Worldview Legacy | The Think Institute

The Bible says God created the world in six days… right? Well, yes, it does. But the world says otherwise.  How will you respond? —- Today I'll specifically be answering: What 3 views of creation do most Christians hold? What's wrong with so-called evolutionary creationism? Why is old-earth creationism close but no cigar? Why am I a young-earth creationist? What are the negative implications...

No man wants to fail as a father, just like no homebuilder wants to build a house that collapses in the first storm of the season.

Let me explain… When it comes to viewpoints on fatherhood, there are many options today. The Christian idea of what it means to be a dad faces...

Joel Settecase shares his origin story. He started as a Bible in Chicago, only to realize that God had created him for something else.  The journey to discover what that was is what led him to starting this podcast.  Along the way, God would teach him more than he expected, especially as two major catastrophes struck his family.  ----  Subscribe to the Think Institute YouTube C...

Jesus told the church to make disciples of all the nations. And for a long time in our nation, spreading the truth of the Bible and Christian teaching was easier than it is now, because being a Christian was mainly seen as a positive thing by our society. However, in recent years our nation has changed and no longer views Christianity in a positive light. This means that  If we stick to old method...

Jeff Johnson wrote one of the most controversial books of 2021, and we’re going to talk about it with him. How do we come to know God? It’s one of the most important questions you can ever ask in life. But not everyone agrees on the answer—even among Christians. The study of knowledge is epistemology, and the study of God is theology. There have been very diverse approaches to both epistemology an...

If you’re a follower of Jesus, you have a king in Heaven; His kingdom is secure, and it will last forever. This is an important reality to keep in mind. Because of this, however, it can be tempting to ignore all earthly political issues as unimportant. Is this the correct posture for Christians? While we shouldn’t let politics dominate our lives, is there a proper way of engaging in the political...

Mass formation psychosis. Depending on whom you listen to, it’s either the perfect description of our cultural situation, or else it’s not a real thing at all. Jesus is king. We need to remember this. While we shouldn’t let politics dominate our lives, is there a proper way of engaging in the political realm, productively and biblically, without sacrificing our Christian integrity? And how do we l...

Are there parts of the Bible that make a claim, only to have that claim refuted by another part of the Bible? If so, this amounts to a contradiction—both statements cannot be true in the same way at the same time—and this would pose a major problem for Christianity, and for Christians.

Talking animals, people turning into pillars of salt, and sea monsters swallowing men whole (only to vomit them back up, alive, three days later): it sounds like the stuff of fairy tales… or perhaps ancient myths. But do these stories have a place among today’s trusted, historical volumes? Are these merely the kind of tales we tell children in order to teach good morals, or do they point to a gran...
