How would you handle a child, grandchild, or some other young person displaying serious doubts about the Bible? What can practically be done to empower this generation with the real-world truth of God's Word? The message of the Bible gives purpose. It is a message of hope, of repentance, redemption, and restoration to the guilty sinner and to this fallen world. But these messages of such great importance are only taken to heart and acted upon to the extent that they are believed in the mind to be true. So, is it all really true? Our children and grandchildren will be faced with this question sooner or later. Even mature, established Christians may face unsettling questions: This month we discuss practical steps that can be taken to help Christians anchor their faith to the real world. We must close the divide between the physical world and the spiritual world, so that we come to see God's workings in the world (past, present, and future) to be as real as the dirt we stand on, the water we drink, and the life we live everyday. The points discussed on this episode are valuable for Christian parents and teachers... or anyone who desires to be ready to give an answer to every man that asks you a reason of the hope that is in you.

When thinking of ancient Egypt, most of us would immediately think about the massive pyramids, which were built during Egypt’s great Old Kingdom. Mystery surrounds these ancient monuments. How were these great structures built in such ancient times? Where did the ancient Egyptians get the construction techniques used to build the pyramids? Where did the Egyptians obtain the wealth to build the pyramids? These and many more questions have been asked by scholars and lay people alike. Some clues to help us understand the mysteries of the pyramids lie—you guessed it—in the Bible. In this episode we will tell the story of the building of the first pyramid, found in ancient history, and then connect some of the dots to a well-known account in the Bible. With correct biblical chronology, the mysteries of the pyramids begin to unravel.

Easter is a celebration of Christ's triumph over death (in real-world history). Foundational to Easter is the historical event of the Passover and Israel's exodus from Egypt, when God delivered his people from Pharoah's hand in many amazing and miraculous ways (also in real-world history). Jewish people, and some Christians, participate in the celebration of Seder at the time of Passover each year. This celebration focuses on remembering the deliverance of Israel from Egypt. Part of the Seder celebration is the breaking of the matzah, which symbolizes the parting of the Sea of Reeds. As we discuss the details of the "Red Sea" crossing (based on knowing its geographical location), we can see many parallels to the Easter story. When defeat seemed certain, when the enemy thought victory was within his grasp, when God's plan didn't seem to make sense—life triumphed over death, the enemy was defeated in a mighty display of God's power, God brought His people to a place of freedom and deliverance, and sent them forth to conquer the land.

On this episode, Steve and Jennifer discuss a video that was released mid-January, in which a well-known Christian leader stated his opinion that Noah's Flood could have been a local flood. He gave reasons why he believes this is a faithful interpretation of the biblical text. This topic spread like wildfire on social media, with opinions sharply divided. The geographical extent of Noah's Flood will not be determined based on opinion alone, or even based on the biblical text alone. Extra-biblical data is needed to settle the question, which should not be difficult to find for an event of such massive proportions (if it really happened in history). The most foundational question to answer is this: what is the date of Noah's Flood? Many groups and individuals teach on Noah's Flood, but do not answer the most basic questions. Real floods have real dates, and if Christianity is a history-based religion, we must be able to anchor Noah's Flood to the real world.

Radiocarbon dating is used to date artifacts from up to 50,000 years ago. This causes a conundrum for the Bible believer, as we discussed last month. Some Christian groups claim that radiocarbon dating is unreliable science, based on assumptions, and involves circular reasoning. Some imply that radiocarbon dating is a hoax. Is any of this true? We hear directly from Dr. Aardsma this month on this topic. Is it possible that the Christian should really be seeing radiocarbon dating as an amazing gift from God?
