The poem "By the Babe Unborn", written by G.K. Chesterton, put to my music and read by me.

Jim Mynaugh and I discuss his nonprofit Divine Water, which provides fresh water wells to needy populations, mostly in Africa.

Jude and Willa update us all on their thoughts about games and cats, and other things.

The true story of Jeff Turner, a one man vigilante who fought back against the Indians who killed his family on the western frontier in Texas. The Indians killed his wife and three young sons, so he spent the rest of his life bringing the fight to the entire Indian nation.

I discuss the book Sufferings in Africa by Captain James Riley, and his conversation with his slave master about the people in the Sahara Desert who were hundreds of years old by subsisting entirely on a diet of camel’s milk.

A series of true stories weaved from the books in my library. I discuss C.S. Lewis, Truman Capote, Elmer Kelton, mathematician William Dembski, and the world’s foremost C.S. Lewis scholar John West, among others.

Sokontela Kanangu, Dr. Brandon Broyles, Chad Montgomery and I talk about the life of Sokontela Kanangu, and the origin and ongoing work of the Livingstone School of Evangelism which he spearheaded, and its struggles and many successes in ministry and evangelism with the Zambian people. After listening to Sokontela I realized that the best way to minister is for the members of a native culture to s...

Dr. Brandon Broyles, Brady Broyles, and I discuss the slaughtering and carnage of the Passover festival around 37 - 44 A.D. in Jerusalem.

We discuss how new information can shed light on history, and how the New Testament’s revelation reveals the hidden plan...

Dr. Brandon Broyles and I discuss the Old Testament prophecies and what the Jewish leaders expected in their conception of the Messiah. We discuss why the plan of God to have a sacrificial lamb atone for the sins of the world had to be veiled in mystery, so as not to allow for the circumvention of the divine plan by man.

This is part 2 of the discussion in which Dr. Brandon Broyles and I discuss the claims made by Jesus about himself and how he saw himself. We discuss the argument made C.S. Lewis in his book Mere Christianity that is commonly referred to as the Trilemma - that given the actual claims made by Jesus, such as his eternal nature, power over the whole world to forgive sins, that he came from heaven, th...

Brandon Broyles and I discuss the actual claims made by Jesus about Himself, and how those claims negate the possibility of just being a human moral teacher given His claims of divinity and eternal life.
