Coffeehouse Questions With Ryan Pauly

Ryan finishes 2019 by discussing often misunderstood aspects of the Christian story and taking live questions from listeners.

When it comes to culture today, how do we actually define gender? How can an understanding of Postmodernism help us understand each side better? My goal today is to give that clearer understanding.

Dr. Paul Gould joined the show to discuss his book, "Cultural Apologetics: Renewing the Christian Voice, Conscience, and Imagination in a Disenchanted World."

Is the Trinity logical? Is it biblical? How can I explain it without committing a heresy? This week's goal is to help you be able to accurately explain the Trinity, respond to objection, and show that it is both logical and biblical.

Ryan begins by discussing YouTube comments by an atheist. He then goes over the authority of Scripture and defends it with the internal and external evidence for the Bible's reliability.

Dr. Frank Turek, from CrossExamined.org, joined the show to discuss his work on college campuses, his books, and answer general apologetics questions.

Tim Stratton joined the show to discuss his time in youth ministry, why he started teaching apologetics and theology, and how that transformed the way he works with students.

Ryan stumbled upon an Instagram account promoting the prosperity gospel. This episode responds to some of the prosperity gospel posts and how we should understand biblical promises.

A students wrote me on Instagram and said she had been challenged by a friend that there are transgender people in the Bible. Is this true? Who was transgender? How should we respond? Listen as I apply a common tactic to this issue as well as the issue of Jesus being a recycled pagan myth.

It is common to hear that Christians are hateful for believing that Jesus is the only way? Why do Christians think they are right and everyone else is wrong? Well, this objection might be coming from a different understanding of truth. Listen as Ryan explains how we can understand and explain the exclusive nature of the Gospel.

Dr. Clay Jones joined the show to discuss the killing of the Canaanites in the Old Testament. Specific objections were raised from comments on a recent YouTube video.
