Summary

Segment 1



• Dr. Jason Lisle argues that the strongest case for creation isn't fossils or geology—it's something far more fundamental.



• If information always comes from a mind, where did the instructions inside DNA originate?



• Carbon-14 findings in diamonds and dinosaur remains continue raising uncomfortable questions for deep-time assumptions.



Segment 2



• A secular psychotherapist asks a startling question: What if therapy is actually tearing people apart?



• Why does every difficult relationship now seem to involve someone who is "toxic," "narcissistic," or "traumatized"?



• Todd examines whether modern therapy culture is helping people heal—or teaching them how to stay offended.



Segment 3



• Young evangelicals aren't abandoning religion—they're searching for something they believe is missing.



• Incense, liturgy, church history, and ancient traditions are attracting a generation raised on seeker-sensitive Christianity.



• Were churches so focused on relevance that they accidentally stripped away transcendence?



Segment 4



• The answer isn't copying Rome or importing Eastern Orthodoxy into Protestant churches.



• What did the Reformers understand about worship, discipleship, and church life that many churches have forgotten?



• From catechesis to church history to reverent worship, Todd outlines what may be needed to rebuild depth before more young people leave.

We are the crowning glory of God's creation, and all of nature was made for us.

Free.

Resource at Fortisplus.org.

It is our fellow Dr. Jason Lyle.

0:50.5

He was in studio to not just present proofs of creation, but irrefutable proof of creation.

0:59.6

It is available at Fortisplus.org going to give you a little sneak peek to wet your whistle.

1:05.0

What you're about to hear are proofs that are like, okay, that seems irrefutable, and they're really, really good.

1:13.4

But Dr. Jason Lyell's contention is they're not irrefutable proofs.

1:19.0

He's going to share those that sound like they should be irrefutable, but then he will give us

Lyle. And I'd like to start by giving you some evidence of creation that is very good evidence,

1:39.7

that you feel free to share it, but it's not an irrefutable proof. And we'll see why that is. And I'm doing that so that you can see the contrast, so that you can see how this irrefutable proof is different from these other lines of evidence that are often used in the creation-evolution debate. And when we're done with this, we'll find that the proof is not just of creation. it's of the Christian worldview as a complete system of
