I uploaded this on my channel earlier this year, but I decided to re-upload it in memory of a friend that suddenly and shockingly passed away. I reflected and prayed on the tragedy and the aftermath and decided to write this to reach others and let them know that if there’s anyone out there that has these dark struggles- that there’s hope. True hope that doesn’t fade or let you down. You’re not alone. Jesus didn’t come to Earth to not know how it feels to be human. God became His creation. He’s not a god that is far away, far from suffering and human pain. He entered into this mess, and He’s in your mess. No matter what you’ve done He loves and will forgive you. It’s not an empty victory, filled with endless desolate affirmations and a god that doesn’t know how to handle our mountain of sin or doesn't care about your pain. This is what true victory looks like.
In many ways I wanted this to demonstrate the Old and New Covenants. God became His own creation to pay the just penalty for sin that we could never pay. He took our place, the righteous for the unrighteous. *This* is the atonement. I mean... wow. "For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God."- 2 Corinthians 5:21.
I filmed this with three different cameras, over six hours of footage. The editing itself was a total rollercoaster, wild and unpredictable. To me, the video is just as much art as the painting itself. I hope you all enjoy it. I worked very hard on it.

I talked with the one and only Greg Koukl about Street Smarts, his new book. It's a sort of sequel to Tactics, a previous book he wrote about strategically maneuvering conversations about Christianity. If you're scared to talk to others about your faith, this video is for you.

Micah Wilder was raised a faithful Latter-Day Saint, or LDS which some people might know better as ‘Mormon’. He is a co-founder of Adams Road ministry, a music ministry that is performed at over 1000 churches across the U.S. He briefly attended Brigham Young University, and at the age of 19 went on a two year mission in Florida for the Mormon church. In this interview, we discuss his book, "Passport to Heaven." This book tells of his incredible Journey of finding the grace of the biblical Gospel of Jesus Christ while serving on his mission. I've shared excerpts of Micah's book the last few weeks and was honored to be able to sit and talk with him about his book and his love for the Mormon people.
I also share some of my insights and experiences with reading the book as well as my hope for the impact it will have on future readers.
As always, there are *so* many things to discuss about this topic, so I hope our conversation is helpful and fruitful.

Technically, it's two verses.
Psalm 82:6 and John 10:34. Are you gods? If you ever come in contact with a New Ager, I can say with some degree of certainty that they will bring up these verses as supposed proof texts of their divinity. You need to be equipped to know what these verses actually mean.

Grab your potatoes, Snapple, and coffee beans. Another round of average jokes, random fun facts, and jollification (yes that's a real word that I've been trying to use for over a year now) is coming your way.
I just loved making my last video so much that I thought I’d help you be even MORE mediocrely interesting at your next social gathering by sharing even MORE things I wish I’d known as a New Christian.

I'm talking with Sean McDowell about what it means to be a "rebel" in today's world. There used to be a time when Christian moral standards were considered good. Now it seems the teachings of Jesus are increasingly regarded as hateful, bigoted, harmful, close-minded, and cruel. Depression and loneliness are everywhere. Fatherlessness and divorce are off the charts. People everywhere are addicted to pornography and social media. Racial tensions are the highest I've ever seen in my lifetime. Now with Roe V. Wade, our culture is more divided than ever. How are we expected to make the right choices? I talk with Sean about his book, a Rebel's Manifesto, which speaks to these issues.

In addition to new age confusion in the church, sexual, moral, and theological confusion abound in our culture. Christ-followers are called to combat these false ideas that stand in the way of the Gospel. To effectively engage with this post-Christian culture, you will need a deeply integrated understanding of theology, philosophy, and apologetics—the bedrock of a degree from Southern Evangelical Seminary and Bible College (SES). SES is actually where I currently attend, and they offer accredited degrees and certificates that use this integrated approach to equip you to proclaim the Gospel, engage the culture, and defend the truth.
