Is belief in the Resurrection reasonable?

This episode is a debate about the question: Is it reasonable to believe that Jesus rose from the dead?

Catholic apologist Trent Horn argues that it’s reasonable and Matt Dillahunty, host of the radio show “The Atheist Experience,” argues that it’s not. As they lay out their arguments and take questions from patrons, they talk about:

– What makes a belief reasonable
– How we should investigate a miracle claim
– Physical and testimonial evidence about past events
– Whether there’s sufficient evidence for the Resurrection

Cosmological Argument For God’s Existence w/ Michael Jones

In this episode, I talk with Michael Jones, who runs the YouTube channel “Inspiring Philosophy,” about the Leibnizian Contingency Argument for God’s existence. If that sounds like a mouthful, don’t worry. We break it down and explain the whole thing.

Along the way we touch on questions like:
– Does everything that exists have an explanation?
– What is the “principle of sufficient reason”?
– Can there be an infinite chain of causes going back forever?
– Could there be a nonmaterial cause of the universe that’s NOT God?

Orthodox VS Catholic Debate on the Papacy

In this episode, I bring on two guests to debate this question: Is the doctrine of papal primacy given at the First Vatican Council true to apostolic tradition?

My guests are Fr. Patrick (who goes by “John Ramsey” for his books), an Orthodox priest, and Erick Ybarra, a Latin rite Catholic speaker and blogger who specializes in Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy. They discuss:

– What papal primacy means
– How the pope’s authority was understood by Church councils throughout history
– Disagreements that Church Fathers had with the bishop of Rome (aka, the pope) and whether they thought they were obedient to him
