As promised, here is our Mama Bear Apologetics: Guide to Sexuality episode! I pray it blesses your weekend!
RAISE THEM TO VALUE GOD’S DESIGN
"Starting at a young age, kids are being fed damaging misinformation about sexuality, gender identity, and human biology. As a parent, it’s up to you to help your children understand God’s truth about these integral concepts in the face of the candy-coated lies that saturate today’s world.
As society continues to blur the lines of what is good, true, and acceptable, God’s standards remain clear and unchanging. This book will give you the wisdom to confidently raise your children to understand sex and gender through a biblical lens."
Mama Bear Apologetics, the Guide to Sexuality - Mama Bear Apologetics

Hillary Morgan Ferrer, founder of Mama Bear Apologetics, has a burden for providing accessible apologetics resources for busy moms. She has a master’s in biology, and her specialties are scientific apologetics, dealing with doubt, and identifying causes and solutions for youth leaving the church.

Amy Davison is a former Air Force veteran-turned-writer and podcast cohost for Mama Bear Apologetics. She received her MA in Christian apologetics from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary and loves helping parents raise their children to be warriors in the faith. She specializes in biblical sexuality, how to incorporate apologetics into parenting, and cultural challenges to the faith.

Cold Case Christianity | J. Warner Wallace

This is a republish of our episode from last spring with Jim Wallace. We will have a new episode (with Mama Bear Apologetics) up this weekend - throwing a curveball at y'all! (Let's not talk about the last two Red Sox games........)
This episode covers Jim's incredible, best-selling, life-changing apologetics book, Cold Case Christianity. He will be back on our show in just a few weeks to talk about his brand new book, Person of Interest. Jim is coming to Minnesota for a youth apologetics conference around the same time. Today's episode will be a great lead up to our November discussion with J. Warner Wallace.
Cold-Case Christianity: A Homicide Detective Investigates the Claims of the Gospels
Christianity could be defined as a “cold case”: it makes a claim about an event from the distant past for which there is little forensic evidence. In Cold-Case Christianity, J. Warner Wallace uses his nationally recognized skills as a homicide detective to look at the evidence and eyewitnesses behind Christian beliefs. Including gripping stories from his career and the visual techniques he developed in the courtroom, Wallace uses illustration to examine the powerful evidence that validates the claims of Christianity. A unique apologetic that speaks to readers’ intense interest in detective stories, Cold-Case Christianity inspires readers to have confidence in Christ as it prepares them to articulate the case for Christianity. (Purchase HERE)
Detective J. Warner Wallace listened to a pastor talk about Jesus and wondered why anyone would think Jesus was a person of interest. Wallace was skeptical of the Bible, but he’d investigated several no-body homicide cases in which there was no crime scene, no physical evidence, and no victim’s body. Could the historical life and actions of Jesus be investigated in the same way? In Person of Interest, Wallace describes his own personal investigative journey from atheism to Christianity as he carefully considers the evidence. Creative, compelling, and fully illustrated, Person of Interest will strengthen the faith of believers while engaging those who are skeptical and distrusting of the New Testament. (Purchase HERE)

Love Not By Lies | Brett Kunkle

A warm welcome to everyone. Thank you for tuning in! Today's guest is Brett Kunkle. Brett has been working with youth and young adults for twenty-SOMETHING years (possibly 21, possibly 29...)! 4 years ago, he and his wife founded Maven. Maven's got my heart because they have the apologetics & Christian worldview focus we so often talk about on this show, but they also have the youth aspect which is near to my heart. Brett is in a super busy season, leading Immersion Experiences, teaching, speaking, leading, traveling (in addition to being husband and dad, of course) - but he took time to be with us. We were so grateful to have him and for this important conversation. Learn, grow, enjoy! Go, Braves!
MAVEN is youth-focused. We are passionate about young people. Youth. Students. Junior highers. High schoolers. College students. The next generation. Because of our love for youth, we are also passionate about the people who disciple the next generation. Parents. Grandparents. Pastors. Youth leaders. Organizational leaders. Educators. We want to come alongside them to partner, guide, encourage, teach, train and equip them to raise up the next generation for the cause of Christ.
Maven Truth
“Truth + Goodness + Beauty. Maven exists to help the next generation know truth, pursue goodness and create beauty, all for the cause of Christ.”
