Description
The Bold Apologia Podcast is dedicated to equipping believers with a strong, biblically grounded defense of the Christian faith. As a pastor with years of ministry experience, I have seen firsthand the questions and challenges that Christians face in a culture increasingly opposed to biblical truth. Drawing from a charismatic perspective alongside my interest in theology and apologetics, I use this podcast as a platform to help believers grow in their understanding of Scripture, defend their faith with confidence, and engage thoughtfully with the world around them. With extensive experience as a podcast host, I have developed a style that combines deep theological insight with practical application, making complex topics accessible and relevant for everyday believers.
The podcast covers a wide range of foundational and complex apologetics topics. Episodes explore the evidence for God’s existence, the historical reliability of Scripture, the resurrection of Jesus, and the role of fulfilled prophecy in confirming the truth of the Bible. I also address how Christians can respond to modern cultural and philosophical challenges, defend the supernatural aspects of their faith, and engage in apologetics in a way that is both intellectually rigorous and spiritually impactful. Additionally, the podcast examines different approaches to apologetics, the relationship between faith and reason, and how to articulate a compelling case for Christianity in conversations with skeptics and seekers. Rooted in a charismatic perspective, the podcast affirms the ongoing work of the Holy Spirit, discussing spiritual gifts, miracles, revival, and how they intersect with apologetics and the defense of the Christian faith.
The Bold Apologia Podcast is not just about answering objections—it is about strengthening believers in their walk with Christ. Many Christians struggle to clearly express what they believe and why, especially in a world that often dismisses faith as outdated or irrational. This podcast helps listeners develop a strong theological foundation, refine their critical thinking skills, and grow in boldness when sharing the gospel. By addressing both intellectual and practical aspects of apologetics, the Bold Apologia Podcast equips Christians to stand firm in their faith, engage culture with confidence, and cultivate a deep passion for truth in a world that desperately needs it—all while embracing the power and presence of the Holy Spirit in defending and living out the Gospel.

Jesus says, “Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy.” In Episode 12 of Sanctify Christ as Lord, we explore how mercy is not weakness, compromise, or moral indifference, but compassion shown where judgment would be justified. By the time Jesus reaches this Beatitude, the inner work of the heart begins to move outward, revealing what has truly taken root within us.Mercy doesn’t earn God’s favor. It flows from those who know they needed mercy first and received it freely. This episode invites us to remember where we came from, to hold truth and grace together, and to live as people shaped by the mercy we ourselves have encountered.#Jesus #Christianity #Apologetics #SermonOntheMount
Jesus says, “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.” In Episode 11 of Sanctify Christ as Lord, we slow down and ask an uncomfortable but necessary question: what do we actually want? This beatitude confronts a world full of noise, outrage, and competing desires, and calls us to examine what truly rules our hearts.Hunger for righteousness isn’t about moral performance or spiritual superiority. It’s the ache of knowing something is broken and trusting God to make it right. If you’ve felt restless, dissatisfied, or longing for more than this world can give, this episode is an invitation to bring that hunger to Christ and let Him reshape what you love.#Jesus #Christianity #God #Apologetics
Meekness is not weakness.It is strength under submission.In a world that praises dominance, self-promotion, and control, Jesus says something shocking: the meek inherit the earth.Biblical meekness is not passivity or silence. It is power that refuses to be ruled by ego. It is humility that trusts God with outcomes. It is strength that bows before the Lord rather than demanding its own way.In this episode, we explore what Jesus really means in Matthew 5:5 and why meekness is not the loss of authority, but the posture that God entrusts authority to.“Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.”Listen now and let Jesus reshape how you understand strength.#Beatitudes #Christianity #Apologetics #Jesus #God #Faith
Jesus says, “Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.” In Episode 9 of Sanctify Christ as Lord, we walk slowly through Matthew 5:4 and confront a truth our culture often avoids: grief is not a failure of faith. Mourning flows out of poverty of spirit and names the brokenness of a world that is not the way it was meant to be, while still trusting the character of God.This episode offers biblical comfort without clichés, honest answers without pretending suffering is simple, and a call to sanctify Christ as Lord even in sorrow. If you are grieving, lamenting, or carrying questions that don’t have easy answers, this conversation is for you.
When Power Becomes the Measure In this opening episode, we begin a careful, Scripture-centered examination of Bethel’s theology by laying the foundation for how doctrine should be tested.This is not an attack on people or a denial of the supernatural. It is a pastoral call to make Scripture the final authority over experience, power, and testimony.Before critiquing conclusions, we examine framing. Before assigning motives, we test claims. And before moving quickly, we slow down and open the Bible.If truth matters, teaching matters. And if teaching matters, it must be examined with care, humility, and love.#Bethel #BillJohnson #Apologetics #Theology #Charismatics #SpiritFilled #WhenHeavenInvadesEarth #SignsandWonders
What does it really mean to be poor in spirit? In Episode 8 of Sanctify Christ as Lord, we slow down in Matthew 5:3 and confront the illusion of self-sufficiency. Jesus declares the kingdom belongs not to the strong or self-made, but to those who know they need grace. This episode explores how discipline can quietly turn into pride and how dependence is the doorway to the kingdom. If you’re tired of carrying everything, this one is for you.
In this special episode, Adam responds to recent claims made by Kirk Cameron and his son James Cameron questioning the traditional doctrine of hell, carefully examining their arguments in light of Scripture, key Greek terms, the teachings of Jesus, and the witness of the early Church. With theological clarity and pastoral sobriety, the episode asks whether modern discomfort is reshaping our understanding of judgment more than the words of Christ Himself.This podcast also explores the biblical and apologetic implications of redefining hell, why divine justice cannot be separated from the cross, and how softening final judgment ultimately diminishes the seriousness of sin and the beauty of mercy. This is not a sensational episode, but a careful and compassionate call to let Scripture speak plainly, even when it confronts us.#Hell #KirkCameron #Apologetics #Theology #Christianity #God #DoctrineofHell
Christmas isn’t condemned in Scripture.Idolatry is. And so is mishandling God’s Word.In Episode 7 of Sanctify Christ as Lord, we walk carefully through Jeremiah 10 and confront the misuse of Scripture that turns personal scruples into divine law.#Christmas #ChristmasTrees #Jeremiah10 #Hermeneutics #Apologetics
When politics becomes prophecy and conspiracy replaces the gospel, the Church loses its witness.This episode calls out the rise of the “woke right” and asks a hard question: are we following Christ, or a counterfeit gospel?#CandaceOwens #TuckerCarlson #Woke #WokeRight #Apologetics #CharlieKirk #TPUSA #Conservatism #Apologetics #Christianity
Can a mass murderer go to heaven?It’s a question that feels offensive to even ask. And that’s exactly why it matters.If grace only works for “acceptable” sinners, then it isn’t grace at all. In this episode, we wrestle honestly with the scandal of the gospel, the weight of real evil, the justice of God, and the shocking sufficiency of the cross.This isn’t about minimizing sin.It’s about magnifying Christ.Repentance is not a loophole. It’s a miracle. And if the cross is strong enough to bear the worst sin imaginable, then it’s strong enough to bear yours.#God #Grace #Hitler #Stalin #Mao #Sin #Christianity #Apologetics #Theology
Taming the TongueWhat we say matters, but not in the way many Christians have been taught.In this episode of Sanctify Christ as Lord, we take a hard, biblical look at the tongue and confront the popular Word of Faith idea that our words create reality, manifest blessing, or “claim” sickness.Walking carefully through James 3, Proverbs 18:21, and Jesus’ own words in Matthew 12, we expose the difference between biblical responsibility and spiritual superstition. Scripture does not teach that Christians are verbal creators of reality. It teaches that our words reveal our hearts, direct our lives, and carry real moral and relational weight.We examine why some believers fear acknowledging sickness while freely gossiping, slandering, and tearing others dow, and why the Bible treats those sins far more seriously than honest speech about suffering.This episode calls believers to reject magical thinking, fear-based confession, and shallow teaching, and instead pursue holiness of speech, truthfulness, and Spirit-led self-control.If Christ is Lord, He must also be Lord of our tongues.Key Scriptures:James 3:1–12Proverbs 18:21Matthew 12:34–37Ephesians 4:25Colossians 4:6#WordofFaith #Apologetics #NewAge #LawofAttraction #BiblicalWorldview #Jesus
“Hitler was a Christian.”It is one of the most common arguments you will hear from Richard Dawkins and from online atheists who claim that Christianity is responsible for the evil carried out by Hitler and the Nazi regime.In this special episode of the Bold Apologia Podcast, we step away from oversimplified claims and look closely at the historical evidence. What did Hitler actually believe? How did he use religious language for political manipulation? And why does this myth continue to resurface in modern skepticism?This episode exposes the selective quotations, the ideological motivations, and the historical inaccuracies that keep this claim alive. It also reminds us why intellectual honesty matters in conversations about faith, morality, and the nature of evil.If you have ever had this argument used against you in a debate or comment thread, this is the episode you need to hear.#Hitler #RichardDawkins #Christianity #Atheism #Stalin #God #Jesus #Atheists #Christians #Apologetics

In this episode of his “Sanctify Christ as Lord” series, Adam talks about the difference between church people and Christians, while encouraging the listener to be more like a Christian, and less like a “church person.”
In this episode, Adam opens up and shares pieces of his own story, inviting the church into a deeper place of honesty and vulnerability. The truth is, the scars we carry and the painful moments we’ve walked through often become the very places where God’s glory shines the brightest. When we’re willing to be real, our lives become a testimony pointing a hurting world to the hope, healing, and power of Jesus.
In this episode, Adam talks about sanctifying Christ as Lord of our lives in the area of how we handle conflict. The way we handle conflict can be a light to the world. Listen to the podcast to find out why!
In this sermon, Adam preaches on the continuation of spiritual gifts, walking through 1 Corinthians 13:8–12 to show that the “perfect” refers to seeing Jesus face-to-face, not the completion of Scripture. He shares a powerful healing testimony, addresses the cessationist viewpoint with respect, and builds a strong biblical case for why the gifts are still necessary for the church today. We hope and believe this message will impact your life powerfully.
