Description

You've heard the question before—maybe you've even asked it yourself: Can God make a rock so heavy He can't lift it? In this episode, Joel Settecase dismantles one of the most repeated objections to God's omnipotence and turns it on its head. What starts as a philosophical joke quickly becomes a deep dive into the nature of logic, the attributes of God, and why the Christian worldview uniquely holds up under scrutiny.

This episode is a masterclass in how to think clearly about God, truth, and reality.

🧠 Topics Covered:

  • The “Omnipotence Paradox” and why it's self-defeating

  • Why logic presupposes the existence of the triune God

  • How God's "limitations" are actually marks of His perfection

  • Why Jesus—not just philosophy—is the answer to the ultimate problem

📖 Key Scriptures:

  • James 1:13 — God cannot be tempted by evil

  • Hebrews 6:18 — It is impossible for God to lie

  • 2 Timothy 2:13 — God cannot deny Himself

  • Romans 6:23 — The wages of sin and the gift of God
