Send us Fan Mail Sin is one of the most mystical experiences of humanity.  We all know what it is, we all experience with it, we all wrestle with it. But at the same time, there appears to be a dialectical twist to said sin in which you are able to draw closer to the good through the sin.  Warren and I will discuss this phenomenon whilst also discussing the nature of God and the divine.  ---------...

Send us Fan Mail Sometimes in the world, the question dictates the answers.  As a result, it is very important that we not only ask the right questions but also be wary of trick questions out to trap us.  In this video, we examine this phenomena, going through simple but deceptive questions like "does God exist?" or "should a woman have a right over her own body?"  I hope you f...

Send us Fan Mail Heidegger said life is "being-in-the-world" and I totally agree.  It is one thing to play around and flirt with high and lofty ideas, but it is also important to acknowledge and wrestle with their physical and spiritual consequences in our lives.  Therefore, I feel it is integral that we start a social discourse platform or series on this channel to develop our understan...

Send us Fan Mail Genesis has always been a very interesting and beautiful narrative.  In this video, I am joined by Warren to discuss Genesis 21-25 (Genesis 22 is saved for another time for a more in-depth discussion) to talk about the significance of oaths, the pleasing of the Big Other and more insightful contents that we can learn from these texts.

Send us Fan Mail The problem of evil has managed to stand the test of time as one of the strongest arguments in the field of apologetics.  As a result, I have decided that we should approach the problem of evil as the next part of this series on The Apologist's Handbook. Now the problem of evil is massive, and there is really no direct way in which we can tackle the problem in one video, as a...

Send us Fan Mail We've all seen it before. Someone claims that they are the victim, then uses the label of victimhood to justify all of their actions.  This occurs on all sides of the political spectrum and is in fact a very human thing to do. In this video, Warren and I examine this phenomenon, with hopes of getting to the very bottom of the dilemma and solving this problem for the better. ...

In this video, we discuss this problem of interpretation, its implications and how this might interact with how we live. I...

Send us Fan Mail The Kalam Cosmological Argument is one of the most commonly used argument for the existence of God in philosophy. Why is it so useful? Why is it so common?  In this video, we discuss the argument's greatest strength and also give you some formulations so that you can manipulate and use this argument in the best way possible.  Feel free to let me know if you want me to elabora...

Send us Fan Mail We've all heard the statement "If there is no God, everything is permissible."  Recently, Warren and I came across a reverse formulation, that "if there is a God, everything is permissible."

Send us Fan Mail We live in a conflicted world, this is difficult to understand at times and it is difficult to act in a righteous fashion.
