The Stand to Reason "Please Convince Me" Apologetics Podcast
The Stand to Reason “Please Convince Me” Podcast is hosted by J. Warner Wallace, cold-case detective and author of Cold-Case Christianity (A Homicide Detective Investigates the Claims of the Gospels). We examine the case for the Christian Worldview from an evidential perspective and do our best to tell it like it is. With the rules of evidence clearly in mind, we examine the case for the existence of God, the reality of dualism, the reliability of the Biblical text, and the deity of Jesus. Along the way we also take a critical look at the nature of the Christian Church in America today. Why are so many young people leaving the church? Why are so many older Christians apathetic and unengaged? Why do so few Christians understand what they believe, and why do even fewer understand WHY they believe it? Join us each week as we sort through the evidence for the Christian Worldview and examine the life of the Church. Please visit our websites at www.STR.org and www.ColdCaseChristianity.com.

In this podcast, Jim answers listener email and responds to two atheist objections. Most skeptics cite either the problem of evil or the unlikely occurrence of the resurrection in an effort to invalidate theism and the Christian Worldview. Why would God create our world in the first place if he could simply have ushered us directly into heaven and avoided all the pain and suffering? How do we account for those episodes in the scripture in which Jesus' followers seem to have trouble identifying him after the resurrection? Is this evidence that the resurrection was a fraud?

In this podcast, Jim finishes his series on the reliability of the Bible by examining the unifying theme of the Bible. How does the Bible answer the three most important questions related to "worldview"? Is there a single message that spans the Old and New Testament? Does the unity of the Biblical message provide us with any evidence related to the origin of the Bible?


In this podcast, Jim detours yet again into the popular culture to look at two Christian athletes and their role as Christian Ambassadors. Drew Brees and Tim Tebow have garnered a broad stage from which to proclaim the truth of the Christian Worldview. How are they doing? Is there anything that we can learn from their successes or their challenges? Has this Super Bowl given us an opportunity to talk about important issues with our friends and family? If so, how can we best take advantage of the opportunity?


In this podcast, Jim takes a one week break from his series on the reliability of the Bible to answer some listener email and talk about recent events. Jim describes his recent appearance at a local men's ministry event, and talks about the role of men in the church and the hunger that young people have for apologetics. Jim then discusses the newest PCM TV video on YouTube and concerns related to the concept of God's "middle" knowledge. Finally Jim discusses his upcoming radio interview related to the Tim Tebow SuperBowl commercial.
