Debating the World's Oldest Alphabet Part 2 Jul 19, 2023

Show notes

This week on the Patterns of Evidence podcast, we continue the debate surrounding the world's oldest alphabet. This is Part 2 of our audio excerpt series from The Moses Controversy Collector's Edition.

What reasons do certain scholars have for connecting this script to the ancient Israelites during the time of the sojourn and Exodus? Does this script provide evidence for Moses' ability to write the Torah as the Bible states?

SNEAK PEEK: The Geographical Criteria for Mount Sinai Jun 22, 2023

Show notes

For our next podcast series, we wanted to share special audio snippets with you from our brand new Thinking Man Films Lecture, "Searching for the Mountain of God," with Ph.D. Environmental Geographer, Dr. Glen Fritz.

This exciting, Bible affirming lecture (the full video version) is now available for Pre-Order via this link:

In this segment, Dr. Fritz begins to lay out the geographical arguments for a Saudi Arabian location for Mount Sinai based on the mountain being located on the backside of the wilderness, relative to ancient Midian.

Where was ancient Midian where Moses lived for 40 years after fleeing Egypt - and can we identify the backside of the wilderness he led Jethro's flocks to and encountered the burning bush?

Josephus, Thutmose III, & Echos of the Exodus Jun 12, 2023

Show notes

This week on the Patterns of Evidence podcast we join Timothy Mahoney and Dr. Fred Baltz for another intriguing discussion. Dr. Baltz shares what he believes are "echos of the Exodus" in Jewish legendary texts and the writings of Josephus. Do these texts reveal the Pharaoh of the Exodus and the Egyptian princess who rescued baby Moses from the Nile?

Dr. Baltz also discusses the use of astronomy in conjunction with these texts for dating the Exodus and Joshua's conquest of the Promised Land based on the incident of Joshua commanding the sun to stand still during the battle of Gibeon (Joshua 10:12).

EASTER RERUN - The Shroud of Turin: Evidence of the Resurrection? Jun 04, 2023

Show notes

This week on the Patterns of Evidence Podcast, we join Timothy Mahoney, and Dr. Fred Baltz for an intriguing discussion of the Shroud of Turin. Do new scientific tests conducted on the Shroud help confirm its authenticity as the burial cloth of Jesus referenced in John 20:5-8?

Dr. Baltz shares his insights on this matter and the pattern of evidence he believes aligns the Shroud with the biblical account of the Resurrection. Learn how new dating techniques seem to place the Shroud into the context of the New Testament era and how pollen and soil samples taken from it may indicate an origin in Jerusalem.

Tim and Dr. Baltz also discucss the potential theological significance of this object and the good news of the Resurrection recorded in the Gospels.

Dr. Baltz has written an article on the Shroud for our Thinker Updates that you can read here:

The God of the Mountain May 18, 2023

Show notes

In this episode, Filmmaker, Timothy Mahoney, continues his special conversation with Exodus Explorers, Jim and Penny Caldwell. Tim, Jim, and Penny discuss Penny's book, "The God of the Mountain," which chronicles the events, Divine protection and guidance, and miracles that transpired during the Caldwells' adventures in Saudi Arabia at Jabal al-Lawz.

Jim also shares about the supernatural experience he had that set this whole course of events in motion - a vision of the Ark of the Covenant being carried back to Mount Sinai and the charge given to him, that he would go to this mountain and find it.

Hear about the extraordinary things that happened to this ordinary family and the sense they had that they were on a mission from God as they documented what appeared to be a pattern of evidence matching the Bible in and around Jabal al-Lawz.

The Importance of Being a Thinker Mar 30, 2023

Show notes

This week on the Patterns of Evidence Podcast, Filmmaker, Tim Mahoney, Writer/Researcher for Patterns of Evidence, Steve Law, and Thinker Update Author, Lora Gilb, discuss the intriguing origin of our Patterns of Evidence Thinker Blog.

What brought about these weekly articles and why do we feel it's important to keep you up to date on the latest discoveries in biblical archaeology? What artifact discovered in Israel started the blog and how are archaeological digs in the Middle East continually affirming our faith?

Now more than ever it is so critical to share Bible affirming evidence with others, especially the younger generation who are hearing the opposite from the culture and the classroom. Hear testimonies from Tim, Steve, and Lora about people that have been encouraged by the evidence we're striving to present in our films. Also hear personal stories from their own lives and the lives of their family members.

Our faith is rooted in history and there is a pattern of evidence matching the Bible! This information has the power to transform lives and equip young students, especially as they go off to college. We hope you enjoy this episode!
