    Why Christians Read an Ancient Book

    Why Christians Read an Ancient Book The Bible is ancient. It was written thousands of years ago, by dozens of different authors, in different languages and cultures. So why do Christians today still read it, trust it, and call it the Word of God? In this episode of Church Folks, we take an honest look at why Christians believe the Bible is trustworthy. We explore the historical evidence behind the biblical manuscripts, the Dead Sea Scrolls, the formation of the New Testament canon, and the testimony of early Christian writers. But more importantly, we look at what the Bible says about itself, and what it means for Scripture to be the God-breathed Word that teaches, corrects, shapes, and transforms us. The Bible may be an ancient book, but Christians believe its message is anything but outdated. God has spoken. And if God has spoken, we should listen.

    Why Christians Sing

    Why do Christians sing every week? Is it just tradition, or is there something deeper going on? In this first episode of our new Why Christians... series, we explore one of the most recognizable parts of Christian worship. From the Psalms to the prison cell of Paul and Silas to the throne room of heaven, the Bible reveals that singing isn't just music, it's a response to the greatness of God. Join us as we discover why Christians have always been a singing people, why worship shapes our hearts, and why Jesus is always worthy of our praise, no matter our circumstances.

    How Can You Believe in Heaven and Hell?

    Heaven is a comforting thought for many people—but hell is one of the most difficult and controversial teachings of Christianity. How could a loving God allow hell to exist? Is eternal judgment really compatible with a God of love? In this final episode of 10 Questions, we tackle the question: “How Can You Believe in Heaven and Hell?” Drawing from Rebecca McLaughlin's 10 Questions Every Teen Should Ask (and Answer) About Christianity and the teachings of Jesus, we explore what the Bible actually says about eternity, God's justice, and His incredible offer of salvation. We'll discuss: Why Jesus spoke so often about both heaven and hell? How God's justice and His love work together, not against each other? Why heaven and hell are about more than simply "good people" and "bad people"? What the cross reveals about the seriousness of sin and the depth of God's love? The biblical hope of eternal life in the presence of God through Jesus Christ. This episode doesn't shy away from difficult questions, but it also doesn't leave us without hope. At the heart of the Christian message isn't condemnation, it's an invitation. God has made a way for sinners to be forgiven, restored, and welcomed into His eternal kingdom through faith in Jesus Christ. As we conclude the 10 Questions series, we're reminded that the greatest question isn't simply whether heaven and hell are real, it's what we will do with the One who conquered death and offers eternal life to all who trust in Him.

    Does God Care When We Hurt?

    If God is loving, why do we experience so much pain? It's one of the oldest and most personal questions anyone can ask. Whether it's grief, illness, disappointment, anxiety, or the loss of someone we love, suffering has a way of making us wonder if God is really there—or if He really cares. In this episode of 10 Questions, we explore the question: “Does God Care When We Hurt?” Drawing from Rebecca McLaughlin's 10 Questions Every Teen Should Ask (and Answer) About Christianity and the hope of Scripture, we look at what the Bible says about suffering, God's heart for those who are hurting, and the hope found in Jesus Christ. We'll discuss: Why the Bible doesn't ignore or minimize human suffering? What Jesus' own life and death reveal about God's compassion? Why pain exists in a world created by a good God? How the cross demonstrates God's love for broken people? The hope Christians have that one day God will make all things new. This episode doesn't offer easy answers or clichés. Instead, it points to the God who enters our pain, walks with us through it, and promises that suffering will not have the final word. If you've ever wondered where God is in the middle of your hurt, this conversation is for you.

    Who Cares If You're a Boy or a Girl?

    In a world that increasingly says gender is fluid, self-defined, and ultimately unimportant, many people are asking a deeper question: Does being male or female actually matter? In this episode of 10 Questions, we tackle the question: “Who Cares If You’re a Boy or a Girl?” Drawing from Rebecca McLaughlin’s 10 Questions Every Teen Should Ask (and Answer) About Christianity and the teaching of Scripture, we explore what the Bible says about identity, our bodies, and God’s design for humanity. We’ll discuss: Why the Bible begins with God creating humanity as male and female. Whether our identity is something we discover, create, or receive. Why Christianity has a surprisingly high view of the human body. How Christians should respond with both truth and compassion in conversations about gender and identity. Why our deepest identity is found not in our feelings, our struggles, or even our gender—but in being made in the image of God and loved by Christ. This episode isn’t about winning culture wars or dismissing real struggles. It’s about thoughtfully asking what it means to be human and whether God’s design for us is actually good. Join us as we consider one of the most important questions of our day: If God created us intentionally, could our identity be something greater than we’ve been told—and could our truest identity be found in Him?

    Why Can't We Just Agree That Love Is Love?

    Episode 7 Description: Why Can’t We Just Agree That Love Is Love? “Love is love.” It’s one of the most common and compelling phrases in our culture today. But what do we actually mean when we say it? Is love simply about sincere feelings and personal happiness, or is there something deeper that gives love its meaning and purpose? In this episode of 10 Questions, we tackle one of the most sensitive and important conversations of our time: “Why Can’t We Just Agree That Love Is Love?” Drawing from Rebecca McLaughlin’s 10 Questions Every Teen Should Ask (and Answer) About Christianity and the teachings of Scripture, we explore what the Bible says about love, relationships, identity, and God’s design for human flourishing. We’ll discuss: Why our culture has made romantic love central to identity The difference between love as a feeling and love as a commitment to another person’s good Why Christians believe truth and love belong together What the Bible teaches about sex, marriage, and human relationships Why following Jesus calls every person—not just some people—to surrender their desires to God How God’s definition of love might be bigger, deeper, and more beautiful than our culture often imagines This episode isn’t about winning arguments or attacking people. It’s about thoughtfully asking a deeper question: Who gets to define love—our feelings, our culture, or the God who created us?

    Hasn't Science Disproved Christianity?

    For many people, science and Christianity seem to be locked in a never-ending battle. The common assumption is that as science advances, faith becomes unnecessary. But is that really true? In this episode of 10 Questions, we explore the question: “Hasn’t Science Disproved Christianity?” Drawing from Rebecca McLaughlin’s 10 Questions Every Teen Should Ask (and Answer) About Christianity and the teachings of Scripture, we examine whether science and faith are actually enemies—or if they answer different kinds of questions altogether. We’ll discuss: Whether science and Christianity are truly in conflict. Why many of the pioneers of modern science were Christians? The difference between explaining how something works and why it exists. Whether miracles are incompatible with science? How the order and complexity of the universe point to deeper questions about reality? Why Christianity encourages thoughtful investigation rather than blind faith? Whether you're skeptical of Christianity, passionate about science, or simply curious about how the two fit together, this episode will challenge common assumptions and encourage you to think more deeply about the relationship between scientific discovery and belief in God. What if science hasn’t disproved Christianity at all—but instead helps us better understand the incredible universe God has made?

    How Can You Believe the Bible Is True?

    Can the Bible really be trusted? Or is it just an ancient book full of myths, contradictions, and outdated ideas? In this episode of 10 Questions, we tackle one of the most foundational questions about Christianity: “How can you believe the Bible is true?” Drawing from Rebecca McLaughlin’s 10 Questions Every Teen Should Ask (and Answer) About Christianity and Scripture itself, we explore why Christians throughout history have trusted the Bible as God’s Word. We’ll discuss: Whether the Bible has changed over time What to do with supposed contradictions Why the Bible’s historical grounding matters How Jesus viewed Scripture And why the entire story of the Bible centers on Christ This episode challenges listeners to move beyond surface-level assumptions and seriously consider the Bible’s claims for themselves. Whether you’re skeptical, curious, or growing in your faith, this conversation invites you to think critically and ask an even bigger question: What if the Bible is telling the truth about Jesus, and about us?
