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.

Jim continues the discussion (started in PCM Podcast #245) related to Alberto Giubilini and Francesca Minerva’s paper for the Journal of Medical Ethics entitled, “After-birth abortion: why should the baby live?” Jim also discusses the recent lawsuit filed by two parents of a four-year-old child with Down syndrome.


Jim previews the new pro-life theatrical release, October Baby. This powerful new movie is an excellent opportunity to talk about life, God, forgiveness, and healing. In addition, the movie may open up a deeper discussion of the relationship between Christianity and the arts. How should we, as Christians, engage the world through art and entertainment? Jim also answers listener email about “personhood” and the impact of worldview.

In this special edition podcast, Jim plays the audio from his recent talk at a Sanctified Thinkers meeting. This group of Christians watched the Christopher Hitchens, William Lane Craig debate and then used this meeting to discuss some of their questions and concerns. Jim facilitated the meeting and responded to a variety of issues, from the relationship between Mithras and Jesus, the nature of the Trinity, the reasonable (or unreasonable) nature of the Virgin Conception and more.
