M&A033 - Evolution, Creation or Mockery (w/ Tim Chaffey & Jason Williams)

08/24/21 • 70 min

Can you believe in evolution? Evolutionists say no...Creationists say absolutely, yes. Evolution seems to be the atheist’s linchpin. Evolutionary discussion under the guise of anything other than fact, is a deal breaker. So what happens when a believer offers such a claim? Well, episode 033 happens: the good, the bad, and the ugly.

We invited Young-Earth Creationist, Tim Chaffey from Answers in Genesis on the podcast to give us his perspective. Tim is the content manager for the Attractions Division of Answers in Genesis. An apologist with a passion for training young people, he speaks regularly at the Creation Museum, camps, schools, and churches, and has authored numerous books.

Tim was interested in Miracles and Atheists because he liked the idea of having a good respectful dialogue on these issues. So did he get it?

You’ll hear soon...

Representing the atheist position is Jason Williams. About six months ago, Jason joined us in what most would consider to be a rather productive conversation about prayer, with Christian Robby Graham on episode 019. The show was respectful, light-hearted and we all left our microphones with smiles on our faces.

Jason works as an English teacher out of Guatemala where he lives as an expat. He says like America, where he grew up, Central America is plagued by religion.

We invited Jason back on the podcast to talk about evolution, because based on his comments from social media he has both a passion for and strong opinions about the subject, and he seemed knowledgeable.

Stay tuned for the most colorful episode we’ve ever conducted on Miracles & Atheists.

M&A032 - Trying to Believe for 30 Years (w/ Janet Reyes & Brian Essary)

Imagine striving to believe something for over 30 years, but your “light switch” just isn’t turning on. The doubt, the fear, all building up for decades...until it finally culminates to a final, decisive act! How did it happen? What would you do? Why does it have to be this way?

It’s time to unpack some details! We’re taking it back to Nick Snapp’s old stomping grounds: the original 4-HOUR Miracles & Atheists LIVESTREAM!

We’re re-releasing an important conversation that Nick had with worldwide evangelist, Brian Essary, and positive atheism advocate, Janet Reyes.

Janet Reyes is a former Southern Baptist Women’s Minister who just recently came out as an atheist after 30 years of being involved with the Church. She’s a research grant writer for a preeminent research university and has been grant writing for 18 years, and Janet has spent time volunteering for the Atheist Community of Austin serving on their Social Media Committee.

Representing the Christian perspective is Evangelist, Brain Essary. Through his mass miracle crusades and networking with church planting programs he has seen over one million people come to Christ and hundreds of national churches planted throughout these villages of India. Brian is motivated by the belief that you can impact a region through a crusade but you will only change a nation through the national ministers.

It was a lot of fun revisiting this particular livestream. One of our inspirations for going back through this conversation again because of the interesting challenge Janet posed to Brian at the end of the conversation...bring it!

M&A034 - Self-Righteous Religion, Broken Catholics & Labels (w/ Joseph Warren)

Imagine a killer was trying to suffocate you and as you take your last breath he’s celebrating your death. This was a sobering, horrifying moment for our guest, “Broken Catholic” Joseph Warren. We talked about his experience in this moment, and we unpack as much as we can about Catholicism, a faith many evangelical Christians don’t focus on, or really understand.

Joseph’s story is absolutely amazing. He had all the things this world says you should have: money, success, women and an automated business that required only two hrs per week of his time. Yet, despite all this, he felt empty and dissatisfied. Joseph says in a moment of desperation, he prayed a dangerous prayer: “God remove anything that is blocking Your plan for my life - and use force if necessary.”

You’ll get to hear some of his dramatic experiences after praying that prayer, almost right out of a movie!
