Tim and Josh are joined by Kurt Jaros to explore the recent blow up concerning a commencement speech delivered by Kansas City Chiefs Kicker Harrison Butker at St. Benedictine College in the spring of 2024.
Did Butker outkick his coverage?
Were the things he said sexist, homophobic, and misogynistic?
How should Christians think of the topics Butker covered and what do we say to those offended by his speech?

One of my favorite arguments for the existence of God is the moral argument. To say that the moral argument has caused a stir in the waters of philosophy would be a gross understatement. The syllogism has made such an impact that committed atheists debate amongst themselves as to which premise they ought to reject. The popular version of the moral argument can be formulated like this:
If God does not exist, objective moral values and duties do not exist. Objective moral values and duties do exist. Therefore, God exists.Although I believe that this version of the argument is sound, in order to counter objections by atheist philosophers like Wielenberg, I often share modified versions of the argument that do not focus on objective moral values but on objective purpose. List to this to learn how one can modify and improve the moral argument when discussing with atheists to show how faith in God can be reasonable!

On this episode Josh dives into Trump's Bible campaign, an apologetic from the Cross and whether or not the phrase Christ is King is anti-Semitic. For the main thing he tackles the Red Pill culture's logic concerning marriage and how we as Christian ought to respond.

Josh covered the Christ is King conversation from a very specific angle - there were comments Andrew Klavan made, seemingly indicating that Christians ought not proselytize people like Ben Shapiro and Jordan Peterson with which Josh does not agree but chose not to cover due to time constraints for this episode. For good analysis on that topic be sure to tune in to @trinityradioextra7536 's video (linked below) and @TheChurchSplit 's video also linked below.

In this episode, together with Dr. John DePoe, we explore the relationship between rationality and libertarian freedom. Can rationality fully flourish in the absence of libertarian freedom? Is freedom an essential catalyst for logical thinking and informed decision-making? We will address fundamental questions about the human mind and libertarian freedom. In addition, we'll answer some objections that stand against this idea. So, if you are interested and want to know more about it, join us!

Alistair Begg recently made evangelical headlines with some advice he gave to a grandmother on attending her grandson's wedding to a transgender person. The response has been mixed to say the least. Some supporting, others condemning, but it seems we've lost the ability to disagree and hash out why we disagree in the evangelical realm. In this episode Josh invites Brady Cone on to discuss the Begg situation, how to disagree amicably, and whether Begg's advice was wrong or right.

In the first season of the Freethinking Podcast, Tim and I are recapping his debate with James White, a prominent Calvinist theologian. This debate happened in February of 2022, but this is our chance to recap the overall debate on the podcast.
In this episode, we give a little background on how this debate came to be, as well as the differing definitions of biblical used by Tim and Dr. White. Tim also defines a few of his terms that he used throughout the debate.
