Hello, Bereus listeners—this is Ryan. I want to let you know that I'm adding this episode as a bonus to our current science and faith series. I'm addressing a simple but important question: How Should Believers Use AI? I'm inserting this episode now for three reasons. First, I see this as a topic that we, as Christians, should be well-educated on. Second, I want to offer a clear starting point for that education. And third, the topic is relevant now. AI has, and is shaping how we live and work. I'll explain exactly what I mean in this episode of Bereus.

One common misconception is that all creationist Christians believe the earth was created in six literal 24-hour days and is only about six thousand years old. But that's not the only perspective. Old Earth Creationists take a broader view of the age of the Earth and also the universe. So what exactly does that mean? Let's explore it in this episode of Bereus. In A Minute for the Image of God, Ryan discusses what it means to love your enemy as stated in Matthew 5:43-44.

In this episode, Ryan talks about young-earth creationism and why he rejects this interpretation of the creation account. In A Minute for the Image of God, Ryan examines Mark 12:30-31 and what loving your neighbor means.

How do you define evolution? The answer might not be as simple as you think. In my study of the topic, I've come across more than half a dozen different definitions of evolution. Some of them are perfectly compatible with the Christian faith—others, not so much. So what are these definitions, and what do they actually mean? Find out in this episode of Bereus.

Also, Ryan begins the mini-series "A Minute for the Image of God." Focusing on Genesis 1:26-27, and 5:1-2.

A common claim is that religion has caused more war, violence, and death than
any other institution in history. But is there actual evidence to support this idea?
Are there credible sources that document it? And most importantly, is it true? Find
out in this episode of Bereus. In A Minute for Jesus Ryan talks about how Jesus described marriage In Matthew 19.

Have you ever heard someone say in a church service or during a conversation with a Christian friend that all the Apostles died as martyrs for their belief in the resurrection of Jesus? It's a common claim that's been repeated over the years. But what evidence supports this idea? In this episode of Bereus, we'll explore the truth behind it. In a Minute for Jesus, Ryan discusses the Hypostatic Union and how it relates to John 1:15

Different groups question whether key historical figures in the Bible ever existed. For instance, those who believe Jesus is purely a myth are called "mythicists." Additionally, in the past, some scholars—known as "minimalists"—claimed that only a small portion of the Bible's historical accounts, or none at all, is true. They often questioned the existence of figures like Pontius Pilate or David, pointing to a lack of archaeological evidence at the time. But do these views still hold up with the evidence we have today? Stick around as we explore that question on this episode of Bereus. Also, in A Minute for Jesus, Ryan discusses the Hypostatic Union, citing John 1.

There is a false theory that someone stole Jesus's body as an alternative explanation to the resurection. But does that theory hold up? Find out in this episode of Bereus. In A Minute for Jesus, Ryan talks about Mark 14:62 and Psalm 110:1.
