Atheism on Trial | Let's Talk - Ep. 9

In Episode 9, “Atheism on Trial,” Bill Watkins and Corey Piper turn a real-time social-media skirmish with a condescending atheist—complete with the Flying Spaghetti Monster meme that still pops up in 2026’s endless culture-war memes and classroom battles over science and worldview—into a masterclass on faith, knowledge, and evidence. Bill presses the atheist’s pure empiricism against the Big Bang’s impossible “something-from-nothing” origin, then methodically unpacks the First Cause as eternal, immutable, non-spatial, non-material, pure actuality—an infinite, uncaused spiritual Being whose attributes match the God of Scripture. Bill shows how Romans 1’s implanted knowledge of the Creator, historical proofs like the resurrection, and even miracles (which C.S. Lewis reminds us simply utilize the physics God authored) dismantle atheism’s multiverse evasions and emotive mockery. Amid today’s trending headlines about the plateauing “nones,” viral atheist-Christian clashes, and renewed debates over intelligent design, the episode reminds us that Christianity alone offers a coherent, evidential foundation—leaving Soli Deo Gloria as the only fitting response to a universe that loudly declares its Creator.

What is a Human? | Let's Talk - Ep. 8

In our previous episode, Tierre’s Choice, we saw how her decision to continue the pregnancy carried a profound assumption: that the unborn baby is a human being—a person of equal value and worthy of protection. In this episode, What is a Human?, we’re going to examine exactly why the unborn child is a human person deserving of our protection. The abortion industry works hard to convince us that the unborn are not persons and therefore not worthy of legal or moral protection. They insist abortion should never trouble our conscience because, in their view, the unborn are neither human nor persons in any meaningful biological or legal sense. But philosophy, science, religion, and metaphysics all point in the opposite direction. That’s why we need to clearly explain why the unborn child is, in fact, a person—a human being—fully worthy of protection. In this conversation, we’ll discover that a person is a subjective center of intelligence, intention, and emotion. In other words, a person is a “who” that thinks, wills, and feels. There is so much more to say, so please listen in and join one of the most important conversations we should have!

Tierre's Choice

The heart of the episode is Corey's raw, personal testimony of his first wife, Tierre, whose life exemplified agape in its purest, most Christ-like form. Diagnosed with rare Eisenmenger's syndrome during pregnancy—a condition involving a reversed heart shunt and severe oxygen deprivation—the medical consensus offered grim odds: roughly 50% maternal survival with abortion (and certain fetal death), versus higher risk carrying to term. Yet Tierre, rooted in her trust in God's sovereignty and the equal value of every image-bearer, chose to carry her daughter Faye to full term. Her journals reveal a maturing faith: wrestling with fear, yet declaring, "The question is not why, but who"—trusting the sovereign God who made her "for a soul and sole purpose." This was no naive recklessness but faithful stewardship: five and a half months of strict bed rest in a Seattle hospital, prolonged suffering, and ultimate sacrifice. Miraculously, Faye was born healthy (though tiny), and Tierre lived four more days to hold her newborn—embodying Philippians 2's self-emptying love and John 15's "greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends." Faye thrives today, married with children, bearing fruit from Tierre's choice that echoes into generations.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
