The Nature of God | Between Beliefs: Mormonism (with Brandi Bronson)

NT Wright: Who is the God of the Bible?

Scholar NT Wright sat down with me to discuss who the Bible reveals God to be. It's a very different understanding than what the common thought on God is. If the Bible is not purely about souls getting to heaven, what is the gospel? Why did God create this world in the first place if He is already perfect? Plus, what are "the dark powers/Satan" and what do they want from us? Tom answers all of it, and also gives great insight to how people can flourish when they embrace the gifts that God gave them, to participate in His new creation.  And get more of NT Wright!

The Nature of God | Between Beliefs: Mormonism (with Brandi Bronson)

This is a bonus excerpt from the conversation with ex-Mormon, Brandi Bronson. In the original conversation, she shared her journey about growing up a Latter-Day Saint, and then realizing the church wasn't true. This episode is a segment of the conversation that wasn't included. We had a moment where we explored deep doctrines within Mormonism, like how many gods there are (infinite regression) and how it's viewed today, along with the doctrine of "Heavenly Mother".

Islam Study Guide 5: Muslim to Christian: Why Are You Trying to Change Someone's Religion? (with James Rayment)

In the final study guide episode for Islam, James Rayment from the Al-Ma'idah Initiative gives fresh ways to interact with Muslim neighbors. Including how one small greeting might have changed someone's life.

Islam Study Guide 4: “The Islamic View of Jesus’ Atonement is a Conspiracy Theory” (with James Rayment)

If you want to know the biggest difference between Christianity and Islam: this is the episode to listen to. We breakdown the Islamic view of the atonement, and how the belief is in spite of the evidence. We review Muslim claims about who Jesus is, and the fact that they deny it was Jesus on the cross in the first place. When it comes to truth, this is a very important conversation to have.

Islam Study Guide 3: "There is a Way for Muslims to be Guaranteed Paradise" (with James Rayment)

This week we talk about whether Muslims can have certainty about salvation, plus an interesting fact: Muslims have some say about other Muslims' salvation. And James addresses that elephant in the room: dying as a martyr to attain heaven. But it's not necessarily what you've heard in the news.
