Apologetics: Were the Stories of Jesus Based on Pagan Parallels?

12th November 2020

Pagan parallels to Christianity! Is it possible, as some people claim, that the stories of Jesus were based on Pagan myths?

Russell Moore: The Search for a Satisfying Story + “He Went to Paris” (Jimmy Buffett)

22nd September 2020

Sometimes, the best defense of the gospel isn’t a better argument but a better story. That’s why the previous episode about Josh Chatraw’s book Telling a Better Story and this episode with Russell Moore both focus on narrative apologetics.

17th November 2016

“We are fast becoming a pornographic society. Over the course of the last decade, explicitly sexual images have crept into…virtually every niche of American life,” R.
