Is Christianity really on trial? Modern churches act as if God needs evidence presented, arguments defended, or scientific data compiled to make Him believable. But historic Lutheran theology says something radically different: the Gospel does not ask for proof, and the Holy Spirit never converts through arguments.
In this episode, we explore why Luther, Walther, and Pieper rejected modern apologetics, not because Christianity is weak, but because reason is fallen and cannot produce saving faith. We’ll see how:
Faith is not an intellectual conclusion.
Reason is not spiritually neutral.
Evidence cannot raise the spiritually dead.
The Word itself creates faith without our defense.
Instead of defending God, we proclaim Him. Christ does the defending.
The Gospel needs preachers, not lawyers.
📌 “Faith comes by hearing… not arguing.”
—Romans 10:17
