The Achieving Christian Thought Podcast

Hello everyone. Our apologies it’s been a while since we’ve posted an episode. To make up for it, we are releasing a combined two part episode this week. Keep listening for both parts 1 & 2 as we discuss death, ghosts, out of body experiences, and claims of people who died and supposedly went to heaven or hell. We hope you enjoy!

In this episode, we discuss another of Israel's rebellion against God. They had demanded to be lead by a human king instead of God. God obliged but things didn't quite go quite the way Israel thought it would go. In this first part, we discuss the rise (and subsequent fall) of King Saul, David, and Solomon.

Happy Easter everyone! We hope everyone out there listening had a great Easter and got to spend time with family and more importantly, got to attend an Easter service. In this episode, we wanted to dive a little more into a few of the skeptics’ arguments that Easter is either fake or blown way out of proportion. We have briefly touched on a few of these in previous episodes but thought it would be...

Welcome back to another episode! It's funny how things line up sometimes. We record several episodes in advance and upload as we get them edited and it just so happens that this episode about Pontius Pilate is getting uploaded the Monday before Good Friday. For those of you who don't know, Pilate was the Roman governor who turned Jesus over to the Jewish leaders for crucifixion. Pilate was against...

Sooo, what happens when we actually die and meet God for the first time? Many people, including Christians, are scared to think about judgement day and standing before the Almighty. However, the gospel tells us that if we have given ourselves over to Christ, we have nothing to fear from God or his Judgement. In this episode, we explore this topic a little further. We hope you enjoy!

The End is Nigh! Well, the End going to be sometime….in the future. Maybe soon? But maybe not? Only the Father knows the exact time and date. Jesus himself didn’t even know the time or date. Thinking about the cryptic prophesies in Revelations can intimidate some people and excite others. In this episodes, we discuss Revelations and try to de-mystify it just a bit (a very tiny bit).

We're back! Sorry for the long delay in uploading. Bryan is our main editor and was out for 2 weeks with Covid. But we are back and have a great episode queued up for you. In this episode we discuss the Crucifixion and the events surrounding it. We really think you'll enjoy it!

Hello everyone and thanks for listening! We are kicking off a three part series on miracles. We hope you enjoy!

Everyone has heard of Noah’s Ark and Daniel and the lion’s den (if not, please pause this episode and pick up your bible. We’ll wait!) However, there are some lesser know stories that don’t get as much attention. These are a few of the more obscure yet interesting stories of the bible. We hope you enjoy!

Jesus’s teaching was revolutionary. His style of conveying scripture through stories astounded some while greatly confused others. In this episode, we explore several more parables of Jesus.

Welcome back! So this is a fascinating topic. Did you know that the bible makes several references to a divine council of spiritual beings that meet with God to discuss heavenly and earthly topics? Well we are going to do our best to try to talk about it! Also, we couldn’t resist talking about more angels! Hope you enjoy this one!

Hey everyone! Sorry for the delay in uploading. Been a crazy few weeks as we all work full time in addition to the podcast. But we are back with a new episode for you. Join us as we discuss a couple of historical Christian figures, St. Valentine and St. Patrick (yes, that St. Patrick). We also go off the rails a little towards the end talking about angels and demons. Should be fun!

We made it to episode 20! Thank you all so much for listening! In this episode we explore some famous names from the bible. Specifically, Paul, John the Baptist, and Moses. Should be a fun one!

The Council of Nicaea has convened, the gospel is solidified, and the Christian Church is now legalized. In this episode, we explore some of the missteps and flaws of the early church.

In this episode, we wrap up discussing some more Christian Martyrs.

In this episode, we discuss some historical and contemporary Christian martyrs that have shaped the faith over the course of history. While a little bit on the heavier side, this topic is both important and fascinating to discuss.

We’ve all heard the stereotypes and all the jokes. Those pesky Christians are just so uptight, close-minded, illiterate, and just plain backwards. Right? Well you might want to give this episode a listen as we try to debunk those stereotypes and shed some light on these perceptions of Christianity.

In this episode, we continue our dive into the book of Acts. What does it teach? What were the effects of the events of Acts on the world at the time? Join us as we explore 4 stories from Acts that illustrate the power of the early church.

Jesus has risen, the disciples have gone their separate ways to create the new church. How does this new fledging church compare to the church now? What struggles did they face vs. today?

How do scholars know what should be in the bible? New manuscripts and texts are constantly being discovered by unknown authors claiming to add more to the story of Christ and the bible. Is this real? How do we decipher what is canon or heresy? Listen in to find out!

Episode 11 has landed! Today we talk prophecy. Specifically, the prophecies in the old testament that pointed to the arrival of Jesus. Can you guess how many prophecies are mentioned in the old testament related to Jesus?

Welcome back everyone and thanks for joining us for episode 10! Please pardon some of the audio issues in this episode as our internet connection was more sporadic than normal. For this episode, we discuss the old testament and lay some foundation for the old testament. We hope you enjoy!
