This video is so sad. A 19-year old girl who is homeless and addicted to drugs is caught shoplifting. When the police arrest her she starts crying for her “mommy” and that she “wants to go home” (which she doesn’t have as a homeless person). There are so many people…

Beauty is the most mysterious (and most misunderstood) of the transcendents, evoking another world. We experience beauty every day with all five of our senses: i.e., seeing a rainbow, hearing “Chevaliers de Sangreal” by Hans Zimmer, smelling “Neroli Savuage” by Creed, feeling fine silk and tasting dark chocolate. Groothuis reminds…

While I incorporate multiple other areas into my apologetics (i.e., classical, evidential, cultural, ecclesial, expository apologetics; the reliability of the NT manuscripts, the problem of evil, ethics, transcendent arguments from beauty, morality, etc.), those are all peripheral issues that I…

A worldview represents one’s understanding of reality. This understanding can either correspond to reality or deny reality. False worldviews have an inevitable tendency to either collide (sometimes violently) with other worldviews, or implode. Some of the major conflicts in our culture represent worldviews in collision: i.e., between naturalism and supernaturalism,…
