In this thrilling two-part episode of The Apologetics Podcast, Garrick and Timothy go back to the future. Or, perhaps more precisely, they go back to the second century for the sake of the future.

Jen Wilkin: How Bible Literacy Equips the Church to Defend the Faith
In this episode, your intrepid cohosts learn why they need to get literate. “Bible literate,” to be exact. According to author and Bible teacher Jen Wilkin, Bible literacy is a vital tool when it comes to apologetics—and “Bible literacy” is not the same thing as “biblical literacy.” Biblical literacy means knowing about the Bible. Bible […]

Garrick Bailey and Timothy Paul Jones: How to Be an Apologist without Being a Jerk
You don’t have to be a jerk to be an apologist. In fact, if you’re being a jerk, you’re not doing apologetics in a biblical way, because biblical apologetics calls Christians to defend the faith in “meekness and fear” (1 Peter 3:15b). So how can you be an apologist without being a jerk? One of […]

Garrick Bailey and Timothy Paul Jones: Resurrection-Centered Apologetics
This episode begins with the infancy of Jesus and ends with his resurrection. It’s Garrick who brings up the infancy of Jesus, and it happens in the Raiders of Church History segment in a manner that’s far more awkward than Timothy anticipated. This episode is the first—and hopefully the last—time that lactation has ever been […]

Josh McDowell: How to Know God Exists
If they made apologetics action figures, Josh McDowell would be one of the figures in the first set. If they made apologetics trading cards, Josh McDowell’s card would be in a collectible foil pack.

Kyle Beshears: Apatheism, Mormonism, and Theological Shoegazing
Welcome to the Apathetic Episode of The Apologetics Podcast!

Timothy Paul Jones: We Are All Apologists Now
A faculty address is given only once in a lifetime of academic research, and it becomes part of the institution’s permanent record of a professor’s scholarship.

Huey Lewis and the News: The Holy Trinity and “The Power of Love”
Garrick Bailey and Timothy Paul Jones have already devoted one entire episode of this podcast to love.

That’s why they’re […]

Garrick Bailey and Timothy Paul Jones: Did the Council of Nicaea Choose the Books in My Bible?
The books of the Bible were selected in the year 325 at the Council of Nicaea, right? That’s what a lot of Christians seem to think. But is this story true? And, if it isn’t true, how did the tale of a council that created the canon begin in the first place?

J. Warner Wallace: What Could We Know About Jesus If Every Bible in the World Disappeared?
