Is the Christian God Immoral? (Part 1) Skeptics will charge that the Bible contains passages that promote slavery, sexism, and genocide. But how can the true God be sexist? How should we understand commands given in the Old Testament? Why didn't God prohibit slavery if it's such an abhorrent practice? In this podcast series, Lenny shows why the charge that the God of the Bible is immoral doesn’t make sense. Part 1 of 6

Applying Middle Knowledge to Difficult Questions (Part 4) The seeming tension of God’s sovereignty versus man’s freedom has offered fertile ground for rich theological discussion.

Wrestling with Worldviews (Part 2) What’s a worldview and why is it important? A worldview is the way one sees and interprets the way the world works.

In this class, we’ll learn how to begin to break through those barriers so you can better communicate your faith. Part 2 of 2
