#17: "Does God Even Exist?"- Apologetics with the Renaissance Redneck

Chase Bishop is a college/church friend of Dalton's and the president of christian apologetics club at Western Carolina University. In this episode, we talk about several compelling scientific and historical evidences that support the existence of God and the legitimacy of the Bible. Below, I have typed out timestamps to different topics we covered in this episode. Personally, I think we saved the best for last. Now, sit back, relax, and enjoy the show! 6:00: "The Fine Tuning Argument"- How the fine tuning of the universe points to a creator. 17:10: "The Kalams Cosmological Argument"- The universe had a beginning, so it must have required a cause that is outside of the universe. 21:07: If there is a god, why does it have to be the God of the Bible? 26:22: Evidence for Jesus raising from the dead. 35:21: Evidence for Jesus raising from the dead (continued)- The Shroud of Turin- This is the most studied ancient artifact of all time and many people believe it to be the burial cloth of Jesus Christ, including the non-christian scientists that worked on it. 48:56: closing remarks

#16: Failure

In this episode, we talk about failure. Specifically, people who have failed in the Bible, how they reacted after their failure, how God treated them, and how God tells us to respond to our own failure. There is also a guest star appearance from two of our dear friends from camp, Emilia and Micah, that you won't wanna miss! You may remember Emilia from episode 9 titled "Stories From A Summer Camp Photographer." Marcus and Gabe recorded this episode while working back in Texas at Camp Cho-Yeh where this podcast all started, while Dalton recorded remotely from North Carolina.
