The Freethinking Podcasts

For these next couple of episodes, Tim and I will be responding to an article from Charles Rennie, who purports to discuss whether or not Molinism is a Biblical theology. Needless to say, Tim and myself have some thoughts on the topic. I had solicited some questions for an episode from the Freethinking Podcast Facebook group, but this article came across our laps so we couldn't help but talk about...

In this episode, Tim and I combine to make up 3 healthy knee joints. Tim talks about his struggles he's been having with the health of his knee and how he makes sense of those struggles in light of Molinism. Many times, we tend to stray away from God when times get tough, but Tim shows how Molinism allows him to better deal with those tough times on an emotional level. We also discuss how Molinism...

Tim's back on the show, for reals! In this episode, Tim catches us up on what he was doing over his recent sabbatical and we talk about the reality of spiritual warfare. We also talk about how Tim met his wife! Some of you might be struggling with the things we talk about in this episode and not even know it, so I encourage you to listen and be uplifted.

I know, we've talked about this topic before, but I bet you've never heard Tim and Evan Minton talk about this topic! This is the final episode listening to a conversation that Tim had with Evan Minton of the Cerebral Faith podcast about the apologetic significance of Molinism. It's a fun conversation, so I hope you all enjoy! Relevant Links: http://cerebralfaith.blogspot.com/ Relevant episodes: 5...

In this episode, Tim and I discuss one of his most recent articles where he interacts with a document that purports to be against the rise of "Christian Nationalism." We go through the document and give our thoughts on the whole issue.

Tim and I sat down and talked with Adam Coleman, who is a fellow FTM contributor, about some issues that have been coming up in the media lately having to do with race. Adam, being a black man, has a perspective on these things that neither Tim nor I are able to fully understand. We wanted to have a meaningful and helpful conversation about these topics, and we successfully did! This is the third...

Today, Tim and I thought we'd tackle some criticism that many Christians receive regarding the phrase "thoughts and prayers" being used after a tragedy rather than "real action." We both think that criticism is misplaced, even if you don't believe Christianity is true. I show how authentic Christians who actually take the time to pray are actually taking the most action they possibly can, and thus...

Freethinking Ministries has recently been partnering with an organization called MAVEN. They're a wonderful ministry that seeks to equip youth with practical apologetics to be used when engaging others about their faith. Tim has gone on several trips as a guide, and we talk about his experiences and the work that MAVEN does. Relevant Links: https://freethinkingministries.com/the-maven-experience/...

Tim has recently been released from Facebook jail, so we talk about his time behind bars. We also discuss the rather tame article that led to his being banned from Facebook for 24 hours. I mean seriously Facebook:  this is the article that does it? Enjoy! Relevant links: https://freethinkingministries.com/a-thought-experiment-vs-unjustified-evil-suffering/

We had so much fun talking about violence these past couple weeks, we decided to do an episode talking about Christianity and guns. But, we needed some backup to do this episode, so we invited on Tim Hsiao, who is a philosophy professor at Grantham University who has written academically on this topic. It was an incredibly fun conversation that we know you'll enjoy. Relevant links: Tim Hsiao's web...

We had so much fun talking about Avengers Endgame last week, that we'd thought we'd take a couple of episodes to dive in a little deeper. It turns out, there's a lot of theological, philosophical, and apologetic related stuff to talk about in this movie. Also, we're pretty sure Biola University wrote most of this movie. Obvious disclaimer, there are lots of spoilers in this conversation, so go see...

This week, we're going to be talking about one of Tim's papers that he presented at ETS. We'll look at Tim's argument as to why Molinism gives us as Christians the ability to better utilize the Fine-Tuning argument, and why other views do not. We also discuss a little Avengers (no spoilers, don't worry). Enjoy! Relevant links: https://freethinkingministries.com/the-apologetic-significance-of-molin...
