    Is your Parable Interpretation Bibleworthy?

    Reading Jesus' parables and wondering, “Am I doing this right?” Same. From wild allegories to feel-good fluff, people have butchered these stories for ages.

    Is DECONSTRUCTION Bibleworthy? - Interview with Author Tim Barnett

    Are you worried about your kids questioning their faith or being influenced by trendy ideas like deconstruction? The rise of deconstruction is leaving young Christians confused, doubting biblical truth, and walking away from their faith. For parents, it can feel overwhelming to know how to respond or help their kids navigate these challenges without pushing them further away. In this episode, Blair Lee talks with Tim Barnett—apologist, co-author of The Deconstruction of Christianity, and creator of Red Pen Logic. Together, they break down what deconstruction really is, why it’s harmful, and how parents can guide their kids through faith doubts with wisdom, truth, and grace. Also, should Blair have let his teenage daughter shave her head?

    Is Submission to the State Bibleworthy? (Romans 13:1-7) - Interview with expert Alex Bernardo

    What does it truly mean to live as citizens of God’s Kingdom while navigating human governments? In this episode, I sit down with Alex Bernardo—host of The Protestant Libertarian Podcast, where he explores the intersection between Protestant biblical studies and libertarian philosophy—to unpack Romans 13:1-7 and its implications for Christians under state authority.  Alex delves into the historical and grammatical context of the passage, exposes how it has been misused to justify oppressive regimes, and challenges us to reconsider our allegiance to worldly powers in light of God’s ultimate sovereignty. This conversation will help you navigate the delicate balance between obedience to earthly authorities and unwavering faithfulness to the Kingdom of God.

    Is Sola Scriptura Bibleworthy? - interview with author Ben Witherington III

    What do we really mean when we say the Bible is our final authority? Why don't we consult the Bible when learning to hit a golf ball or changing the oil on our car? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Ben Witherington III—world-renowned New Testament scholar, author of over 60 books, and the man who’s written a commentary on every New Testament book—to tackle the doctrine of Sola Scriptura: Scripture's Final Authority in the Modern World. Ben shows us where scripture draws the line—and how culture keeps trying to blur it. This podcast will clearly define what Sola Scriptural is and isn't.   I will be teaching this to all my kids.
