One of the unsung heroes of the Nativity story is definite Joseph. In this episode, we take a closer look at just how extraordinary Joseph was and the criticism that he faced as he married a pregnant woman. When looking at Biblical narratives, it is vital to understand the historical setting, especially when it comes to the Mosaic Law. We hope this episode will encourage you to obey God’s Word even when culture looks down on you for it. Be encouraged this Christmas! God knows who is obeying Him and He will bring the truth to light one day. Merry Christmas from all of us at Christ, Culture, & Coffee.

Recently, Facebook executives announced the creation of the Metaverse. So what exactly is it? Well, in a nutshell, it is a virtual world, much like the fictional world in “Ready Player One”. With such a massive, new technology on the horizon, Christians need to know how to process it within a Christian Worldview. The Metaverse offers great opportunities to meet our culture where they are at with the Gospel, however, it also will present challenges that we need to be aware of. We hope that this episode will help you understand what the Metaverse is and how as Christians we can use it to further carry out the Great Commission.

Is science the answer to everything? Many in our culture seem to believe this, but it is far from the truth. In this episode, we take a look at one aspect of reality that science cannot explain: morality. Most people agree that there are objective moral truths, or right and wrongs, that apply to everyone. Because objective morality exists, a basic question that needs answering is: Where does morality come from? Science is inadequate to answer this question because science can only deal with the natural universe, and morality is an immaterial thing. Attempting to ground morality in biological evolution fails miserably. Theism offers a much better explanation of where morality came from. We hope that this episode will equip you to talk with others about your faith and provide compelling truths for a biblical worldview.

Is science the answer to everything? Many in our culture seem to believe this, but it is far from the truth. In this episode, we take a look at one aspect of reality that science cannot explain: the cause for the beginning of the Universe. Science is a great tool to measure the material world, but it is an adequate tool to measure anything outside of the natural realm. When it comes to understanding the immaterial world, we need different tools that are adequate for the job. We hope that this episode will equip you to talk with your friends and family who regard science as the best and only way to know things. Many of us will be around family and friends this holiday season, so it is a great time to prepare for some apologetic conversations! Science cannot explain everything. We need reason, logic, and metaphysics too.

What is Critical Theory? Many people talk about it and vilify it, but what exactly is it? If you don’t know what it is, don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. This episode is a crash course on the main points of Critical Theory (CT). You may be surprised to find out that CT is not only about race, but about gender, sexuality, age, weight, abilities, and a host of other things. As Christians, we need to evaluate these types of cultural viewpoints and compare them with a biblical worldview. We hope that this episode will give you a quick understanding of CT and also help you to see how it is incompatible with a biblical worldview. We are praying that you will use this information to help those around you understand the flaws of CT and how Christianity makes sense of the way the world actually is.

How should we approach prayer? This is a question that many Christians ask and, honestly, many struggle with. There are a lot of complicated aspects to prayer, but there is also simplicity in it. In this week’s episode, we interview Kyle DiRoberts about his new book “The Secret to Prayer”. We hope that this discussion will help you to approach prayer with humility and that it will also take away some of the confusion.

A common misconception within Christianity is that we are not allowed to doubt. This false belief has led many people down the path of deconstruction. The Church should be a place that invites doubt, transparency, and honest discussion. When we doubt in a Christian community, our faith can be strengthened. However, if we doubt in isolation, deconstruction often results. As the Church, we need to come together, express our doubts, and seek answers together as a community. In this episode, we look at Biblical examples of doubt and what principles we can glean from them. We propose that doubting can strengthen our faith when we investigate our doubts in a community.

One of the greatest issues that men deal with is passivity. This reluctance to step up and do what is needed has been the root cause of many issues in the family, society, and the church. In this episode, we want to look at what Scripture says about men and how they are supposed to behave. We firmly believe that so many of our current societal problems are happening because men are not doing what God has called them to do. Men, we hope that this episode encourages and challenges you to become who God has called you to be. We cannot sit passively on the sidelines of life. We need to engage, act, and take responsibility in our families, churches, and neighborhoods.
