2Most people say they are Christians because they were born to Christian parents and were raised in the church. Does one's geographic location determine what they will believe about God?

In this episode of Incarnate Investigation, Jimmy Wallace (J. Warner's son) taps into his experience as a police officer to discuss our inclination to simply "follow the rules".

In this episode of the Cold-Case Christianity Broadcast, J. Warner Wallace examines the classic problem of evil and offers a cumulative case response. In this second of several related broadcasts, J. Warner examines the roles that love and character development play in helping understand why an all-powerful, all-loving God would allow evil to exist in the universe. For more information about the cumulative case for the existence of God and the problem of evil, see J. Warner's book, God's Crime Scene.
J. Warner examines the role eternity and free agency play in helping understand why an all-powerful, all-loving God would allow evil to exist in the universe. For more information about the cumulative case for the existence of God and the problem of evil, see J. Warner's book, God's Crime Scene.
What does the Bible teach about the nature of Church? Are there certain non-negotiable essentials that all of us, as Christians, must believe about the Church in order to call ourselves Christians? Are there any over-arching principles that God has given us to help us live as a community of God? J. Warner discusses the essential doctrinal truths related to the "Communion of Saints".
J. Warner Wallace examines the way in which Jesus is described by the world's other religious systems. What role does Jesus play in these belief systems and how is He characterized? If Jesus is venerated or described accurately by these world religions, shouldn't seekers examine Christianity as their primary focus?
What would we know about Jesus if we lost every possible Christian document (including the New Testament and writings of the Church Fathers)? What would the earliest unfriendly Greek, Roman, Syrian and Jewish historical documents tell us about Jesus?
J. Warner Wallace examines the popular objection that Christians are biased toward their beliefs and, therefore, cannot assess evidence fairly. Is this true? Is anyone truly free of bias and what role does this play in making decisions in the first place?
If the virgin conception of Jesus really happened, why didn't Mark or Paul say anything about it? Does their silence mean the virgin conception was a late idea added to the story of Jesus? Is there any good reason to believe Mark or Paul knew about the virgin conception, and if so, why didn't they mention it?
J. Warner Wallace begins a series on the virgin conception of Jesus. Why is the virgin conception an essential truth about Jesus in the first place? Is it necessary? How can anyone believe in such an event? Is it reasonable?
J. Warner Wallace describes the evidence for the early dating of the Gospels. Why is this issue important to those who are examining the claims of Christianity? How does early dating contribute to the reliability of the Gospel authors as eyewitnesses? What other problem does early dating resolve?
If God is the creator of everything we see in the universe, who created God? If God is all-powerful and all-loving, why does he allow people to behave badly and hurt one another?
J. Warner Wallace makes the case for the reliability of the Bible by providing five, brief, easy to articulate reasons you can trust the Christian Scripture. Have you ever been challenged to give the reason for the hope you have in Jesus? This episode will help you make the case quickly and concisely.
In this episode of the Cold-Case Christianity Broadcast, J. Warner Wallace concludes his six part mini-series summarizing material from his book, God's Crime Scene: A Cold-Case Detective Investigates the Evidence For A Divinely Created Universe. J. Warner describes the power of cumulative cases and assembles the case for God's existence. Is the existence of God reasonable given the diverse evidence in the universe? Are explanations from "inside the room" of the natural universe more reasonable than the explanation from "outside the room"?
n this episode of the Cold-Case Christianity Broadcast, J. Warner Wallace continues his six part mini-series summarizing material from his book, God's Crime Scene: A Cold-Case Detective Investigates the Evidence For A Divinely Created Universe. J. Warner describes two pieces of "moral" evidence: the existence of objective moral truth and the existence of evil and injustice. Can these two pieces of evidence "inside the room" of the universe be explained by staying "inside the room"? This simple question helps homicide detectives determine if a death scene is a crime scene. Could the same question be applied to the evidence in the universe to determine if a cosmic "intruder" is the most reasonable inference?

loved hearing a great way to study better. the case for a gangrene arm and amputation was so eye opening and simple just never thought of that analogy
I want to say this popped up in my notifications as "Why Jesus was a cat" lol.
Great Podcast, my highschool friend group all listen to you so we can defend our faith in a very atheist school setting
This is a find! I have been searching for something like this. It's better than my expectations! Thank you! To God be the glory!
how can Americans defend themselves from the government. this is the logic behind our right to bear arms. you can't limit law abiding Americans to find common ground..man's heart is wicked he will find means of mass destruction. rental trucks just one example.. No doubt laws need to be in place to keep weapons in the hands of law abiding citizens
?
While I have enjoyed many of your episodes and agree with your logical approach to proving the diety of Jesus. I certainly don't agree that we should hand over any of our God given rights as outlined by our constitution just to satisfy the emotional needs of liberals.
