Living a wholesome life is not living one of ease and entitlement, but rather one refined by fire in relationship with God. Reality is undefeated. On this podcast, we discuss topics from politics and sciences to apologetics and theology and everything in between, discussing the patterns and goodness of God - how humanity has sought to live an easy life or become God in their own lives, while God desires that we live an abundant life surrendered to Him. The only way to hold awe and wonder and reality in the same hand is to follow after Him.

    Ep. 9 - Gen Z is Not (Totally) Cooked, Why Subjective Truth Fails to Provide Meaning

    There is a renewed interest in things that matter, long lasting things, among young people. this has been seen in church attendance and bible purchases, but now it's also being seen on the Harvard campus, it's just expressed differently.

    Ep. 8 - School Closures and Birth Rate, Parenthood Mind Shift, What Happens in a Childless Society

    The birth rate has been falling for some time, and now the public school system has begun to close down many schools as a result. Has the world forgotten about the beauty of parenthood? We evaluate what might be causing public schools to close down and why they have potentially shot themselves in the foot. Then we look at what the Bible says about children and talk about the impact of being a parent while following Jesus.

    Ep. 7 - The Beauty of American Grit (What Does the Bible Say about Hard Work?)

    The election season special! (Sort of) We often forget about the pioneers and the grit required to do what they did. Colorado was built by individuals with a vision, and it does us some good to remember how difficult life was before modern luxuries. A little perspective never hurt anybody right? It should change and influence the way we vote and view life.

    Ep. 6 - Quantum Physics and the Bible Have an Unexpected Connection

    At first glance, quantum physics and the Bible are probably two completely separate topics in your mind. But, as we live in a created world, science and math tend to prove the existence of a creator. Let's go down a rabbit hole of ridiculous science and mathematics together! After all, reality is undefeated, and in this case, it's kinda fun.

    Ep. 5 - A Colorado Native on Colorado Politics (From a Biblical Worldview)

    Colorado is quickly changing as a state, and the problem is not primarily political. Instead, there is a push to fundamentally change the state's identity. Here we will expand on an article written in the Wall Street Journal about how Colorado quickly became a state bringing big cases to the Supreme Court, and why it matters.

    Ep. 4 - They're Lying About Socialism (God has a Better Way)

    Socialism is a historical failure, but we are constantly bombarded with manipulations and support for its ideology without us even realizing it. Here are three ways Christians can be manipulated into thinking it is good and biblical, why they're wrong, and why the Lord's way is better. Reality is undefeated, and it's a lot better than you might think it is.

    Ep. 3 - The Attack on the Experience of Awe

    Reasoning seems to be going out the window in a lot of circumstances, why? What happens in the world when the human experience of awe is disabled or inhibited? How is this detrimental to us as a society? What does it mean for believers and non-believers alike? We talk about this and more on today's episode of The Refinery.

    Ep. 2 - AI and Christianity, How Should We React?

    AI is quickly becoming a very large topic of both discussion and concern. With CEOs and researchers publicly voicing concern, we need to understand that God's sovereignty and goodness are revealed even in times of difficulty. How should Christians live in a world so influenced by AI? Here are a few thoughts on the matter.
