  • Is faith necessary for science?
    Nov 6 2024

    Does evolution undermine belief in God? How about aliens? And what about miracles and the multiverse? In this week’s episode of Ask Away, Jo interviews Vince on whether science points us towards or away from God, and how as Christians we can engage with those who see science as having defeated God.

  • A case study of Jo(nah): Why do we say “No!” when Jesus says “Go”?
    Oct 23 2024

    “What about those who’ve never heard the gospel?” is an objection made against God’s fairness, but what if we re-directed the question back at Christians? After all, it’s clear that Jesus intended for his followers to be a solution to that problem by commanding them to “go into all the world and make disciples…” So what’s keeping us from obeying his final words? In this episode of Ask Away, Jo looks at a case study of the prophet Jonah (aka the world’s most reluctant missionary) as she considers what is taking place in our own hearts when we respond “no” to Jesus’ call to “go.”

  • How can I forgive myself?
    Oct 9 2024

    In our culture today we talk a lot about the importance of “self-forgiveness”, but what does that actually mean? Is it even coherent to “give” something to yourself? Most importantly, how is this relevant to the Christian life when “only God can forgive sins" (Mark 2:7)? If forgiveness is a topic that you struggle with (and honestly, who doesn't?!) then we hope that this week's episode of Ask Away will be an encouragement to you.

  • Jersey Shore Outreach: Does God want committed Christians?
    Sep 25 2024

    We are committed to all sorts of things in life, whether that be our hometown sports team, a political party, a fitness routine, or our religious faith. There can be many reasons to be committed to Christian practices that have little to do with Jesus Christ (e.g. tradition, culture, community, values, etc.). But is God inviting us into more? This episode of Ask Away features a talk that Vince gave at the Jersey Shore this summer as he asks the question: Could it be that we fail to experience real empowering in the Christian life because we’ve diminished what Jesus means when he asks us to follow him?

  • Are Christians Evidence Against God?
    Sep 11 2024

    The Bible describes becoming a Christian as so transformative that a new believer is likened to a “new creation”. This week Jordach asks, if that is true then how do we make sense of the fact that we often find unbelievers with a healthier balance of self-regulation, EQ, interpersonal interactions and an overall better lifestyle? Shouldn’t we expect that living with the Spirit of God inside would dramatically improve a person’s behavior? And if that’s not what we’re seeing, then is that evidence against the plausibility of the Christian faith? We'll be wrestling with this topic on today's episode of Ask Away.

  • Child sacrifice, war brides, and bear attacks: what are we to make of the Old Testament?
    Aug 28 2024

    Stories that shock us. Laws that unsettle us. Behavior that baffles us. Richard Dawkins once referred to the God of the Old Testament as “arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction.” Is Dawkins’ right in his verdict? And if not, how can we read the Old Testament in a way that helps us to make sense not only of the more troubling texts, but of the character of God? In this special episode of Ask Away, we’re featuring a conversation on this topic between Jo and our longtime friend, Dan Paterson, which was originally hosted on his Questioning Christianity podcast.

  • How can I deal with anxiety? Secular models and a biblical promise
    Aug 14 2024

    When it comes to dealing with anxiety, some secular models suggest that we are either underestimating ourselves or overestimating our problems—either we are stronger than we think or our burdens are lighter than we think.

    But what do we do when our fears are not exaggerated and irrational but actually grounded in the reality of our broken world? What do we do when our burdens are legitimately too heavy for us to carry on our own? This week on Ask Away, Vince discusses some of the secular models for engaging with anxiety, before offering a biblical hope that transcends all other approaches.

  • How do I build a life that’s meaningful?
    Jul 31 2024

    “I’ve always been more attracted to the idea that we make our own meaning. What do you think about that?” This question, asked by a freshman at UC Berkeley, gives voice to a perspective many hold today. What makes life meaningful? And is that a goal human beings can accomplish by ourselves? If these questions interest you, then check out this week’s Ask Away to hear a response from Jo at a recent event in Las Vegas.
