Description
A podcast about science, faith, and reasoning from a biology instructor's perspective. Hosted by Daniel Faucett. Did we evolve from the primordial soup? Did the Universe start with a Big Bang? Do we share DNA with chimpanzees? Does the Moral Law exist, and does it show evidence of a great cosmic Law Giver? Has the Bible been transmitted to us accurately? Do we have free will? Join us as we navigate these difficult topics from a biblical perspective.

In this episode, I compare two perspectives on Philippians 1:29. The more Arminian perspective is that Philippians 1:29 simply means we are granted opportunities to believe in Christ and to suffer for His sake, not that those are actually given by God. The more Calvinistic reading is rather that God actually gives belief in Christ and suffering for His sake as gifts that are received; in other words, God grants the reality of these things, not simply the opportunity for these things.#calvinism #Bible #arminianism #reformed #apologetics #Christianity #exegesis --------------------------------LINKS---------------------------------Science Faith & Reasoning podcast link: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/science-faith-reasoning Coffee with John Calvin Podcast link (An SFR+ Production hosted by Daniel Faucett) https://open.spotify.com/show/5UWb8SavK17HO8ERorHPYN Learning the Fundaments (An SFR+ Production hosted by Shepard Merritt): https://creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/shep304/ -----------------------------CONNECT------------------------------https://www.scifr.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sciencefaithandreasoning X: https://twitter.com/SFRdaily
In this video, I review the recent TedX talk about Bible interpretations by Dr. Dan McClellan. This is an interesting one with a few nuances. His claim is that the Bible doesn't have inherent meaning. I breakdown his presentation and provide some Biblical commentary.#apologetics #christianity #atheism #tedx #tedtalk #agnosticism #scienceandfaith -------------------------------LINKS--------------------------------Science Faith & Reasoning podcast link: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/science-faith-reasoning Coffee with John Calvin Podcast link (An SFR+ Production hosted by Daniel Faucett) https://open.spotify.com/show/5UWb8SavK17HO8ERorHPYN Learning the Fundaments (An SFR+ Production hosted by Shepard Merritt): https://creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/shep304/ ----------------------SPECIAL THANKS------------------------TedX presentation by Dr. Dan McClellan: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VidaQPd3C6Q -----------------------------CONNECT------------------------------https://www.scifr.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sciencefaithandreasoning X: https://twitter.com/SFRdaily 
In this video, Shepard and I sit down to discuss how his experience in the NIFB/IFB Movement hurt his relationships with his family, his friends, and even his church. We also consider how to have a more Biblical and historical view of the Scriptures that can be more unifying for the body of Christ.#kjv #kjvonly #apologetics #Christianity #fundamentalism #scienceandfaith #sfr #bible -------------------------------LINKS--------------------------------Science Faith & Reasoning podcast link: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/sh...

In this video, after two years of studying the NASB 2020, I have finally changed my mind about this translation of God's Word. There were three major things that happened to me that helped me change my mind about the translation: (1) giving the Bible as a gift, (2) studying the Old Testament, and (3) learning Biblical Greek.#NASB2020 #bibletranslation #biblestudy --------------------------------LINKS---------------------------------Science Faith & Reasoning podcast link: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/science-faith-reasoning Coffee with John Calvin Podcast link (An SFR+ Production hosted by Daniel Faucett) https://open.spotify.com/show/5UWb8SavK17HO8ERorHPYN Learning the Fundaments (An SFR+ Production hosted by Shepard Merritt): https://creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/shep304/ ----------------------SPECIAL THANKS------------------------NASB 2020 Translation -----------------------------CONNECT------------------------------https://www.scifr.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sciencefaithandreasoning X: https://twitter.com/SFRdaily
In this sermon from September 7th, 2025, I preach verse-by-verse the passage in Luke 8:40-56, where Christ resurrects Jairus' daughter. Jesus also heals the woman with a chronic flow of blood on his way to heal Jairus' daughter.#apologetics #Christianity #atheism #scienceandfaith #christianpodcast #christianpodcasters #christianpodcasts #christianpodcaster #christianpodcasting #sciencefaithandreasoning #sfr--------------------------------LINKS---------------------------------Science Faith & Reasoning podcast link: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/science-faith-reasoningCoffee with John Calvin Podcast link (An SFR+ Production!) https://open.spotify.com/show/5UWb8SavK17HO8ERorHPYN ----------------------SPECIAL THANKS------------------------Hardin's Chapel Bible Church-----------------------------CONNECT------------------------------https://www.scifr.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sciencefaithandreasoning X: https://twitter.com/SFRdaily Our HostInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/danielfaucett1995 X: https://twitter.com/danielfaucett 
In this episode, I sit down at one of my favorite restaurants to discuss doing ministry with Reed Chambers from a Reformed perspective. Reed is a presbyterian currently serving in the field of youth ministry; he works diligently discipling others and proclaiming the Gospel in Rainbow City, AL.#reformedtheology #calvinism #apologetics #Christianity #atheism #scienceandfaith #christianpodcast #christianpodcasters #christianpodcasts #christianpodcaster #christianpodcasting #sciencefaithandreasoning #sfr--------------------------------LINKS---------------------------------Science Faith & Reasoning podcast link: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/science-faith-reasoningCoffee with John Calvin Podcast link (An SFR+ Production!) https://open.spotify.com/show/5UWb8SavK17HO8ERorHPYN ----------------------SPECIAL THANKS------------------------Featured Guest:Reed Chambers-----------------------------CONNECT------------------------------https://www.scifr.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sciencefaithandreasoning X: https://twitter.com/SFRdaily Our HostInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/danielfaucett1995 X: https://twitter.com/danielfaucett 
In this sermon, which I recently delivered at Cowboy Church in Alexandria, I discuss the exchange of Jesus for Barabbas during the Passover feast. I begin by giving a brief contextual summary of Matthew 26 leading up to this event, which occurs in Matthew 27, where I share a verse-by-verse exegesis, and I end the message with some important applications and the symbolic nature of the passage in terms of the Gospel.
In this episode, I perform a simple pH color changing experiment to symbolize the beautiful picture of the Gospel. If you are listening over the podcast format, you will not be able to see the glass, but it starts clears, becomes pink, and then becomes clear again in the end. How we went from sinless in the garden, to sinful and deserving of eternal damnation, to how we inherit the righteousness of Jesus Christ by grace through faith. It is so wonderful to see how Christ supplies us with HIs righteousness and holiness, and how He died for us while we were still dead in our sins. What a gracious and loving God we worship!#christianity #gospel #science
In this episode, I sit down with my good friend Shepard Merritt to discuss his experience with the New Independent Fundamentalist Baptist (NIFB) Church as well as with the Church's insistence on using only the King James Version of the Bible. It's not merely that the church teaches you should use the KJV, but it also teaches that other versions are demonic and attempting to deceive people with false teachings. Shepard describes how he got pulled in by the church's teachings on Faith Alone, Scripture Alone, and Grace Alone, but how the doctrine of Scripture Alone was twisted to really mean King James Version Alone, a gross misrepresentation of one of the five solas of the Reformation.
Also discussed are the red flags that started to show up in his study of NIFB teachings that led to him to start questioning the church. One of the biggest red flags he noticed was how reprobation and imprecatory prayers (as well as KJV Only radicalism) were taught with equal importance to the Gospel, signifying how out of focus some of the leaders of the NIFB church can be.
We want to be clear that this is not meant to criticize anyone within the NIFB church personally, but simply to bring to light some of the errors of NIFB and KJV Only teachings so that all of us can grow stronger in the faith together as we lift each other in humble obedience to Jesus Christ.
This video hopes to express a James 3:17-18 (NASB 1995, my emphasis) attitude, "17 But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere. 18 And a harvest of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace."
We hope to push Christians to be peaceable and open to reason so we can all grow in love, gentleness, mercy, and good fruits. Grace and mercy be with you all.

In this video, I follow up on my first review of the NASB2020 translation by the Lockman Foundation. Honestly... this translation has not aged well for me.

In this video, teacher-coach Richard Joiner and I sit down in my classroom to discuss how we, as Christians, don't see science as something that is necessarily opposed to our faith. We see science as something that is given meaning and purpose because of our faith.

In this short episode, I (Daniel) provide 7 Evidences for the Resurrection of Jesus Christ.
In this episode, I look at the differences between the NASB 2020 and the NASB 1995. In the Preface to the NASB 2020, The Lockman Foundation claims to have attempted to make the NASB 2020 more "gender accurate", as well as easier to read through using language that is common and more understandable to the modern English reader.
Overall, there are lots of changes and corrections that were good and extremely necessary; however, there are many that were unnecessary, making this translation not quite what many people hoped for. Although, it does seem to be a reliable translation, apart from a few minor shortcomings. 
I discuss the differences in the 1995 and 2020 versions in 1st Corinthians 6:18 (here the NASB 2020 improved upon the translation of the the Greek word porneian - now it is translated as sexual immorality instead of just simply immorality). The differences at Genesis 1:2, Romans 5:12, 1st Timothy 2:1-2, and Romans 12:1 are also discussed, along with a brief review of comments made on Alpha & Omega Ministries YouTube channel about these differences: (you can watch their full video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o5FDS6tnklI).
Overall, my view of the NASB 2020 is that it has become more dynamic, and in some ways this is great, but in some ways this loses some of the easter eggs and deeper meanings found in a more literal rendering of the text of Scripture.

In this episode, two brothers, Daniel (A Christian) and John (An Agnostic), discuss the purpose and meaning of Hell. The other topic discussed is what would change our minds about our beliefs; what evidence could we hypothetically encounter that would change our presuppositions?

In this episode, I explain the importance of presenting Christian apologetic material with truth and love, not one or the other. If we have not love, we are nothing, but if we have not truth, then we can't be anything regardless. We must balance truth and love, with a hope for all unbelievers' salvation. We cannot compromise truth to avoid offending others, but we shouldn't engage with nonbelievers in a manner that is needlessly offensive and confrontational. There is no room for watering down truth, but there's also no need for engaging in a heated debate, when a honest discussion can be more effective in building trust and inviting others of the Christian.

In this video, I (Daniel) share my testimony with my agnostic-atheist brother John in the second episode of The Belief Dialogues. To start our discussion, I explain that what led me to faith in Christ was a spiritual need for forgiveness from my violations of the Moral Law.
In this episode, various concepts are discussed between the two of us, such as: the concept of conviction, the Moral Law, are morals invented or discovered, our fundamental assumptions and presuppositions, finding meaning in life, my view of God, and what would convince me to change my mind about God as a Christian.
