In this podcast, Jim examines the popular viral video from Jefferson Bethke, "Why I Hate Religion But Love Jesus". Did Jesus really come to abolish religion as Bethke claims? What can we learn from Bethke’s creative effort to help us become better communicators of the Gospel? Jim also discusses "theistic evolution", information in DNA and the nature of science.

If DNA contains “information”, where did this information come from? What is “information” in the first place, and can it come from anything other than an intelligent source? Jim also answers listener email related to the nature of truth and the role of evidence and faith.

In this episode, Jim reads a recent article from the Huffington Post that claims that the ID Movement is dead and should never have been embraced by Christians. Is ID legitimate “science”? What is the role between ID and “science”? Jim also answers listener email related to the trustworthy nature of the Gospel accounts, how to respond to skeptics and the authorship of the Old Testament.

Why would a loving God require a gruesome death on the cross? How could God do such a thing to an innocent man?

Jim also examines the role of Luke's Gospel and it's value alongside the eyewitness accounts of Mark, Matthew and John.

In this episode, Jim discusses the importance of spiritual “falsifiability”, using the claims of Eckhart Tolle as an example. Can spiritual claims be evaluated evidentially?

In this episode, Jim interviews Jonathan Morrow, the author of Think Christianly, an important new book that will help us adopt and experience a life that is shaped and directed by our Christian Worldview. How should Christians engage the culture around them? What does our worldview have to say about the most important issues of life? Jonathan’s book will help you to think “Christianly”.

Why do we celebrate the birthday of Jesus on December 25^th? Was this date established by the early Church to capitalize on the popularity of pagan Roman celebrations that preceded it, or was the date assigned by early church leaders because it was nine months after the celebration of Jesus’ conception? Jim examines possible theories related to the dating of Christmas and asks if any of these dating efforts should influence whether or not we, as Christians, ought to celebrate Christmas. Jim also answers listener email related to the orthodoxy of house churches.

Can we trust the gospels if we don’t have an original copy until the 4^th Century? How can we build a circumstantial case for the reliability of Christianity if we don’t have the original copies of any of the Gospels? Also, are Jehovah’s Witnesses properly quoting the Early Church Fathers when they argue that the Father’s did not believe in the Trinity?

In this episode of the PCM Podcast, we present an excerpt from Jim’s guest host appearance at Stand to Reason Radio.
