The Old Gods Return: The Resurrection of Paganism 22.07.2025 36:51
Listen in to Prashanth's plenary session at the 2025 Gravity Conference. He zooms out to give a cultural and spiritual overview of why paganism is making a comeback today.

Eco-Paganism & the Cult of Environmental Activism 22.07.2025 39:02
Prashanth Daniel explores the growing influence of pagan spiritual ideas within the modern environmental movement. He examines how eco-paganism elevates nature to sacred status, how activism is shaped by religious-like rituals and urgency, and how Christians can respond with a biblically grounded view of creation and stewardship. A clear-eyed, culturally sharp session on faith, creation, and the s...

We've been seeing a lot of boycotts happening in the culture around us. Some people think these are justified while others think they are not.

Why the Death & Resurrection of Jesus Matters 14.04.2023 12:44
Christians around the world just celebrated the Passion Week, Good Friday and Resurrection Sunday. But do we really understand the magnitude of the significance behind the Cross? Did Jesus have to die in order for our sins to be atoned for? Wasn't there any other way? And why does it matter that Jesus rose from the grave? In this episode, Prashanth unpacks the fundamental truths behind some of...
Lessons From Chesterton's Fence 22.02.2023 14:48
The English theologian, G.K.Chesterton, once famously said that if we come upon a fence that we don't understand the need for, we must first identify its purpose before we uproot the fence. It turns out that this simple thought-experiment has incredible value for the state of affairs in our culture today. In this episode Prashanth unpacks exactly how that applies in our society and how 'Progressiv...
The Brave New World of Your Truth 24.09.2022 15:39
The term 'your truth' has become ubiquitous in our culture today. But what does it mean? And is it used in a way that corresponds to reality? In this episode, Prashanth traces the euphemism back to its ideological roots and shows how the modern narrative of someone's 'lived experience' actually betrays an entire worldview beneath it. For more info and resources on Reasonable Truth, click here: htt...
The Worldview Behind Abortion 02.08.2022 35:40
Is abortion just a popular idea? Or is there an actual worldview at work behind it? In this episode, Prashanth makes the case that there is a massive philosophically pragmatic and self-centered foundation beneath the abortion movement. And how identifying what that is, is vital to making sense of the idolatrous commitment the culture has for the right to abortion. For information on The Life Train...

Defending the Unborn - Part 2: Dismantling Pro-Choice Arguments 11.12.2021 1:23:19
Christians and pro-lifers are often overwhelmed by the aggressive and emotional rhetoric of the pro-choice camp. How do we engage these arguments in a thoughtful manner? In this episode Prashanth unpacks the flaws in pro-choice reasoning and offers some tried and tested tactics to disarm the abortion rhetoric while also making a sensible case for the sanctity of life.
Defending the Unborn - Part 1: The Moral & Legal Landscape 02.12.2021 42:12
A landmark Supreme Court case in Mississippi has brought the contentious topic of abortion raging back to the surface of the national conversation. Unlike other cases, this one has the potential to possibly reverse the controversial Roe Vs. Wade decision of 1973. What is at stake here for the pro-life cause? But most importantly what is at stake for the protection of millions of unborn lives? In t...
Twenty Years Later, Worldview Still Matters 18.09.2021 25:10
Its hard to believe that its been 20 years since the 9/11 attacks. As America and the West continue to grapple with the complexities of Middle Eastern policies, what lessons can we learn from 9/11? Are Western and Islamic cultures fundamentally the same, or are they diametrically opposite to each other? In this episode, Prashanth breaks down the intrinsic worldview differences between Western and...
Obstacles to Evangelism - Part 6: Conversational Evangelism 11.07.2021 45:43
Christians generally know that they are called to evangelize in obedience to Jesus' mandate in Mathew 28. But the average Christian often struggles to identify which conversations have evangelistic potential, and if they do, how to transition from small talk to deeper and more spiritual issues. In this episode, Prashanth offers some useful tips on precisely that and offers some tactical strategies...
Obstacles to Evangelism - Part 5: Taking the Gospel for Granted 30.06.2021 26:38
As Christians we should know the Gospel and certainly believe in it. But is it possible to become so familiar with the Gospel that we actually take it for granted? In this episode Prashanth unpacks how and why we take the Gospel for granted and what we can do about it.
Obstacles to Evangelism - Part 4: Ill-Equipped for Evangelizing 18.06.2021 24:45
If Christians know the truth of the Gospel and believe it to be saving truth, what prevents them from sharing the Gospel with others? In this episode Prashanth breaks down some reasons why Christians might feel unequipped to share their convictions with those who dont believe or might have questions about the faith.
Obstacles to Evangelism - Part 3: Underestimating God's Agency 08.06.2021 27:33
When it comes to evangelizing, people sometimes make the mistake of assuming that it is a task best left to 'experts' like pastors, theologians, evangelists or apologists. But the Bible never takes this approach. As believers we are all expected, in some manner or the other, to play an active role in the Great Commission. In this episode, Prashanth breaks down how understanding God's preferred age...
Obstacles to Evangelism - Part 2: The Privatization of Faith 30.05.2021 21:35
In the second part to this series, Prashanth examines how Western culture's tendency to privatize it's faith to make it 'individual' and 'personal', resulted in the inadvertent consequence of removing it's potency from the public sphere of influence. There could be something that we might call a faith that is 'our own' but if our Christian convictions fail to influence the way we practically live...
Obstacles to Evangelism - Part 1: Affluence Blinds Us From Eternity 24.05.2021 28:20
The Great Commission, referenced in Mathew 28, is one of the single greatest mandates given to Christians by Christ himself. And yet statistically speaking, the data shows that most self-proclaimed Christians don't know much about the Great Commission, let alone practice it. Which begs the question - is the Christian church apathetic to the Great Commission? In this series, Prashanth walks us thro...

Reflections on the Ravi Zacharias Scandal 01.01.2021 25:49
In light of recent allegations against the late Ravi Zacharias, how can Christians navigate such issues with clarity and conviction? In this episode, Prashanth offers some guiding principles for how to think through the dangers of elevating a Christian personality and the importance of valuing truth even when it feels uncomfortable to our own camp.
Cuties & the Hyper-sexualization of Culture 30.09.2020 34:18
Netflix's new movie, 'Cuties' is causing a stir around the world with its provocative depiction of young girls. Some call this a bold portrayal for women's empowerment while others call it the demeaning of young girls' innocence, while the director calls it educational. How must Christians think about an issue like this? In this episode Prashanth unpacks the problem at the heart of this issue and...
Why Did Christ Have to Die For the Remission of Sins? 27.06.2020 25:36
Atonement is not unique to the Christian faith. But Christianity is the only faith that has the audacity to teach that there is nothing you or I can do to atone for our own sins. It was Christ, the only begotten Son of God, that came into this world to die on a Cross for our sins. But how exactly did that work? Was there no other way? In this episode, I explain why Christ, being truly God and trul...
The Problem with the 'Cosmic Child Abuse' Analogy 08.06.2020 15:32
Did God 'abuse' His son by intentionally sending him into harm's way? Was Christ dragged to the Cross, kicking and screaming, against his will? In this episode we examine the problem with this emotionally charged analogy.
Reflections on the life of Ravi Zacharias 28.05.2020 25:04
A tribute to Christian apologist, Ravi Zacharias.
Pilot Episode - How it all began 22.05.2020 26:01
In this episode I share my story of what brought me into the field of Christian Apologetics. It begins in a small Middle Eastern island nation, moving to India and then to the United States. Believe it or not, my calling didnt begin with a radical or miraculous 'Damascus road' experience. It began in a little coffee shop, in the small South Indian city of Chennai!
