Is Jesus Coming Soon? John Lennox on Revelation and the End of History
What is the evidence Jesus is coming soon? What about the Millennium, the antichrist, and the "mark of the beast"? In this episode, Dr. John Lennox joins me to discuss his newest book on Revelation: "God, AI, and the End of History." We discuss his preferred interpretation, his suggests for how to read Revelation (and how NOT to read it), and what Revelation means for today.

Why Ignoring God’s Design Is Making Us Miserable
Why is identity such a crisis in our culture right now? We’re constantly told to “live your truth,” “follow your feelings,” and “be whoever you want to be.” But what if our feelings aren’t always telling us the truth and what if real freedom is actually found somewhere else? Today, I have Dr. JP Foster, senior pastor at Faithful Central Bible Church and co-author (with Dr. Matt Williams) of the new book Finding Freedom in Jesus to discuss these "problematic" statements. The book walks through 21 key identity terms (created in Christ, restored in Christ, confident in Christ), paired with real testimonies and practical reflection questions to help truth move from head to heart.

Why I am Protestant (and You Should be Too)
What does it really mean to be Protestant? Is it simply “not Catholic,” or does it stand for a positive, historic, and biblically-rooted vision of Christianity? Today, I'm speaking with my Biola University colleague Dr. Fred Sanders. We discuss the meaning, history, and theological distinctives of Protestantism. Sanders explains why the term “Protestant” is often misunderstood, how the Reformation connects to the entire Christian tradition, and what Protestants believe about Scripture, grace, justification and good works.

Substitutionary Atonement Under Fire: William Lane Craig Refutes a New Theory
Do we need to rethink penal substitutionary atonement? According to a new popular book, the answer is a resounding YES. In his book "Lamb of the Free," Dr. Andrew R. Rillera argues against there is no such thing as substitutionary atonement in the Torah and that substitutionary atonement is both misguided and harmful. As far as I am aware, there has not been an in-depth response to this book. Dr. William Lane Craig joins me to set the record straight. READ: Atonement and the Death of Christ, by W.L.
