In today's episode we jump in the time machine and head back to the days of the Reformation. In the first part of a two part series we journey with Luther from the cradle (1483) to the castle (1517).

Along the way we consider the problems with a do-it-yourself theology, the issue of indulgences, and why we need the Gospel more than ever.

Every human being on earth experiences longing, or a strong wish or desire for something to happen. But where does that longing come from? And why is it so universal in all of us?

Join us for episode 16, as we take a journey through the topic of Christian longing. As the episode unfolds, we will discover what our sure and lasting hope is—eternal life in a good and perfect land with God. Our hope is that through this discovery, you might be able to see how all of our earthly longings are merely echoes and reverberations of our greatest longing, which is fulfilled in Christ alone. Here, hope reigns.

In today's episode, we continue our conversation around the topic of apologetics, the reasoned defense of the Christian faith, and we ask the question, "what reasons do we have to believe in the God of the Bible?"

Contrary to popular opinion, Christianity is not a religion that calls its adherents to merely exercise blind faith, but it backs up that faith with good reason and evidence. What we stand on is worth standing on, and we can be confident in what we believe. We hope this episode both encourages and equips you, so that you may say along with C.S. Lewis, "I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else."
