Why Can't We Just Agree That Love Is Love?

Episode 7 Description: Why Can’t We Just Agree That Love Is Love? “Love is love.” It’s one of the most common and compelling phrases in our culture today. But what do we actually mean when we say it? Is love simply about sincere feelings and personal happiness, or is there something deeper that gives love its meaning and purpose? In this episode of 10 Questions, we tackle one of the most sensitive and important conversations of our time: “Why Can’t We Just Agree That Love Is Love?” Drawing from Rebecca McLaughlin’s 10 Questions Every Teen Should Ask (and Answer) About Christianity and the teachings of Scripture, we explore what the Bible says about love, relationships, identity, and God’s design for human flourishing. We’ll discuss: Why our culture has made romantic love central to identity The difference between love as a feeling and love as a commitment to another person’s good Why Christians believe truth and love belong together What the Bible teaches about sex, marriage, and human relationships Why following Jesus calls every person—not just some people—to surrender their desires to God How God’s definition of love might be bigger, deeper, and more beautiful than our culture often imagines This episode isn’t about winning arguments or attacking people. It’s about thoughtfully asking a deeper question: Who gets to define love—our feelings, our culture, or the God who created us?

Hasn't Science Disproved Christianity?

For many people, science and Christianity seem to be locked in a never-ending battle. The common assumption is that as science advances, faith becomes unnecessary. But is that really true? In this episode of 10 Questions, we explore the question: “Hasn’t Science Disproved Christianity?” Drawing from Rebecca McLaughlin’s 10 Questions Every Teen Should Ask (and Answer) About Christianity and the teachings of Scripture, we examine whether science and faith are actually enemies—or if they answer different kinds of questions altogether. We’ll discuss: Whether science and Christianity are truly in conflict. Why many of the pioneers of modern science were Christians? The difference between explaining how something works and why it exists. Whether miracles are incompatible with science? How the order and complexity of the universe point to deeper questions about reality? Why Christianity encourages thoughtful investigation rather than blind faith? Whether you're skeptical of Christianity, passionate about science, or simply curious about how the two fit together, this episode will challenge common assumptions and encourage you to think more deeply about the relationship between scientific discovery and belief in God. What if science hasn’t disproved Christianity at all—but instead helps us better understand the incredible universe God has made?

How Can You Believe the Bible Is True?

Can the Bible really be trusted? Or is it just an ancient book full of myths, contradictions, and outdated ideas? In this episode of 10 Questions, we tackle one of the most foundational questions about Christianity: “How can you believe the Bible is true?” Drawing from Rebecca McLaughlin’s 10 Questions Every Teen Should Ask (and Answer) About Christianity and Scripture itself, we explore why Christians throughout history have trusted the Bible as God’s Word. We’ll discuss: Whether the Bible has changed over time What to do with supposed contradictions Why the Bible’s historical grounding matters How Jesus viewed Scripture And why the entire story of the Bible centers on Christ This episode challenges listeners to move beyond surface-level assumptions and seriously consider the Bible’s claims for themselves. Whether you’re skeptical, curious, or growing in your faith, this conversation invites you to think critically and ask an even bigger question: What if the Bible is telling the truth about Jesus, and about us?

Can Jesus Be True For You But Not For Me?

“Jesus may be true for you, but not for me.” It’s one of the most common ideas in modern culture—but does it actually make sense? In this episode of 10 Questions, we explore the difference between personal preference and objective truth, and why Christianity isn’t presented in the Bible as merely a helpful belief system, but as a claim about reality itself. Drawing from Rebecca McLaughlin’s 10 Questions Every Teen Should Ask (and Answer) About Christianity and Scripture, we wrestle with questions like: What is truth? Can two completely opposite beliefs both be true? Is Christianity intolerant for claiming Jesus is the only way? And who did Jesus actually claim to be? We’ll examine the cultural idea of “living your truth,” the exclusive claims of Jesus, and why Christianity invites investigation rather than blind belief. Whether you’re skeptical, curious, or growing in your faith, this episode challenges listeners to think critically about what truth really is, and what we do with the claims of Christ.

Isn't Christianity Against Diversity?

In a culture that celebrates inclusion and diversity, Christianity is often seen as narrow, exclusive, or even opposed to difference. So is that fair? In this episode of 10 Questions, we tackle the question: “Isn’t Christianity against diversity?” Drawing from Rebecca McLaughlin’s 10 Questions Every Teen Should Ask (and Answer) About Christianity and the Bible, we explore whether Christianity actually limits diversity—or provides the strongest foundation for it. We’ll look at what our culture means by “diversity,” how Scripture speaks to human value and identity, and why the Christian vision of unity is different from both forced uniformity and anything-goes relativism. Along the way, we’ll wrestle with Christianity’s exclusive truth claims and what they really mean for inclusion. This episode challenges common assumptions and invites you to think deeper about how we understand diversity, truth, and what truly brings people together. Come ready to think critically—and consider whether Christianity might offer a better vision than you expected.
