0:00.0 | Welcome to the Elisa Childers podcast, where we equip Christians to identify the core beliefs of |
0:05.2 | historic Christianity, discern its counterfeits, and proclaim the gospel with clarity, kindness, |
0:10.4 | and truth. And we are going to continue to do that even while I'm on sabbatical and not recording |
0:15.6 | full-length episodes until after the new year. But as we were going through some old content, |
0:21.7 | we realized that there were some posts that only went out to a select group of listeners. And many of you, if you've |
0:26.3 | been following the podcast for the past two or three years, have not heard these posts. And these |
0:31.4 | are short answers to tough theological and apologetics questions. Here's today's. |
0:55.9 | Music theological and apologetics questions. Here's today's. I've got bad news and good news. I'll never forget sitting in the dentist office awaiting the news. For the record, I am an utter wimp when it comes to my teeth. Sure, I gave birth to two babies with nothing more than a stick |
1:00.7 | to bite on, but threaten me with a dental drill and I'm out the door faster than you can say |

1:20.9 | Sedation, the good news, the transcendent glory of this invention of modern medicine would be |
1:26.0 | lost on me if I didn't first understand the |
1:28.8 | bad news that I needed a root canal. But once I knew dental pulp would be involved, sedation suddenly |
1:35.2 | became the best news ever. It's the same with the gospel, isn't it? It's a case of bad news and good |
1:42.6 | news. In fact, the word gospel literally means good news. |
1:47.1 | But if we don't understand what's wrong with the world, the bad news, we won't understand the |
1:51.7 | beauty of how things will be made right again, the good news. Greg Kokel describes four things |
1:57.1 | every worldview must explain. Creation, how things began, fall, how things got broken, |
2:03.7 | redemption, how things will get fixed, and restoration, how things will look once they are fixed. |
2:09.6 | In my last post, I explained that many progressives disagree with the historic Christian answers |
