Should Christians Embrace Theistic Evolution?

There’s a lot of discussion right now about this question. Is theistic evolution a good ‘middle way’ for the scientific minded Christian? I offer some thoughts on where to begin answering this question in this short video:

Fore more on theistic evolution, see the helpful website Faith and Evolution.

I go into more detail on how this discussion plays out in the public square and how to equip the next generation here.

Dr. Stephen Meyer was recently on Stand to Reason talking about theistic evolution. You can access that here.

You Were Not Designed To Be Alone…Check Out The New “Welcome To The Family” Documentary

A new documentary featuring Christian hip-hop artist PRo (along with Lecrae and others) makes a compelling case for biblical community. I had the opportunity to be interviewed in it and am excited about helping spread this important message. Check it out!

Also, PRo’s new album comes out March 27th – you can get it here.

Feelings Are Not A Good Foundation For Faithful Living

Feelings are great…in fact I have them all the time! But they are a lousy foundation for our faith. As our culture has shifted from a thinking culture to a feeling culture in the last 50 years, the under 30’s generation has been the most deeply effected. I think Nancy Pearcey is correct in her observation that “Young people whose faith is mostly emotional are likely to retain it only as long as it is making them happy. As soon as a difficult crisis comes along, it will evaporate” (Saving Leonardo: A Call to Resist the Secular Assault on Mind, Morals, and Meaning, 16-17). They need to be trained and challenged to think hard about their faith.

Learning to feel our emotions and be able to express them to others is vital for developing a healthy heart (and takes great courage! cf. Prov. 4:23). I’m not downplaying feelings and emotions. I just want to add reason to the equation as well. Imagine if students emerged from our churches equipped to understand what is going on in their hearts and able to use their minds to understand, defend, and commend a Christian worldview (Jude 3)? Why do we have to settle for one or the other? I don’t think we do. That is one of the reasons I wrote Welcome to College to help students (and those who love them) be prepared to walk with Jesus Christ during the exciting and challenging college years. Graduation is coming up and a new batch of students are heading off to college….are they ready? They can be…

Growing Deep In the Lord

“And now, just as you accepted Christ Jesus as your Lord, you must continue to follow him. Let your roots grow down into him, and let your lives be built on him. Then your faith will grow strong in the truth you were taught, and you will overflow with thankfulness.”–Col. 2:6-7 NLT

We never outgrow this process.
