evidence for the Existence of God and is an editor of Theistic Evolution: A Scientific, Philosophical, and Theological Critique. You can find Dr. Meyer's work and other excellent resources at Discovery.org.

Is Theistic Evolution a Good Idea for Christians? with Dr. Stephen C. Meyer

Should Christians embrace evolution? Where is the cultural conversation at right now when it comes to evolution? Is our "all-or-nothing" approach to teaching young people about evolution actually hindering them from making it through their college years with a strong faith?

What Should Christians Really Believe About Evolution?

Is intelligent design undeniable?  Can evolution explain the origin and complexity of life?  How do we make the case for design?  Is there such thing as common sense science? Are humans just cosmic accidents? Where did Charles Darwin go wrong? What is Neo-Darwinism?  In this podcast Jonathan Morrow will explore these questions and more with author and researcher Dr. Douglas Axe. Dr. Douglas Axe explains one of the ways design intuition has really triumphed over the Darwin’s evolutionary story, “These extraordinary improbabilities of the coincidence you would need for accidental processes to do something that looks brilliant.  Accidental causes are not brilliant they are stupid.  So, for a stupid process to do something that makes it look like a genius is a coincidence and it’s an extreme coincidence.” Dr. Douglas Axe, author of the book Undeniable, is the director of Biologic Institute. His research uses both experiments and computer simulations to examine the functional and structural constraints on the evolution of proteins and protein systems. After a Caltech PhD he held postdoctoral and research scientist positions at the University of Cambridge, the Cambridge Medical Research Council Centre, and the Babraham Institute in Cambridge. His work and ideas have been featured in many scientific journals, including the Journal of Molecular Biology, the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, and Nature, and in such books as Signature in the Cell and Darwin’s Doubt by Stephen Meyer and Life’s Solution by Simon Conway Morris.

What happens when comedians Stephen Colbert and Ricky Gervais debate atheism on the late show? Great TV! It’s also an awesome opportunity to better understand what you believe and why you believe it. In this episode, we will analyze some of the slogans and soundbites that came up between atheist comedian Ricky Gervais and Stephen Colbert on the Late Show. We’ll explore questions like: Can you prove God exists? Why is there something rather than nothing? Is Atheism the rational starting point for the conversation about God? And more…

Stephen Colbert & Ricky Gervais Discuss Atheism on the Late Show: 3 Quick Worldview Observations

How should Christians think about controversial issues like transgenderism, homosexuality, euthanasia, or abortion?  How should we respond to popular slogans like "gender is just a social construct”  or "my body, my choice"? In response to these issues,  what does true compassion look like? What does the Christian worldview have to offer here? Many of the hot button issues of our cultural moment deal with issues of the human body. However, it seems that often times many people are content to settle for slogans and sayings without thinking deeply about their hurtful real-world implications. As Christians, how do we engage these topics that are controversial, but deeply important? This week on the podcast, join Jonathan sits down with Nancy Pearcey to discuss her new book, Love Thy Body: Answering Hard Questions About Life and Sexuality. Join Jonathan and Nancy as they answer these questions as well as discuss why it's important to understand the fact/value split, answering popular ideas like critical theory and intersectionality, and how to engage these issues while treating others with dignity and respect. Nancy Pearcey is a professor and scholar in residence at Houston Baptist University, a fellow at the Discovery Institute’s Center for Science and Culture, and the editor at large of The Pearcey Report. She is the author of several books including the excellent Total Truth, Finding Truth, Saving Leonardo, and the book we talked about today, Love Thy Body. You can follow Nancy on Twitter here.
