Campus Preacher

Dr Bart Ehrman argues in his book “How Jesus Became God” that the New Testament accounts of the burial of Jesus are internally and externally inconsistent with what the Gospels say, as well as what we know about the Roman Empire. In this episode, I look at Bart’s claims regarding internal incoherence of the Bible’s account of the burial of Jesus.

Dr Bart Ehrman is a popular author and professor from UNC-Chapel Hill. He’s a one time Evangelical turned agnostic and Bible critic. He’s superb with rhetoric and making forceful arguments, but much of that is, despite his contention, based on secular and enlightenment presuppositions. This is part 1 of a 3 part series looking at Bart’s historiography, then I will move on to the...

In his piece “Why I am Not a Christian,” Bertrand Russell suggests he’s not a Christian because of “the curious story” of Jesus and the fig tree, as well as the fact that Russell thinks Jesus predicted his “second coming” in the lifetime of his disciples. Russell doesn’t read the Bible very well, because if he understood the story of the fig, he woul...

This is part two of Eddie Roman’s interview with me at the G3 Conference. Eddie works, largely, behind the scenes at Ray Comfort’s “Living Waters” ministry, which some of you may be familiar with.

This is part 1 of my interview with Eddie Roman. Eddie works with Ray Comfort and has joined me several times on campus, so he was a good person for me to sit down and talk with. We brush on evangelism stories, methods, and a bunch of parts inbetween.

“What must I do to be saved?” “There’s nothing you can do,” “Just accept Jesus,” or “Repent and be Baptized.” Inviting others to Jesus via baptism.

This episode we finish up our look at Bart Ehrman’s “Revelatory Moment About ‘god,'” And we look at David French’s idea that the Church has a politically correct/cancel culture problem.

This episode I discuss getting punched, a discussion with a trans student, and continue with a brief look at Bart Ehrman’s epistemology from his blog post “My Revelatory Moment about ‘god.’

Bart Ehrman recently wrote a blog post title “A Revelatory Moment About God.” Over the next couple of episodes, we will look at his revelatory moment, its implications, and how he is helpful in framing evangelistic and apologetic discussions.

Rush Limbaugh was diagnosed with late state lung cancer, so I speak briefly about how, of all people, he’s one of the people the Lord used to bring me to the Gospel via “The Way Things Ought to Be.” Also, Franklin Graham is cancelled in the UK, so what does that mean?

Last episode, we briefly discussed unbelieving man’s self-conception and in this episode we round out that discussion with the rise of Revoice/homosexual self-conception in the context of Christianity.

Over the past semester, during my discussion with some students on campus, they prefer the use of “queer” over “homosexual.” The shift in language, I believe is helpful in our evangelistic endeavors and communicating the Gospel to individuals.

This is part 2 of my interview with Christian Reformed Fellowship in Moscow, Idaho with Christ and Trinity Churches college ministry.

In early November, I ventured to the home of he-who-cannot-be-named and worked with his campus ministry to discuss campus ministry. This is part 1 of the interview with Collegiate Reformed Fellowship. It was a fun meeting and I think you will enjoy the interview.

A discussion with Hunter, a physics major, seeking to show “Why YHWH is the True God,” although we only end up trying to get Hunter to believe in the non-physical realm.

Eph. 2 tells us that men are spiritually dead, how does that related to evangelism? The idea that many have no interest in God or “spiritual things” shouldn’t surprise us, as it is the nature of man. Also, a brief dialogue with a young woman about whether or not my preaching is judgmental, at least a little.

There are different parts of the body and, obviously, the different parts serve different functions. The Church and its members are the Body of Christ, so each person serves their particular function – one sows, one waters, but God gives the increase. In my evangelism, I regularly see that I am one part of what God is doing on campus through me and the different groups on campus. In short, w...

Is open-air preaching effective? What’s your definition of effective? Also, a discussion with Ali – a Muslim turned agnostic turned Mormon. He was very humble and seeking the truth, so I was trying to encourage him to continue to seek the Truth, Jesus of Nazareth.

John MacArthur told Beth Moore to “go home” with respect to women preachers, but what about women open-air preachers and women in evangelism? In this episode, I briefly look at the central role of women in evangelism and an interaction with two Christian men on women preachers in the Church.

#JesusIsKing is Kanye’s new album. He’s right – Jesus is King! And, as the King, he has enemies. We discuss both in this episode and how the King comes to wash and die for his enemies.

I get asked about being a postmillennialist and we discuss the reality that the Bible teaches that God hates. What does this strange doctrine mean? I seek to brush on that in the context of open-air preaching where students accused me of “hate speech” and preaching that God “hates.” Well, I believe God hates. I don’t believe all “hate” is equal and we need...

Did David rape Bathsheba? I address some tweets/texts suggesting he did, and I seek to develop a paradigm for answering an objection to the Bible that “virgin’s must marry their rapist per Deut. 22:28-29.”

One of the most common questions I get is, how do you get started? I briefly discuss that here. Also, I am asked almost daily, “WHAT ABOUT THE JEWS?” Which is framed to suggest that any suggestion the Jews are not saved is some how anti-semitic…Here’s an interaction with a young man from campus after he asked, “I’m Jewish, am I going to Hell?” As always, I...

Here are two conversations from campus that are centered on the idea of “Christian Supremacy.” The basic idea is that something is going to be supreme in a culture and, since Jesus is the Truth, I maintain that Jesus and his supremacy ought to be maintained by the Christian. In the mind of many, the concept of “supremacy” means oppression, but it is the Most High God that c...

Drew Brees took some heat from encouraging kids to bring their Bibles to school, then he took heat from some in the Church, and I think we need more wisdom on these types of issues. Also, I play two clips from campus. One discussion is with a humble agnostic kid and the other with a Christian seeking clarification.
