The 8:32 Podcast#21: The Gospel Doesn’t Need Our Finishing TouchesQuestionsDo you ever feel like you have to make the truth more exciting and flashy for people to listen to you? Sometimes I struggle with that! That’s why I wanted to share some things I learned recently from Kevin DeYoung’s book: “The (Not-So-Secret) Secret to Reaching the Next Generation.” He reminds us that faithfulness and consistency, unconditional love for the lost, and passionate declaration of who Jesus is are the best tools to draw people to Jesus. People don’t want the newest, trendiest thing (they can find that plenty of places). People want...

Why does free will bring about brokenness? What about natural disasters and sickness - does God send those? How do we approach this question with someone who is hurting?

The Bible says we should be prepared to defend our hope (1 Peter 3:15), but how? What if we don’t have a masters in theology? What if we’re the kind of person who thinks of what they actually should have said hours after the conversation ends? (that’s literally me by the way…) If that’s you too, I hope this episode encourages you! God CAN and WILL use our flawed but sincere attempts to share the good news with the lost.

2024-10-0738 minThe 8:32 Podcast#8: Dr. David Filson Part 1 | Why do we believe that what the Bible says is true?QuestionsThis Bible that you hold in your hands—the one with 66 books, the one in English, the one that contains all that Christians believe to be true—how did it come to be what it is today? How did they determine which books to include, and who made those decisions? Do we have manuscript copies like we do for any other historical record? Can we really trust it to be both an accurate historical account and inspired by God? (SPOILER ALERT: YES!!!) I know I have so many questions! You too? Give this one a lis...

That’s what me and my dad get to talk about in this episode along with the broader question: how does the gospel and our faith change the way we work?
