Episode 12 provides a summary of the entire series titled, “Faith Doesn’t Have to Be Blind.” Christianity isn't just a bunch of rules, but a relationship with Jesus based on certain core truths: God created us to worship Him; we've sinned and need a Savior. All religions make exclusive claims, but they contradict each other so they can’t all be true. Everyone has to decide what they believe because everyone has to live their lives one way or the other. Apologetics provides a rational defense that Christianity's beliefs about God's existence and Jesus' resurrection are objectively true. Many people have decided to believe after hearing the compelling evidence for Jesus. You can learn apologetics and be prepared to share these life-transforming truths in a winsome manner.

What would it take for people to believe that aliens exist? The answer to that question is affected by the fact that some people require more proof and some people require less. That’s because what counts as “proof” for one person, is not necessarily “proof” for another. The same type of thing applies to people believing that Christianity is true. What counts as “proof” for one person is not necessarily “proof” for another. So that makes it quite difficult to prove Christianity is true to everyone’s satisfaction. However, there is still a very good case to be made for faith in Jesus. To explore this case some more, check out the LIT series titled "Faith Doesn't Have to be Blind" by Worldview Summit.

Neil DeGrasse Tyson claims religious truths are just personal truths, no different than opinions about Elvis Presley. But is he right? No. Not according to the teachings of the religions themselves. Furthermore, their founders and early followers were willing to suffer for what they declared. This means they regarded their religious teachings as objective truths; not subjective, personal opinions. Tyson fails to understand the nature of religious claims by classifying them as mere “personal truths.” Learn more by watching "Faith Doesn't Have to be Blind" from Worldview Summit.

The church needs a wake-up call as Christianity is increasingly seen as false and Christians as bad people. Many Christians can't articulate their faith when challenged and young people with doubts fail to get good answers, often causing them to lose faith. Learning apologetics helps equip Christians to winsomely articulate why Jesus is the truth and how he can change lives. Everyone will face big questions about life requiring good answers. Start learning from resources like LIT and be part of the solution.

In this video, we continue our discussion on how faith and reason interact. We address the objection that if someone’s faith is built on an argument (i.e. reason), it could unravel later on if someone encounters a counter-argument that they don’t know how to refute. There are two ways of addressing this problem. The first way is to articulate the difference between knowing Christianity to be true, versus showing it to be true. We can know Christianity is true through the inward witness of the Holy Spirit. But we can show it is true through the use of arguments and reason. The second way of addressing this issue is to point out that if someone comes to believe, not through reason, but because of some other factor, that other factor could also “unravel” in the future. For example, someone might be drawn to Jesus because of the love shown by his followers. But then that same person could also reject Jesus at some later point because of the hypocrisy displayed by Christians.

Faith is central to Christianity, but what role does reason play? There are good reasons to believe in God, even if those reasons don't provide 100% certainty. And those reasons do not undermine genuine faith, instead they complement and support it. Just like you can acknowledge all the evidence for airplanes, but you still need faith that a particular airplane will get you to a destination; so you can recognize all the evidence for God's existence and Jesus' resurrection, but you still need to personally put your faith in Jesus.

Jordan Monge went on an incredible journey from atheism to faith in Jesus while studying at Harvard University. Through an ongoing conversation with a fellow student named John Joseph Porter, she realized that Christianity had a lot more going for it than she realized.

Have you ever woken up in the middle of the night, unable to move, and sensing a terrifying presence in your room? It's a bone-chilling phenomenon reported worldwide. In a recent TIME magazine article, the author sought to explain these experiences by attributing them to natural mechanisms found in the brain. However, the author never really considered the possibility of a supernatural explanation. Learn more about why we should take the supernatural realm seriously.

Atheists like to characterize religious people as having "faith." But they have a type of faith as well. You could even say that for some atheists, they have an unassailable faith.

Are you a “none?” Many people today claim to have no religious affiliation. Indeed there are so many religions and so many ways to look at reality it is difficult to commit to any one viewpoint. But these questions of ultimate reality cannot be put off forever. At some point in your life, you will have to make a choice. Even not choosing will be a choice in the end. Here we begin to look at the story of Anjali Kumar and her quest to answer those ultimate questions.

Some people look at the religions of the world and have a hard time deciding which is correct. They don't conclude that any religion is false but they're not sure that any religion is true. So they see themselves as neutral, undecided, or agnostic. But the truth is we all have to decide. We all decide because our lives show what we've chosen.

The core message of Christianity consists of four main points: 1. God loves us and he created us to worship and glorify him. 2. We have failed to worship and obey God. 3. In his death and resurrection, Jesus paid the penalty for our sins and therefore we can be forgiven by God. 4. We each need to make Jesus the Saviour and Lord of our lives. Christian apologists defend these four points in various ways. One way is that used by Dr. William Lane Craig in which he provides several arguments for the existence of God, and also historical arguments for Jesus' resurrection from the dead. To see more about how Craig defends his arguments, you can check out his debates by searching for him on YouTube.

When some Christians first learn about apologetics they can get excited about "proving" that Christianity is true. But "proving" that it's true is not as simple as it might sound. It's not that Christianity lacks sound evidence. (There is plenty of evidence.) The problem is that what counts as proof to one person, does not count as proof to another. This is especially apparent in the case of Richard Dawkins. When he was asked what would persuade him that God existed, he responded with "I'm starting to think that nothing would." If nothing can persuade an atheist like Dawkins, that should demonstrate how difficult it is to "prove" that Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life.

Stand-up comedian, George Carlin, says that God does not exist and that the Bible is (essentially) a book of fairy tales. Apologetics is all about examining and critiquing these types of claims. The Bible says in 1 Peter 3:15 that Christians should always be prepared to give an answer for the hope that is in them. When Christians use apologetics to engage people with “gentleness and respect,” they take the time to understand what other people believe, care about them as individuals, and respectfully challenge their ideas. Many professors and scholars use “apologetics” in a negative sense but that is not how apologists understand the term.

Neil DeGrasse Tyson alleges that when the religions of the world claim certain things to be true, they are just declaring “personal truths.” However, this is a perversion of what those religions are all about. For example, Islam’s adherence to strict monotheism is certainly not something that Muslims regard as a mere subjective, personal claim. This can be seen from the fact that the earliest Muslims were willing to suffer for their beliefs. Some Muslims will also kill, or threaten to kill, those who leave Islam. But that is not the type of behaviour one would expect from someone who thinks their religion is just a “personal truth,” akin to one’s favourite flavour of ice cream. This fact even applies to those religions, such as Hinduism and Bahaism, which claim that all religions are true. That is, when they say that all religions are true, they are making an objective claim about all of reality. These claims are either true or false. Anything less is a distortion of what they are all about.

Neil DeGrasse Tyson claims that "religious truths" are just "personal truths." If this was correct, it would put Christian truth claims such as, "Jesus rose from the dead," in the same category as claims such as, "Bubble ice cream is the best flavour in the whole world." But this is a serious distortion of what the Bible teaches and how Christians have always understood their own beliefs. Jesus, his disciples, and generations of Christians, have been willing to suffer and die for what they held to be true. That's not something that people will do for personal, subjective truths akin to one's favourite flavour of ice cream. Tyson's view of religious claims are disrespectful and a perversion of what Christianity is all about.

Michael Shermer alleges that the arguments and evidence for Christianity only convinces those that already believe. But this is not true. Many people have examined the evidence and changed their minds. Sometimes they go all the way and become a follower of Jesus, and sometimes they just take steps in that direction. One example of this is the late Antony Flew. Flew was a professional philosopher and committed atheist who became known as a spokesperson for atheism. However, toward the end of his life he began to have doubts and he eventually concluded that some type of divine being existed.

Michael Shermer alleges that the arguments and evidence for Christianity only convinces those that already believe. But this is not true. Many people have examined the evidence and decided to put their faith in Jesus. One example of this is Jordan Monge who started her studies at Harvard University as a committed atheist. While studying there she realized that the case for Christianity was a lot better than what she previously thought and so she decided to put her faith in Jesus.
