1. Resistance to Tyranny is Obedience to God. In this episode, we discuss tyranny and resistance while reading a book of the same title by Reformation scholar David Mark Whitford. What is tyranny? When are Christians called to resist tyranny, and what does that entail? Are there any standards by which a Christian may judge whether a government serves God or the devil?
  2. A call to trust in the Lord. John Andrew Schreiner sings "Who Can I Trust".
  3. Hey Man, Nice Shot. In this episode, we discuss Rene Girard’s argument for why Jesus’ death as a scapegoat is unique to all other sacrifices in human history. What is violence for? What is a scapegoat, and why is one necessary for peace and good order? How does Jesus break the law machinery that demands a victim?
  4. In the cultural debate over God's existence, should the burden of proof rest on atheism rather than theism?
  5. Today on the show, we head to the mailbag to answer another Christmas question.
  6. Debi talks with the Professor of Philosophy, Dan Deen, about common “scientific” objections to the Christian faith.
  7. Beneath the calm, within the light, A hid unruly appetite Of swifter life, a surer hope, Strains every sense to larger scope, Impatient to anticipate The halting steps of aged Fate. Now listen to Ringside.
