The more you know about God, the more you learn about you. And people. And the world around you. How can we believe that, though? Should we blindly believe the Bible is true because it claims to be the inspired word of God? Does God expect us to just take His word for it, or does He provide tangible proof from outside sources? As we’ve seen in episodes 24, 25, 26 and 27, God provides an abundance of proof in the way of prophetic prophecies, historical reco...2023-10-1414 minRISE from Stuck | Trust God, Who Am I, Personal Development, Set Goals, Renew Your Mind, Be Strong and CourageousRISE from Stuck | Trust God, Who Am I, Personal Development, Set Goals, Renew Your Mind, Be Strong and Courageous027 // Medical Facts that Help Prove the Bible is True (Why Believe the Bible series, part 4)Welcome to the fourth episode in the Why Believe the Bible series taught by my awesome dad Harry Schaefer. The underlying premise of this Why Believe the Bible series is that we can verify the truth of the Bible by looking to outside sources such as the historical record to see if what’s in the historical record aligns with scripture. And we find that it does. In episodes 23, 24, and 25, we looked at ways prophetic prophecies and archeological findings prove the Bible is true. Today, we’ll look into an interesting outside source by exploring the realm of m...2023-10-1413 minRISE from Stuck | Trust God, Who Am I, Personal Development, Set Goals, Renew Your Mind, Be Strong and CourageousRISE from Stuck | Trust God, Who Am I, Personal Development, Set Goals, Renew Your Mind, Be Strong and Courageous026 // 3 Reasons to Believe the Bible (Why Believe the Bible Series, Part 3)Have you ever believed something but didn’t have any practical evidence to prove your belief was true? Well, until the last century or so, Christians had to endure criticism for believing the Bible even though the historical or archeological record could not find any proof that the Hitites or two significant leaders mentioned in the Bible existed.  But thanks to some cool discoveries you’ll learn about in today’s episode, those critics have been silenced. Let’s dive in to explore three evidence-based reasons to believe the Bible is true.

In episode 24, we learned that one way to confirm the truth of any book, including the Bible, is to compare it to outside sources. We take what’s written, compare it to known facts, and see if it matches. If it lines up, it’s true. The Bible lines up with known facts, so it can be trusted as a source of truth. And two, we can use predictive prophecy. Men inspired by God wrote amazingly accurate prophecies, and...2023-10-0517 minRISE from Stuck | Trust God, Who Am I, Personal Development, Set Goals, Renew Your Mind, Be Strong and CourageousRISE from Stuck | Trust God, Who Am I, Personal Development, Set Goals, Renew Your Mind, Be Strong and Courageous024 // Is the Bible True?
