Why Does God Allow Suffering? | Theological | PragerU

Why do innocent people suffer? Where was God during the Holocaust? And how does faith sustain us in a world full of evil? In this episode of Theological, host Shabbos Kestenbaum sits down with Michael Jones from @InspiringPhilosophy–one of the most influential Christian apologists on YouTube — for a deep, honest, and at times challenging conversation on theodicy: the problem of evil and suffering. This is one of the most ancient questions in human history, and two thoughtful believers from different traditions take it on together — with intellectual rigor, personal honesty, and genuine respect. ▶️ Watch more episodes of Theological at:⁠ ⁠⁠https://l.prageru.com/4r4kgA8⁠⁠⁠ [https://l.prageru.com/4r4kgA8] ⭐ Enjoyed this episode?

Can Science Prove God Exists? | Theological | PragerU

Is modern science pointing toward God—or away from Him?In this episode of Theological, Shabbos Kestenbaum interviews Dr. Stephen Meyer (Cambridge PhD; Discovery Institute) on intelligent design, fine-tuning, Darwin’s limits, the Big Bang, and why even top scientists wrestle with the universe’s beginning. They also discuss Dr. Meyer’s documentary The Story of Everything, in theaters now.  Meyer breaks down: * What Intelligent Design actually claims (and why critics call it “pseudoscience”) * The difference between “God of the gaps” and inference to the best explanation * The “Goldilocks” fine-tuning problem (and the multiverse response) * Why Einstein resisted a “beginning”… and later admitted: “I was wrong.” If you’ve ever asked whether faith can be reasonable, whether science can detect design, or what the Big Bang means for theology—this is the episode.

What Happened Between Good Friday and the Resurrection? | Easter Special with Michael Knowles | Theological | PragerU

Heaven, hell, purgatory—what does the Bible actually say about the afterlife? Michael Knowles and Shabbos Kestenbaum go deep on judgment, salvation, and why the Hebrew Bible speaks differently about “the next world.” In this thought-provoking clip, they explore: * The “harrowing of hell” and what Christians mean by Christ descending “into hell” * Why the Torah and Prophets don’t spell out the afterlife as explicitly * Olam Haba vs Olam Hazeh (the next world vs this world) * Catholic teaching on final judgment, grace, works, and purgatory * “Keys of the Kingdom,” St. Peter, and what it means for spiritual authority ⭐ Enjoyed this episode?
