Does the Bible’s condemnation of homosexual practice mean that Christianity is hateful toward gay people?In this teaching episode, Joel Settecase explains why biblical Christianity is not anti-gay, but anti-sin—and why that distinction matters.The Christian message did not arise as a reaction to the modern LGBTQ movement.

#235 Morality Question: Does Saving the Mother Ever Require Killing the Baby?

#231 If God Is Obvious, Why Are There So Many Religions?
If God is real and His existence is obvious, why are there so many religions—and why doesn’t everyone believe in Him?In this episode, Joel Settecase answers one of the most common objections to Christianity by turning to Romans 1.The Bible does not teach that God is hidden or that people simply lack enough evidence. Instead, it says that God has made Himself known through creation. His eternal pow
#230 | Debate Highlight: Stop Letting the Skeptic Set the Rules
Why do some skeptics keep demanding more evidence—no matter how much evidence Christians provide?In this episode, Joel Settecase explains the difference between skeptic-first apologetics and Scripture-first apologetics.Apologetics is the discipline of defending the truth of the Christian message.

#226 How Christians Should Respond to “That’s Homophobic”
What does the word “homophobic” actually mean—and why is it so effective at shutting down conversations?In this episode, Joel Settecase examines the clever trap hidden inside this emotionally charged label. When Christians affirm the Bible’s teaching about sex and marriage, they are often accused of fear, hatred, or prejudice before their actual beliefs are even considered.But name-calling is not

#222 Orthobro vs. Protestant Christian Debate Over Scripture: Who Has Final Authority?
An Eastern Orthodox caller asks, “On what standard do you say Orthodoxy is false?” Joel Settecase turns the authority question back around, pressing whether councils, synods, Church Fathers, and tradition can define their own limits.
