      <description><![CDATA[Monday, November 16, 2009
Host: Jim Wallace
<b>Part 2<br></b>In this podcast, Jim finishes his short, two part series examining the evidence related to Joseph Smith and the Book of Mormon. Is the Book of Mormon truly what it claims to be? Is there any internal evidence that can help us determine the truth of the matter? What does the cumulative circumstantial and direct physical evidence conclude about the Book of Mormon and Mormonism in general? Does Christianity suffer in a similar way when examined critically?

Host: Jim Wallace
<b>Part 1</b><br>In this podcast, Jim begins a short, two part series that examines the evidence related to Joseph Smith and the Book of Mormon. Mormonism hinges on the truth about Smith and the text he claimed to be a second testament of Jesus Christ. What does the evidence tell us about Smith and the text? Does Christianity stand up to the same sort of evidential scrutiny?

      <description><![CDATA[Monday, November 2, 2009
Host: Jim Wallace
<b>...and A Spiritual Gift?</b><br>In this podcast, Jim tackles the issue of "Spiritual Gifts" and distinguishes the difference between such gifts and the natural talents that all of us possess. Why do Christians sometimes describe what appear to be natural talents as "Spiritual Gifts"? Are they just attributing to God what is actually simply a matter of genetics and environment? Jim also answers listener email related to the Trinity and to the power of circumstantial evidence.

      <description><![CDATA[Monday, October 26, 2009
Host: Jim Wallace
In this podcast, Jim continues answering listener email and addresses the nature of the Gospel Message. Is the purpose of the Gospel to transform and restore the planet, or is the purpose of the Gospel to rescues fallen individuals? Are these two goals and consequences of the Gospel Message mutually exclusive? Jim also discusses the importance of rationality in the Christian life, the monetization of apologetics efforts, moral grounding and ethics training, and the distinct and unique nature of the Christian Worldview.

      <description><![CDATA[Monday, October 19, 2009
Host: Jim Wallace
In this podcast, Jim begins by talking about the unique nature of Christianity then continues responding to listener email by addressing several topics, including: a brief response and observation related to the Baha’i faith, a discussion of the importance of keeping the Sabbath, a review of the relationship between the documents of the early church fathers and the nature of the church, and the value of understanding the nature of Christian Dualism.

      <description><![CDATA[Sunday, October 11, 2009
Host: Jim Wallace
In this podcast, Jim begins to respond to listener email by addressing two difficult issues. How were people saved prior to the life of Jesus? If faith alone in Christ alone is required to be saved, how were Old Testament saints saved prior to the arrival of Christ? Jim also addresses the ‘hot topic’ issue of abortionist murders. Does the Old Testament require us to stop the murdering of the unborn by murdering the doctors who are performing abortions? Are abortionist murders permissible in light of the Old Testament Law? How are we to reconcile the tension between what we believe and what the law of the land permits?

      <description><![CDATA[Monday, October 5, 2009
Host: Jim Wallace
What does the Bible teach about the nature of Church? Are there certain non-negotiable essentials that all of us, as Christians, must believe about the Church in order to call ourselves Christians? Are there any over-arching principles that God has given us to help us live as a community of God? In this final podcast in a series examining Christian "essentials", Jim discusses the essential doctrinal truths related to the "Communion of Saints".

      <description><![CDATA[Monday, September 7, 2009
Host: Jim Wallace
Why do some of us call ourselves "Evangelical Christians"? Is evangelism an important part of what it means to be a Christian? Are all of us called to be evangelists? What if we aren't gifted in that way? What role should "apologetics" play in the life of the Christian? Must we all be "apologists" if we want to call ourselves "Christians"? Why should we adopt a new definition and become "Responsive Christians"?

      <description><![CDATA[Monday, August 31, 2009
Host: Jim Wallace
What is the nature of "true faith"? Is it wrong to want evidence to support the claims of Christianity? Is my faith "weak" because it demands rationality and evidential support? In this podcast, Jim examines the Biblical model of faith. It may surprise you to hear what the Bible has to say about "faith"! Also, Jim takes some time to respond evidentially to a common objection of atheists (the idea that the Christian God supports slavery).
