      <description><![CDATA[Monday, April 26, 2010
Host: Jim Wallace
In this podcast, Jim continues his series on the historicity and nature of Jesus Christ. Critics claim that Jesus is simply a re-telling of prior "dying savior" mythologies, copying many mythological characteristics related to birth stories, miraculous activities and other details. Critics often claim that Jesus shares a number of similarities with Horus and Osiris from Egyptian mythology. But is this true, and if it is true, is there any reasonable explanation? Jim also answers listener email related to the value of debates and the temptation toward "apologetics arrogance".

      <description><![CDATA[Monday, April 19, 2010
Host: Jim Wallace
In this podcast, Jim begins a series on the historicity and nature of Jesus Christ. Before we can even look at who Jesus claimed to "be", we need to make sure He existed in the first place! Critics claim that Jesus is simply a re-telling of the Mithras mythology, copying Mithras' virgin birth, death and resurrection and many other similar details. But is Jesus truly this similar to Mithras? Is it reasonable to expect ancient seekers to create a God that is similar to the true God of the universe?

      <link>http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Please_Convince_Me/?bcd=4/12/2010</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Monday, April 12, 2010
Host: Jim Wallace
In this podcast, Jim records a portion of a weekly apologetics house church meeting in an effort to help people understand how apologetics can be taught and embraced by the local church community. Utilizing two PCM listener emails (related to Catholicism and Bible "contradictions"), members of the church engage and examine what they believe. This "eavesdropping" session may give you a better idea of what an apologetics based house church sounds like!

Host: Jim Wallace
<b>...The Nature of God's Voice, The Nature of Truth</b><br>

In this podcast, Jim answers listener email addressing important issues and challenges to Christianity.  Is there a broader explanation for the exodus of young people from the Church? Can the challenges facing the Church be addressed in the current form of the American "Churchianity"? How do we know when we've heard God's voice and why do atheists think we're crazy when we claim to have heard from God? Is it possible to be a Christ Follower without believing any of Christianity's exclusive claims about the nature of God and truth in general?

      <link>http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Please_Convince_Me/?bcd=3/29/2010</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Monday, March 29, 2010
Host: Jim Wallace
While many of us describe ourselves as Christians, few of us are able to articulate Christian Orthodoxy. Fewer and fewer Christians are Biblically literate and many Christians hold non-Biblical ideas about the nature of God, Jesus and Salvation. To make matter worse, most young Christians will walk away from Christianity in their college years and the Church is often more concerned about itself than the community around it. In this podcast, Jim describes a three-pronged approach to "Church life" that may help solve some of these problems.

Host: Jim Wallace
<b>...Passed Health Care Bill</b><br>
As Christians, should we support legislation such as the recently passed Health Care Reform Bill? Are there any over-arching Christian principles that should be considered when we examine legislation of this nature? In this podcast, Jim examines five Christian principles that can help us to filter legislative ideas through a Christian Worldview. Jim also answers an email about the Milgram Experiment, and an email about the difficulty we sometimes have trying to obey God's command to honor our father and mother.

In this podcast, Jim begins a two part series in abductive reasoning as he examines the first five (of ten) pieces of evidence in the universe and evaluates the explanatory power of philosophical naturalism versus that of theism.

      <description><![CDATA[Monday, March 1, 2010
Host: Jim Wallace
In this podcast, Jim interviews apologist, author and national conference speaker Sean McDowell about his recent debate with Jim Corbett, "Is God the Best Explanation for Moral Values?" What role does preparation play in the life of Christians? How are we to conduct ourselves when our opposition is less than kind, and what strategies can we employ to reflect the compassion of Jesus while affirming the truth of God? Are debates a constructive way to proclaim the truth of the Christian Worldview?
