The 8:32 Podcast

Questions Do you ever feel like you have to make the truth more exciting and flashy for people to listen to you?  Sometimes I struggle with that! That’s why I wanted to share some things I learned recently from Kevin DeYoung’s book: “The (Not-So-Secret) Secret to Reaching the Next Generation.” He reminds us that faithfulness and consistency, unconditional love for the lost, and passionate declarat...

Questions So often we hide in our shame and guilt because we’re afraid of being honest about how broken we are.

In this episode we talk about conviction and how it really is a gift because it’s a sign of the Holy Spirit at work within you. We also talk about the power of confessing our sins to God an...

We’ll be back next episode to disc...

Questions This story from John 4 about the Samaritan woman at the well is one of my favorites — it shows the way Jesus cares for and draws in the outcasts and sinners. Isn’t that all of us?

It’s rich with the love and compassion of Jesus and the promise of living water that takes away our thirst FOREVER! Luke 8...

Questions It’s a question we all ask at some point or another: how do we find our purpose and live a meaningful life?

Questions Why would a good God allow suffering? That’s a hard one. We certainly aren’t gonna give an easy answer or tie it up in a bow, but I hope this episode gives you some things to consider!  Is God fully good if he doesn’t stop evil? Why does free will bring about brokenness? What about natural disasters and sickness - does God send those? How do we approach this question with someone who is...

Questions If you’ve ever wondered: What is theology? Who is this study for? Why do we study it? How do we study it? That’s what we’re talking about today! What I REALLY want y’all to know is that studying theology is for EVERYONE, and it’s about strengthening our relationship with God (not winning arguments or knowing the most). You can start learning right here, right now, with a Bible and 15 min...

Questions Whether you’re 8, 79, or anywhere in between, this one is for you! The Bible says we should be prepared to defend our hope (1 Peter 3:15), but how? What if we don’t have a masters in theology? What if we’re the kind of person who thinks of what they actually should have said hours after the conversation ends? (that’s literally me by the way…) If that’s you too, I hope this episode encour...

Questions This Bible that you hold in your hands—the one with 66 books, the one in English, the one that contains all that Christians believe to be true—how did it come to be what it is today? How did they determine which books to include, and who made those decisions? Do we have manuscript copies like we do for any other historical record? Can we really trust it to be both an accurate historical...

Questions Why would a doctor go to seminary? That’s what me and my dad get to talk about in this episode along with the broader question: how does the gospel and our faith change the way we work? We talk about the value and dignity of ALL work done with the intent of glorifying God because it fights the effects of the fall. Whether you’re in a season of decisions about your future, (college, major...

Questions In this episode we talk about the moral argument and how it points to a transcendent objective source for morality. I also give a summary of all three arguments and review the main concepts of this episode and the previous one.
