    Love Thy Body: Interview with Prof. Nancy Pearcey | Lovin' Truth Podcast - Ep. 6

    Why is the Bible such a killjoy when it comes to issues like abortion, homosexuality, and casual sex/hookups? Why do Christians preach against these things? In this interview episode with Professor Nancy Pearcey, we discuss her book, which aptly addresses these questions from a biblical perspective, helping Christians engage with love and truth in these hot-button discussions and become more deeply rooted in their beliefs. Moving beyond a list of “Thou shalt nots,” this conversation uncovers the reasons behind what can often feel like the Bible’s buzzkill takes, revealing instead a life-giving vision that makes sense of God’s design, and exposing the nihilistic, self-deprecating secular worldview that is implicitly or explicitly held by those who engage in such behaviour. Nancy Pearcey is the author of Love Thy Body: Answering Hard Questions about Life and Sexuality, as well as The Toxic War on Masculinity, The Soul of Science, Saving Leonardo, Finding Truth, and two ECPA Gold Medallion Award Winners: How Now Shall We Live (coauthored with Harold Fickett and Chuck Colson) and Total Truth. Her books have been translated into 20 languages. She is professor and scholar in residence at Houston Christian University. A former agnostic, Pearcey has spoken at universities such as Princeton, Stanford, USC, and Dartmouth. She has been quoted in The New Yorker and Newsweek, highlighted as one of the five top women apologists by Christianity Today, and hailed in The Economist as "America's pre-eminent evangelical Protestant female intellectual."

    Uganda Martyrs: Saints or Spies? | Episode 5

    Welcome back from the Martyr’s Day Break. But! Were the Uganda Martyrs really saints or spies for the Europeans? Did missionaries like Alexander Mackay bring salvation—or colonialism wrapped in a white robe? This is a thought-provoking episode of Lovin Truth, and we sit down with Tonny Bukenya, a student at African Bible University with a deep passion for Ugandan Church history, to explore the truth behind the Martyrs’ legacy, the state of Buganda before the missionaries came, the role Europeans played in shaping faith and identity in Uganda, and what the Martyrs mean to the body of believers in Uganda. We also highlight the story of Alexander Mackay, a Scottish missionary and engineer whose sacrifice, commitment, and impact are deeply woven into the roots of Christianity in Uganda. — ✨ CONNECT & FOLLOW: 📸 Instagram: @lovintruthpodcast, @estherkabahenda 🎙️ Listen to the podcast: Spotify | Apple Podcasts | Google Podcasts 🎥 TikTok: @kabahenda 📌 Like, Comment, Subscribe & Share if this challenged or encouraged you. 📬 Got questions for Part 2?

    Why do you believe? | Episode 4

    Why are you a Christian or Muslim , Hindu, Buddhist ? Why do you follow after the African Traditional Religion? Why do you believe what you do? Or why do you not believe? This is a question as sensible as “Why do you choose that man or woman as spouse?” Or “Why do you go to school?” Or any other life defining question ever asked. Our beliefs influence our actions and thus have consequences. What are the consequences from your belief system? In this episode I share some Christian apologetics(defense/reasons for the faith), and evidence that there is a god at all….after all, “The fool says in his heart there’s no God” .

    In this episode I get to share a life changing testimony from my encounter with false prophets and the true Gospel and how that led me to my passion for sharing what I believe and why I believe it; through avenues like this podcast and more.

    Episode 2 - My Word of the Year 'Irk'

    I am too late to this party....of talking about the new year, but as I mentioned, I have been thinking about this awhile, I made sure to talk about it now rather than wait for the next earlier days of January.   I do not think it is evil to have a "theme for the year". above it all, God's word - the Bible, should be the most prominent theme for our lives every year all year.  Have a great 2023!  Listen on Anchor: https://anchor.fm/lovin-truth Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/download

    You do You, Boo(Live Your Truth)

    You do you, boo! Live your truth, girl!  We hear this statement a lot these days, (and not only among girls).  It’s kind of everywhere and for everyone.  A simple-sounding statement with multiple implications.  What does it really mean? What do we understand by this seemingly innocuous phrase, this mantra that underlies several catastrophic incidents started by the human race?  Listen and find out.
