World-class philosopher J.P. Moreland and Global Scholars CEO Stan Wallace discuss how Christians can better follow the often-neglected aspect of Jesus' greatest commandment--loving God with all our minds (Luke 10:27). We also discuss how doing so results in a deepening relationship with Christ and greater influence for Christ.

#20: What’s Real and Why Does it Matter?
What is real? This has been a defining question in our modern era. How should a thinking Christian answer this question? J.P. and Stan describe the foundational beliefs and distinctions necessary for addressing this central issue in grace and truth. In this podcast, we discuss:What is a property? What are some examples of properties? How is this question related to what truth is, the Incarnation, and so much more?Why is it not commonplace to assume properties exist? How underlying assumptions impact beliefs about what is real.What is a “universal”? How do we experience universals and why would a person reject them?What is the difference between physicalism and naturalism? How are they similar? What would people with these views of reality believe to be real?Why do some believers reject universals on theological grounds? Are they right?What is nominalism? What are the various types of nominalists?Why is it important to work hard at understanding ideas that don’t seem to have immediate practical value?Resources mentioned during our conversation:Stan Wallace, “Three Reasons to Believe in Things You Can’t See”J.P.

#18: Why it Matters That Jesus Was Really and Fully Human
In this podcast we discuss why the Incarnation is so important, and how the ever-present idea of Gnosticism impacts our view of the incarnation of Christ. We discuss why Christians should reject the view that the material world is evil, and how to embrace the material world in a God-honoring way.
In this podcast we discuss:
Why does it matter that Jesus came to earth as a human person?
How can a shift in our understanding about the incarnation help us participate in the miraculous works of Christ in our everyday lives?
What is Gnosticism and why does our response to gnostic ideas matter?
How do some private “revelations” from God fit into a gnostic worldview? What are the dangers of private revelations of Scripture?
In what ways has Gnosticism impacted our Christian subculture?
Why is it important to make distinctions between the use or abuse of gifts given by God?
How can Christianity dignify the appreciation and study of and material world?
What are a few of the many implications for Christians who embrace a view that the material world is bad and should be escaped?
How can physical space orient a worshiper and point to the connections between the physical and spiritual world?

#12: The Problem of Nihilism
As we watch the invasion of Ukraine in horror, we wonder what could possess Putin to use force so ruthlessly and indiscriminately. At least part of the answer lies in a philosophy of life that runs back through many other despots and finds it roots in the writings on Nietzsche.

In this podcast we discuss:
What is Nihilism?
Nihilism in the trajectory of history
How Nihilism follows from the rejection of objective values and meaning
How Fredrick Nietzsche and his ideas impact culture
What Ecclesiastes says about Nihilism
How to spot Nihilism in popular culture
The “Ubermensch” according to Nietzsche and in history

How to have a meaningful conversation with someone who accepts Nihilism
The importance of committing to understand ideas as ambassadors in our culture

#11: Is New Always Better? The Temptation to be a Chronological Snob
C.S. Lewis defined chronological snobbery as “...the uncritical acceptance of the intellectual climate of our age and the assumption that whatever has gone out of date is on that count discredited.” In this podcast, Stan and JP talk about this idea as a danger to Christians seeking to become mature in their faith, practical tips to wisely discern the value of old ideas, and how to rethink some of our modern assumptions.In this podcast we discuss: The idea of “chronological snobbery”The necessity of reading beyond our own time and placeHow our cultural chronological snobbery thwarts our search for happiness in the modern eraWhat it means to be a “dinosaur” and why we, like C.S.

#7: What is the Soul, and Why Should We Care?
A famous hymn is titled “It Is Well With My Soul.” What is this mysterious thing we refer to often, but have a hard time defining and an even harder time understanding?
