Christians are not expected to believe based solely on a collection of ancient manuscripts. The foundation of our faith is anchored to something far more substantial and sustainable.

Today, we dive into the foundational questions of faith: How do we know God exists? What role does the Bible play in our beliefs? Join us as we explore whether our faith should rest solely on ancient manuscripts or if there's something more substantial at the core of Christianity.

We challenge the notion that belief should be blind and invite you to investigate the reliability of the Gospels—specifically, the accounts of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Discover why the resurrection of Jesus is the epicenter of our faith and how it launched a movement that has endured for centuries.

Whether you're curious about faith, returning to it, or grappling with doubts, this episode encourages you to ask hard questions and seek a deeper understanding. We also discuss the importance of building a robust faith framework, especially for the next generation.

Join us for an engaging discussion that aims to inspire both believers and skeptics alike.

Read along with the message: Luke 1:1–4

Key Topics:
The foundation of faith beyond ancient texts
The significance of the resurrection of Jesus
Investigating the reliability of the Gospels
Building a faith framework for the next generation


As we close, we invite you to reflect on your own faith journey and consider the questions that matter most to you. Let's explore together!

Sibling Rivalry - Genesis 21:8-21

Read along with our chosen scripture: Luke 1:1–4; 4:14–15, 40, 43; 5:1–6, 8, 10–11; 1 Peter 2:23–24
Whatever your next step is, take it. You don’t know what hangs in the balance.

In this episode, we explore the journey of faith and the importance of asking the tough questions. Many of us grow up hearing that "Jesus loves me," but as we mature, we often find ourselves seeking deeper answers. Join us as we discuss how Christianity began not with the Bible, but with a pivotal event in history—the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

We dive into the story of Peter, a fisherman who encountered Jesus in an unexpected and inconvenient way. Discover how Peter's willingness to say "yes" to Jesus' call transformed his life and led to a movement that changed the world. We also reflect on the significance of Jesus' teachings and how they challenge us to live counter-culturally.

Throughout the episode, we encourage listeners to consider what might be on the other side of their own "yes." Whether it's stepping into community, serving others, or simply inviting someone to church, we discuss the immeasurable opportunities that await when we embrace the inconvenient invitations from Jesus.

Join us for an inspiring conversation that challenges you to investigate your faith and take bold steps toward a deeper relationship with God. 

Key Topics:

The importance of asking mature questions about faith

The historical context of Christianity's beginnings

Peter's transformative encounter with Jesus

The significance of inconvenient invitations in our lives

How to embrace opportunities for growth and community

Those who admired Jesus didn’t shape civilization. People who decided to act and do something did.

In this episode, we dive into the second part of our series on investigating Jesus. We start with a powerful question: If your life were a commercial, what would you be advertising? This episode challenges listeners to reflect on their lives and the messages they convey through their actions and interactions.

We explore the foundational question of faith: the identity of Jesus of Nazareth. Is the Gospel of Luke a reliable account of Jesus' life? We discuss the significance of Luke's meticulous investigation and the unprecedented nature of his writings in ancient history.

As we introduce John the Baptist, we examine his role as the forerunner to Jesus and the disruptive message he brought to the religious leaders of his time. John challenges the status quo, urging people to produce fruit in keeping with repentance and to live out their faith through actions that prioritize the marginalized and the poor.

Join us as we reflect on what it means to truly follow Jesus in today's world. Are we living out a faith that is consumeristic and self-focused, or are we embodying the selfless love that Jesus exemplified? This episode encourages listeners to ask the hard questions and take actionable steps toward a deeper, more meaningful faith.

What Is A Proctored Exam?

A proctored exam is a test that is supervised by a proctor or an invigilator to ensure that the exam is taken under proper conditions and follows the required rules. The purpose of proctoring is to prevent cheating or misconduct during the exam. The proctor monitors the test-taker either in person (in a physical setting) or remotely (using a webcam or screen-sharing technology).

 

In remote proctored exams, software may be used to track and record the student’s screen, movements, and environment to ensure that the test is taken fairly. These exams are common in online learning environments and professional certifications.

Proctored exams play a vital role in maintaining fairness and academic integrity. By monitoring students, whether in-person or remotely, they help create a level playing field where everyone is assessed based on their own abilities, without unfair advantages. The use of technology, such as AI and video monitoring, strengthens the credibility of online education and certifications.

Love for God is demonstrated by love for others.

The episode challenges listeners to reflect on their own lives and consider how they can embody the love and compassion that Jesus exemplified, regardless of societal boundaries or personal biases.

Key topics include:
