Are you ready to examine what you believe?

Are you ready to examine your faith and stretch your mind as we talk about the evidence for God and the reasons why Christians believe what we believe?

I'll be your host for the next 60 minutes. I'm a cold case homicide detective, a seminary graduate, and a church planner. And my name is Jim Wallace.

Come and sit down, son. We need to talk.

Yes, you are listening to the Please Convince Me podcast. Thanks for joining us today. We are continuing our series on evidences for the existence of God, many of which are still posted on our podcast page on the website.

But if you're looking for some of the past podcasts we've done on this issue, you can go to our Academy page because we really started the Academy in many ways just to archive some of our past podcasts.

And as we did that, we realized, wow, if we went back and kind of provided some good PDF files of our web pages and those sections, we could really develop a curriculum of sorts.

And that's what we now as posted at the Please Convince Me Academy page. So go back there and take a look at that. And you can see into the Theism section, which is curriculum number two, many of our past podcasts on these issues.

And if you know, if you are running right now or listening to us in your car or are listening to some of their workout situation, I actually listen to most of the podcasts that I enjoy, I listen to on runs. And that kind of shapes, you know, if you're like me, you have certain runs that are the length of say the white horse in or maybe a better longer run, which might be the length of an entire standard reason episode, or maybe you are going to string together, you know,

I might string together 10, save up 10 break point podcasts, each of our, I think are about two or three minutes. And so, you know, string up a bunch of these and you listen to them as you run. And maybe you're doing that too. I would ask you, please share with your friends that you're listening to the Please Convince Me podcast, because that's really our goal. The reason why we even do a podcast is to try to get some of the issues that we discuss on our website out to a larger audience, because we do believe that, you know, guys, I think in Gauss, I think we were in a culture

of control war here in the sense that we have a battle of worldviews taking place. And if you're a Christian, you need to be equipped to go into this battle with some armor and with some tools. And if you are somebody who has a different worldview and many of you are atheists who listen, thanks so much for doing that. I think you listen because I make you anger because you are so adamantly sure that I'm not right. And you enjoy the kind of dialogue back and forth about what might be true and not true.

But I hope that we both have a mutual respect for each other because we are, we do believe that the worldview we hold is actually true. And we want to be able to engage the other side with that worldview.

So I think any place that you're going to get equipped to do just that is probably a place of value for you. And I hope we've become that. And please share that with others. That's the whole reason why we exist.

And then do me a favor. I always usually ask at the end, but if you be kind enough to go back to the website, sign up for our email team. Many of you have done that in the last couple of months. That's where I started asking you.

You'll be one of the 10,000 emails we send out each month to people just like you who are interested in apologetics and the Christian worldview and want to be better stewards of that information of that truth and better ambassadors for our faith. So please go back and join us now.

Today, we're going to start off a little bit differently. We're going to start off with some news about our website.

Hey, what's happening, Norm? That's a doggy dog world. I mean, I'm wearing a milk phone underwear.

What's happening to my world?

What happened? Yeah, cooler. It's explained it all.

Good evening. I'm Ron Burgundy. And this is what's happening in your world tonight.

Before we get started today, I thought I was taking a second to just tell you some of the latest things we're doing on our website.

We have made a few modifications. This has been a great period of maybe now about two, three months where we've been able to go back and do some updates on the website that I hope will help you as you study through some of the most important issues that we discuss here on our podcast.
