Christian faith is much more than just an emotional leap into the known. While it is not pure intellectualism, Christianity is a faith worth thinking about. In this podcast, Stephen Bedard speaks on matters of Christian apologetics, public theology, and recent events that intersect with faith.

    Why is Richard Carrier So Much Trouble For Christians?

    I hear from many Christians who are struggling in their faith because of the writings of Richard Carrier. Carrier is a prominent Jesus Mythicist who comes across as extremely confident that Jesus never existed. This video is not a response to Carrier's arguments but a reflection on why people are so troubled by Richard Carrier.You can get a copy of Unmasking the Pagan Christ at https://amzn.to/42CmRJ6 (Amazon affiliate link)Please visit me at http://www.jesusmyththeory.com and https://www.stephenjbedard.com/apologetics and consider supporting me at http://www.patreon.com/hopesreasonFollow me at http://www.x.com/sjbedard and http://www.facebook.com/hopesreason and http://www.instagram.com/sjbedard Visit my online store at https://www.stephenjbedard.com/store/

    Was Jesus Buried in a Tomb?

    I was sent a video created by  @Paulogia  in which he responds to three apologists that critique his doubts that Jesus was buried in a tomb. In my video, I provide not so much a systematic rebuttal but rather put things into historical perspective. I do not provide incontestable proof that Jesus was buried in the tomb of Joseph of Arimathea but rather why I believe it is most probable that tradition is correct.Please visit me at https://www.stephenjbedard.com/apologeticsConsider supporting me through http://www.patreon.com/hopesreasonFollow me ay http://www.x.com/sjbedard and http://www.facebook.com/hopesreason and http://www.instagram.com/sjbedard

    Are There Limits on Loving Our Neighbour?

    Some Christians have recently been pushing back on the command to love our neighbour. They point out concern that this could lead to tolerating sin and they suggest there are limits on how far this goes. In this video, I share my thoughts on what the Bible has to say about this.Visit me at http://www.stephenjbedard.comSupport me at http://www.patreon.com/hopesreasonFollow me at https://x.com/SJBedardFollow me at https://www.facebook.com/HopesReasonFollow me at https://www.instagram.com/sjbedard/
