Episode 18: Why Does the God of the Old Testament Seem So Different from the God of the New Testament? Feb 18, 2017

Show notes

“It is often said with a sneer that the God of Israel was only a God of Battles, ‘a mere barbaric Lord of Hosts’ pitted in rivalry against other gods only as their envious foe.” (From “The Everlasting Man” by G.K. Chesterton) It is indeed often said with a mocking and dismissive sneer that the […]

Episode 17: Discussing the Mama Bear Tagline – Isn’t “Demolishing Arguments” a Bit Harsh? Feb 07, 2017

Show notes

At Mama Bear Apologetics, our motto is “Mess with our kids, and we will demolish your arguments.” For those who have seen the carnage wrought by the battle of ideas, this tagline makes immediate sense. For others, the question becomes “Is that a Christian attitude? Isn’t demolishing things too aggressive for Christians?” The short answer to […]

Episode 16: Addressing the Divide From the Women’s March Jan 27, 2017

Show notes

When I posted the blog this weekend dissecting the “Guiding Vision and Definition of Principles” from the women’s march, I never expected the kind of attention that it would receive. And while I stand behind my words, that one post was never intended to be my defining moment. I value balance, and there is only […]

Episode 15: Are the New Testament Eyewitnesses Reliable: The Flashbulb Memory Objection Jan 22, 2017

Show notes

The question of eyewitness reliability is a pertinent conversation that every parent will have (or should have) when their child asks, “How do we know that we can trust the Bible?” If the New Testament documents are not reliable, and if the people writing the New Testament documents were not reliable, what leg does our […]

Episode 14: Jonathan Edwards’ Resolutions Can Beat-up Your Resolutions Jan 02, 2017

Show notes

If you have never read the “resolutions” of Jonathan Edwards, you are missing out! As Rebekah and I discussed in our last podcast, Jonathan Edwards was an early-mid 18th century revivalist preacher.

Episode 13: Resolutions and Legalism Part 1 – An Intro to Jonathan Edwards Dec 30, 2016

Show notes

In this podcast, Rebekah and I introduce you to one of the central figures of the Great Awakening: Jonathan Edwards. Why is he such an important figure to discuss? He is what many people would classify as a “fire and brimstone” preacher who lived in the mid 18th century (i.e. mid 1700’s). In preparing for this […]

Episode 12: An Honest Talk About Mom Guilt Dec 18, 2016

Show notes

Mom guilt: the tendency for moms to feel guilty for taking any kind of break for themselves, even though breaks are vital for emotional, intellectual and spiritual health. I can’t speak for other countries, but I know for a fact that we have an epidemic of mom guilt here in America. Call me nostalgic, but […]

Episode 11: Are the New Testament Documents Reliable: an Introduction to Bart Ehrman Dec 07, 2016

Show notes

One of the most important questions that we as Christian parents can answer for our children (and for ourselves) is, “Are the New Testament documents reliable?” While this podcast in no way represents a comprehensive answer, it is a good intro to the discussion if you have never heard it before. Topics Discussed: Who is […]

Episode 10: 3 Essential Truths to Include When Discussing the Election With Kids (or Even When You’re Processing on Your Own) Nov 16, 2016

Show notes

This is possibly one of the most awkward podcasts we have had to do. This election season was brutal. Never have I seen the results of an election affect kids in such a profound way, and never have I seen so many young adults behaving like children. When I was a kid, I knew the elections were […]
