Welcome to Truthspresso Express! This is where I record an episode on my commute to or from work. I tried to explain the Trinity to some Unitarians on Facebook. As I said that God is one "being" who is three "persons" and distinguished between the "what-ness" and "who-ness" of God, the Unitarians made fun of my terminology. They claimed I was objectifying God or using "new age" language. But there...

Welcome to Truthspresso Express! This is where I record an episode on my commute to or from work. I recorded this episode on Monday, September 20th.

As my wife and I are on a vacation with family visiting from out of state, this episode will be a rewind of episode 19. I interview Tyler Vela about the age-old topic: Does God exist? Tyler was raised an atheist until his atheist professor in a Metaphysics class in college discussed arguments for the existence of God. The challenge of the "moral argument" caused Tyler to investigate and eventually...

Welcome to Truthspresso Express! This is where I record an episode on my commute to or from work. In this episode of Truthspresso Express I talk about my recent exchange with an Arian on Facebook over Philippians 2:6-7. I walk through the verbs in verses 6-7 and the context of humility in verses 3-5 to show that Jesus must be fully God and fully man. I argue these two major points: Jesus is fully...

Welcome to Truthspresso Express! This is where I record an episode on my commute to or from work. In this episode of Truthspresso Express I discuss two articles claiming hospital pandemonium that turned out to be fabricated: A children's hospital "hits capacity" from our favorite virus. A hospital can't admit gunshot victims because it's loaded with patients suffering from too much "horse dewormer...

My wife Chelsea and I address our first listener question: What does the Bible mean by the "milk" and "meat" of the Word? Three key passages mention "milk" and two of them compare it to "meat": 1 Peter 2:2-3 1 Corinthians 3:2 Hebrews 5:12-14 The listener heard these passages explained as Sunday School stories for "milk" and understanding different Greek words as "meat." After reading these passage...

Welcome to Truthspresso Express! This is where I record an episode on my commute to or from work. In this episode of Truthspresso Express I discuss my understanding of what Acts 22:16 means when it says "Arise and be baptized and wash away your sins."

Welcome to Truthspresso Express! This is where I record an episode on my commute to or from work.

Welcome to Truthspresso Express! This is where I record an episode on my commute to or from work.

My wife Chelsea and I finish our two-part series on the abortion pill regimen (mifepristone and misoprostol). We trace the history of the abortion pill from when it was first approved by the FDA to the current push to distribute it to the masses by mail. The abortion industry claims the abortion pill is "safer than Tylenol." Of course we know it's not "safe" for the baby that's murdered, but we sh...

As my wife and I are getting over a head cold, I asked Eric Luppold, host of the Governed By God podcast, to let me republish an episode we did in the beginning of May.

My wife Chelsea joins again to continue our series on marriage. We look at a dictionary definition of marriage according to a current Google search. We compare this with the definition from the 1828 Webster's dictionary. We observe that the definition has become quite vague recently. It has changed from the specific and Biblical definition to something ambiguous and almost meaningless. Then, we ta...
