How do we give a defense for the hope that we have? Let's start with a few questions that every

person wrestles with in their lifetime. Who am I? Why am I here? What is wrong with the world? And how

can the wrong be made right? Today we are answering these questions from two worldviews, secular

humanism and Christian theism and how relying on the truth of God's mercy helps us prove faithful.

Welcome to the Sheproos Faithful podcast, episode number 61, truth and encouragement to live

gospel-centered lives every day. I'm your host, Lauren Lushak.

Hey, everyone, thank you so much for joining me on today's show. If this is your first time,

my name is Lauren, the host of the podcast, where we talk about things that help us prove faithful

and what the Lord has given us to do. So I'm glad you're here today.

It's going to be a good one.

Secular Humanism, Christian Theism.

I mean, what other things would you rather listen to?

Christmas and the holly jollies until after you eat turkey. But this is important because it is coming up.

And if you're like me, you're a deal hunter.

You start early.

I started Christmas shopping in October because I do not like paying full price for things.

But I also love being able to have the time to think thoughtfully about gifts and not the pressure of,

oh dear, Christmas is in two days. And it's snowing and I have nothing for my family. I'm just going

to make coupons with broken crayons that I've found on the floor for free things that I can do. I will make your bed.
