I Don't Have Enough FAITH to Be an ATHEIST

Why do Christians think Jesus is the ONLY way to Heaven? In this midweek podcast episode, Frank unpacks what truly sets Christianity apart from other religions and also tackles tough questions from listeners related to same-sex relationships, woke churches, and baptism. Tune in as he addresses questions like:

• Does simply saying you believe Jesus is our LORD and Saviour enough to save you?
• Why was Jesus' sacrifice necessary?
• Are all non-Christians going to Hell, even if they’re "good" people?
• Why can’t a loving God allow everyone into Heaven, regardless of their beliefs?
• Do you need Christianity to be a good person?
• What’s wrong with the popular 'He Gets Us' campaign?
• How are people tormented in Hell?
• What's the difference between justice and grace?
• Why is the nature of truth inherently exclusive?

All this and more will be discussed in this special Q&A edition of 'I Don’t Have Enough Faith to Be An Atheist'!

How do you spend 20 years talking to some of the world’s most well-known atheists and still remain a committed Christian? Is it possible that belief in God actually makes sense?

Popular radio host and podcaster Justin Brierley has been creating and facilitating constructive conversations about faith for more than two decades, and has had a ringside seat as believers and nonbelievers have debated Christianity. This week on the podcast, Justin joins Frank to discuss his upcoming book, 'Why I'm Still a Christian: After Two Decades of Conversations with Skeptics and Atheists–The Reason I Believe' and shares how he kept his faith intact while engaging with skeptics from around the world. Together, he and Frank answer big questions like:

• What led Justin to write this book, and what ultimately convinces him that Christianity is true?
• Is Christianity intellectually defensible in a secular age?
• What are the strongest arguments for (and against) the existence of God?
• Why are some leading atheists reconsidering their skepticism?
• Has science truly made belief in God obsolete?
• How can Christians engage skeptics without losing their own faith?
• What advice does Justin have for people who may be "deconstructing" their faith?

Did Jesus of Nazareth really rise from the dead? And if that's the case, how should that impact our view of history and everything we believe about God and reality? With the colloquial Easter holiday coming just around the corner, let's dive into the BEST evidence for the resurrection as Frank answers questions like:

• What is the greatest miracle in the Bible? (SPOILER ALERT: it's NOT the Resurrection)
• What are the four types of miracles that Jesus performed and what do they teach us about His divinity?
• Why could we call them the "duh"-ciples of Jesus?
• How do we know that Islam isn't true? And what about Judaism?
• What makes the conversion of James (the brother of Jesus) so compelling?
• Why does Dennis Prager think that the Old Testament is telling the truth and what implications does this have on the historicity of the New Testament?
• Why do some people refuse to believe in the possibility of a resurrection despite the evidence?
• What 7 figures associated with the trial and crucifixion of Christ have been discovered via archaeology?

Listeners will discover why human life has eternal value, why Christianity stands alone among other worldviews, and how we can know the Bible is historically reliable. Plus, Frank shares a special invitation to join the CE team!

Are there contradictions between the gospel accounts? If so, how can we trust the central tenet of Christianity--the Resurrection of Jesus? J. Warner Wallace returns to share how he used his skill set as a detective to investigate the claims of the New Testament gospels and compares his findings to those of atheist/agnostic New Testament scholar, Bart Ehrman.

Together, Frank and Jim answer questions like:

• What's necessary to prove an event occurred in the past?
• Why weren't first-century historians bothered by textual differences found in the Gospels?
• Why is it better to have four different gospel accounts vs. one harmonization?
• Why would God allow these textual differences?
• What surprised Jim the most the first time he read the Gospels as an atheist?
• Why do detectives separate eyewitnesses?
• When doing detective work, why does Jim prefer it when the stories are "messy"?
• Does the evidence always determine the verdict? In other words, why do Jim and Bart come to different conclusions when it comes to the Resurrection of Jesus?
• Why is bias against the supernatural a double-standard for materialist atheists?
• What's the best way to test an eyewitness?
• If the Gospels are contradictory and can’t be trusted, why do critics like Erhman conclude that much of the New Testament is true and that the disciples really believed they saw the resurrected Jesus?
• How are atheists disagreeing with themselves and agreeing with Christians when it comes to alternative explanations for the resurrection?

And so much more! If you normally listen to podcasts on 2x speed you may need to slow it down for this one and take some notes!
