In this week’s podcast, Michael Lane discusses the topic of genealogy in the Bible from the Florida Keys as he leads students on the 2025 Marine Biology trip! In Biblical times, genealogy was so important to show the lineage of families. To the Israelites it’s still very important piece of their culture. Skeptics and critics will use these two genialities as evidence that the Bible cannot be trusted because they are different. Tune in and discover the reasoning why it’s important that Jesus has two different genealogies. CREDITS: Developed & Hosted by Michael Lane. Produced & Edited by Isabel Kolste.

The bronze spear of Philistine champion Goliath is said to be an astounding 12.7 feet long and weigh 33 pounds! In the final episode of Part 2: Goliath in the “David & The Giants” series, Michael Lane deepens our understanding of Goliath’s weapons described in 1 Samuel 17:4-7 with evidence found in Israel. Scholars have analyzed the weapons discovered in Kfar Monash, concluding that the weapons would be more of an obstacle for the warrior using them, rather than an aid. Thus, these weapons would be too large for someone of a normal size, and these provide more evidence that there were giants like Goliath. Visit Michael as he gives us a tour of Goliath’s weapons hung in the Evidence 4 Faith studio.

An Israeli farmer in 1962 was plowing his field one day and came upon a miraculous discovery: Enormous, oversized pieces of weapons and armor. In the fifth episode of Part: 2 in the “David & The Giants” series, Michael Lane first lays out the Biblical description of the Philistine’s battle attire, and then adds support to this Biblical account with archaeological evidence found in Israel. 1 Samuel 17:5-7 in the Bible tells us that Goliath wore a helmet, a 140 pound coat of five thousand shekels, and a javelin. Findings in Kfar Monash match these descriptions of oversized weapons and armor, including pieces of daggers, axes, and spearheads, which are now featured in museums of Israel. Visit the E4F studio with Michael to dive into God’s Word and explore modern-day discoveries that add support to Goliath’s story.

We let the stones speak for themselves about the evidence of King David. In this second episode of the “David & The Giants” series, Michael Lane unpacks fascinating details surrounding the Mesha Stele, a stone found in the country of Jordan. What does it reveal to us? The name David appears inscripted on the stone, proving his existence, and it was not something added by Christians later on in modern times to make people believe in David. Enter the E4F studio with Michael to uncover the inscriptions about King David and the battle recorded in 2 Kings 3 between King Mesha of Moab and King Omri of Israel.

Archaeologists have spent decades uncovering fascinating evidence that proves the existence of royal residence in the Bible. In the fifth episode of the “David & The Giants” series, Michael Lane builds up our account of King David’s existence with evidence found by archaeologists in the city of David. What did they find? In the 1920s, archaeologists R.A.S. Macalister and J. Garrow Duncan began digging in Jerusalem and found massive walls of some type of building. Fast forward to the 1960s, archaeologists found things like broken pottery that indicated the structure was grand, most likely a royal palace dating back to 10th and 11th century B.C.

For many years, scholars thought Geshur was a mythical city. In the final episode of Part: 1 in the “David & The Giants” series, Michael Lane adds support of King David’s existence by providing evidence for the location of an Old Testament Kingdom of Geshur and its capital. According to the Bible, the city of Geshur is the location in which King David’s son fled, to the north and the south of The Sea of Galilee. Archaeologists have excavated various lands throughout history to discover the true location of Geshur, and Dr. Steven Notley suggests a site that fits what the Biblical description relays, reflecting what we are seeing with archaeology and other ancient sources. Visit the E4F studio with Michael and learn how the city of Geshur adds support for the existence of King David.

Goliath was no myth of the Bible. In the first episode of Part 2: Goliath in the “David & The Giants” series, Michael Lane adds support to the existence of Goliath by taking us through 1 Samuel 17:4-7 in the Word of God. According to the Bible, Goliath is a Philistine champion of Gath. Notice that Goliath is a Philistine? It is important to understand the Philistines as a whole to give context for who Goliath is as a person.

The Bible reveals fascinating context for the story of Goliath. In the second episode of Part 2: Goliath in the “David & The Giants” series, Michael Lane gives us greater context in support of Goliath’s existence by unpacking the giant’s place of origin. According to God's Word, Goliath came from the city of Gath, one of the five royal cities of the Philistines. Gath was unusual compared to other Philistine cities with its massive stones measuring at least two meters, covering 123.5 acres. Today the city of Gath dwells in modern day Israel.

Archaeology helps add support to the existence of Philistine champion Goliath. In the third episode of Part 2: Goliath in the “David & The Giants” series, Michael Lane invites us to consider what evidence we have found on earth that unlocks the mystery concerning Goliath. Back in November of 2005, archaeologists were working on a dig in Gath and found a broken piece of clay, a shard. This discovery hit major news networks worldwide as it helps prove the existence of the Philistine: It is inscribed with the name Goliath. Archaeologists soon discovered this shard fits back in the time period of King David and King Saul. Visit the E4F studio with Michael and build up your apologetics toolbox with this fascinating archaeological artifact.

One of Goliath’s most notable attributes is his tall height. In the fourth episode of Part 2: Goliath in the “David & The Giants” series, Michael Lane invites us to explore what the Bible says about Goliath’s considerable stature. According to the ESV Bible (English Standard Version), the intimidating warrior stood at about 3.14 meters, or 11 feet 2 inches. In light of this height stated in the ESV, Goliath is described to stand at a different height in other Bible translations. Thus, this lesson unpacks logic to add support to Goliath’s true height.

Many evolutionists have come forward over the years to question the evidence in favor of Darwinian Evolution. In Episode 1 of the “Unpacking Darwinian Evolution” podcast series, former evolutionist turned Christian Michael Lane lays out foundational arguments he formerly believed related to the evolution theory. Along the way, Michael examines quotes from three leading figures who also considered the validity of transitional fossils, from late evolutionary biologist Dr. Stephen J. Gould, former director of The Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago Dr. David Raup, and famous paleontologist and evolutionist of the London Museum of Natural History Dr. Colin Patterson. Join Michael in the E4F studio and unpack the theory of evolution to build up your defense of the living Creator.

Did you know that wisdom teeth are used to support the theory of Darwinian Evolution? In Episode 2 of the “Unpacking Darwinian Evolution” podcast series, former evolutionist turned Christian Michael Lane adds support for why wisdom teeth are not vestigial organs and an evolutionary leftover. Many evolutionists claim that because we evolved from a lower ancestor millions of years ago, some evolutionary leftovers remain with us. They claim that we know our teeth evolved more slowly than the jaw, and one of these leftovers are wisdom teeth. Join Michael in the E4F studio and examine the observable science of wisdom teeth and how it fails to support Darwinian Evolution.

Many biology textbooks claim that the appendix, a vestigial organ, is a leftover evolutionary part of the human body. In Episode 3 of the “Unpacking Darwinian Evolution” podcast series, former evolutionist turned Christian Michael Lane provides evidence from various research articles to show how the appendix is in fact helpful for the body given by God, not an evolutionary leftover which came by chance. The appendix is part of our immune system, and it possesses lymphoid tissue, playing a role in antibody production. Join Michael in the E4F studio and examine how the appendix in humans is not a digestive organ, but an important construct in a wonderful design by our Creator God.

In this episode, we dive into a popular talking point in evolutionary biology—vestigial organs. Once hailed as "proof" of Darwinian evolution, organs like the human tonsils were commonly cited as leftover structures with no real purpose. But is that really true? Join us as we explore how this claim made its way into classrooms and textbooks—and why it’s being challenged even today. Whether you're a science enthusiast, skeptic, or just curious, this episode will give you a thought-provoking look at how the tonsils are understood to be part of God’s incredible and purposeful design for the human body.

For years, biology textbooks claimed the coccyx was a useless leftover from our evolutionary past—evidence of a tail we no longer need. Skeptics often wondered how people refused to accept Darwin and his scientific fact that life descended from lower animals. But is that really the case? In this episode, we explore the real purpose of the coccyx, debunk the myth of it being a "vestigial tail," and uncover how even the tiniest parts of our anatomy point to our Creator.

Many claim the spleen is a vestigial organ—a leftover from our evolutionary past with no real purpose today. But is that true? In this episode, we explore how the spleen is actually a vital part of the human body, pointing not to a purposeless evolutionary leftover, but to the intentional design of our Creator.
