Thinking Faith

Every major world religion answers the same question: How do I get right with God? And in almost every case, the answer is the same: Do more. Try harder. Earn it. Islam calls believers to the Five Pillars. Hinduism teaches karma — your actions determine your fate. Buddhism lays out the Eightfold Path as the road to liberation. And even much of what passes for Christianity today quietly whispers th...

Christians often say, “I feel like God is telling me…” But how do you actually know if it’s God? Is it a feeling? A thought? A voice?  Or could it be something else entirely? In this episode, we open the Bible and take a closer look at one of the most important and often confusing questions for believers: How can you tell if it’s really God’s voice speaking to you? We’re not trying to create fear...

Christians often hear popular Bible verses quoted as if their meaning is obvious. You see them on coffee mugs, T-shirts, and social media — but many of these verses are taken out of context and misunderstood. So what’s actually true? In this episode, we open the Bible and take a closer look at one of the most important questions for growing believers: Are some of the most popular Bible verses bein...

Christians often hear people say, “The Old Testament laws don’t apply anymore.” Others insist that Christians should still follow them. So what’s the truth? In this episode, we open the Bible and explore a question that has confused many believers: If Jesus fulfilled the law… what parts still matter for Christians today? We’re not trying to create arguments between Christians. And we’re not ignori...

Christians vs. aliens, UFOs, and UAPs.  The government says they’re real. Pilots are seeing things. Congress is holding hearings. The language has shifted from “UFO” to “UAP.” But as Christians, the deeper question isn’t just Are they real? — it’s What are they? In this episode, we open the Bible and explore a perspective many believers have never seriously considered: What if some of these encoun...

In today’s coffee shop episode of the Thinking Faith Broadcast, we tackle a question sent in by students: Can you be gay and a Christian? More specifically: Will LGBTQ people go to heaven if they claim to follow Jesus? We don’t claim to determine anyone’s salvation—but we do open the Bible and ask what Scripture says about sexuality, sin, love, and what it means to follow Christ in a culture where...

Top differences, spelled out in a highly listenable, fast-paced podcast.  In this episode of The Thinking Faith Broadcast , Beau and Jerry Chevassus examine Mormonism (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) alongside historic, biblical Christianity by comparing official LDS teachings with Scripture itself . The conversation focuses on doctrine — the things Christianity has always conside...

"Church is boring. And full of hypocrites. I'd much rather connect spiritually out in the wilderness. Or even sleeping in." Here's why church is important. BONUS: "What's up with our youth groups?" 70-75% of teens leave the church after graduating... is this a failure for youth departments in churches? Apologetics vs. Real-World Questions is where Christian faith...

Old Earth or New Earth? My friend says she's trans... what pronoun do I use? Can a Christian believe in evolution? What is speaking in tongues?  Apologetics vs. Real-World Questions is where Christian faith meets honest, unscripted conversation. Hosted by Beau Chevassus, founder and president of Knok Studio (est. 2010), The Thinking Faith Broadcast exists to wrestle with the toughest question...

There I sat, puzzled by what my geology professor was saying. "Wait," I asked myself, "How can the earth be millions of years old? I thought Genesis said it was only created in 6 days?"  And thus is the question that has stopped a lot of people from considering the Christian faith... How can Christians say the earth is only 4,000-6,000 years old when there's so much eviden...

From our hot list of questions, we’re asked, “Can a Catholic be saved? Are Catholics Bible-believing?” Jerry Chevassus has an unfair advantage because he actually grew up catholic. The answer you hear may surprise you, and with luck… ruffle some feathers. 😉 As mentioned in the podcast, one phenomenal book is “Catholics and Evangelicals, Agreements and Differences” found here on Amazon .  Here&apo...
