Merry Christmas! Wait, is it a merry Christmas? After all, doesn't Christmas have a pagan origin? Is the idea of followers of Jesus celebrating Christmas really "merry" after all?  In this episode you'll learn a basic introduction to the history of where Christmas came from, what's really being celebrated, and why it's NOT a problem for Christians to observe this holiday. Just in time for the frui...

"Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord" (Ephesians 6:4).  It's almost Christmas, which means we're in the middle of Advent Season. Advent is the time of year when Christians remember the first coming of the Lord Jesus...  when God the Son became the Son of Man.  If you're like me, you're looking for ways to ma...

Do you want to follow biblical principles in all arenas of life? If so, you've probably found that it's not always easy to know how biblical ideas translate and apply to everyday life. You need to be in godly, manly, fraternal community, my friend.  That's what we're talking about in this episode of the ThinkPod.  Joel Settecase is joined by Micah Morgan and Dr. Khaldoun Sweis. Micah is...

Given the state of things, it’s easy to feel like you’re the only one who “gets it” and to despair. If we’re operating primarily by pride, we will isolate ourselves and have no hope. However, the Gospel truth kills our pride and opens your eyes to the reality that there are many other faithful saints, and that you are united to them in brotherhood in Christ. Rather than despair, this brings us to...

(What "This" is is given in the first two words of this episode.) "Let's say one day you decide to share the message of the Bible with your neighbor. He says he's not a Christian but will believe in Jesus if you can prove that God exists. Here's the catch: he says you can't use the Bible to prove it, because he doesn't believe in it. What do you do?" Welcome to the ThinkPod—helping fathers lead th...

In this session we're considering the following questions: What is knowledge? Where does knowledge come from? What is knowledge for? Can we have knowledge, without God? How is it possible to know anything at all?

Have you ever been asked a question that you weren't ready for? Maybe it was one of your employees asking your opinion on some current event. Or maybe it was a kid in the Sunday School class you teach—or even your own kid—asking you something about God, or the Bible, or how we really know something we believe is true… and it caught you off-guard? In this video you will hear biblical answers to: •...

Welcome to the Think Podcast with Joel Settecase. This is the latest of the Chaplain's Corner episodes, a series of short lessons that I gave to my sons' TrailLife troop. I'm the assistant chaplain for the troop. My purpose here is to give you dads something bite-sized to pass along to your children, to help give them a biblical perspective on life. After all, you can't defend the Christian messag...

What is really real? What explains reality and why things are the way they are?  The study of real reality, prime reality, is metaphysics. And the question of prime reality has been a live one at least since Heraclitus said "All is fire" and Thales said "All is water. There are other questions bound up with this question, too. As a thoughtful follower of Jesus Christ, you need to be able to a...

You want to lead your family in defending the Christian message. Before you can defend it, you need to be able to explain it. This course will take you through the seven biggest questions of life, and how they are answered by the biblical worldview—and its competitors. This is Session One. What you'll learn this session: What a worldview is Why it's important to have a biblical worldview The seven...

In this episode, Roy Schwarcz joins me again, and he's going to lay out in vivid detail the proof, from the Old Testament, from the Tanakh, that Jesus of Nazareth really is the promised Messiah. Roy and I have talked about Passover (here: https://thethink.institute/articles/why-do-christians-celebrate-passover-roy-schwarcz-2021-interview ) and Shavuot (here: https://thethink.institute/articles/sha...

This is an Apologetics AMA (Ask Me Anything) Joel Settecase recently did on the Politics Server on Discord. Questions answered in this AMA: How can Unconditional Election be biblical, when John 3:16 says “whosoever?” I’m scared—what if I’m predestined to be damned no matter what? What does the Bible say about free will? If the historicity of the Old Testament were invalidated, would that invalidat...

This is an Apologetics AMA (Ask Me Anything) Joel Settecase recently did on the Politics Server on Discord. Questions answered in this AMA: Sacerdotalism (the view that a priest can be a mediator between God and man) was the view of the church for 1,500 years [sic]. Does this mean it must be true?  Is God's essence one? Then why do Christians worship Him through [sic] a Trinity? Do you believe tha...

How did the Lord Jesus and the Apostle Paul contend for the truth? Is it true that they used presuppositional apologetics? Spoiler alert: yes they did. This course will examine the biblical, presuppositional method and analyze five apologetic encounters of Jesus and Paul, drawing out what they did, how they did it, and what we can learn from them. This is Session 6, taking a close look at Paul's e...
