Join us in this thought-provoking podcast episode as we delve deep into the fascinating world of particle physics and theology. Our guest, Dr. Andrew Pinsent a renowned physicist and theologian, takes us on a journey to understand the enigmatic "God Particle" and its profound significance.

NEW EPISODE
UKRAINE: War & Faith

With the media focus being on the war in Israel, its easy to nearly forget their is still a war going on in Ukraine.

Societies, civilizations, and wars can never be fully understood without adding the context of belief. Religion and world view are always at the core. Ukraine and Russia are no different, even though their history is long and complex.

Ukraine is a nation with a rich tapestry of religious traditions and a history steeped in resilience. In this land, where faith has often been a source of unity and solace, it has also been a battlefield of beliefs, entangled with political, cultural, and national identity.

This episode explores how these deeply held beliefs have played a pivotal role in the ongoing war with Russia and seeks to understand the intricate connections between faith and the fight for sovereignty.

Ukrainian born and raised Yuriy Boyechko, Founder & President of HopeForUkraine, sheds light on this topic.

NEW EPISODE: Killers & Evil

In this episode, we delve into one of the most notorious chapters in American criminal history – the Son of Sam case. David Berkowitz, the infamous serial killer, terrorized New York City in the 1970s. His capture in August 1977 marked the end of his reign of terror, leading to his imprisonment and conviction for multiple murders. The Son of Sam case still sends chills down our spines, but it also raises thought-provoking questions about redemption, evil, and the human psyche.

Episode guest is Dr. Michael Capperelli, author of the recently released book 'Monster Mirror,' written after spending 100 hours in prison interviews with David Berkowitz.

Dr. Caparelli's unique background as a pastor for 16 years and his Ph.D. in Advanced Studies of Human Behavior make him uniquely qualified to understand both the spiritual and psychological aspects of human behavior.

'Monster in the Mirror' now available on Amazon and Barnes and Noble.

NEW EPISODE: 'A White Man's Religion?'
(Women, Race, and Slavery in the Bible)

In this thought-provoking episode we dive deep into the perception of modern-day Christianity in the Western world. Join us as we challenge the stereotypes that paint Christianity as primarily Caucasian and often criticized for its treatment of women within the church.

Contrary to these misconceptions, we explore the historical roots of Christianity, where early Christians were far from being primarily Caucasian, and the faith was even humorously mocked as the "religion of women and children" due to its female-dominated followers.

Additionally, we tackle a critical question: Does the Bible condone slavery? Our guest, apologist Abdu Murray, author of "More Than a White Man's Religion" and president of Embrace the Truth Ministries, provides insightful perspectives that unravel the misinterpretations surrounding this controversial topic.

Join us on a journey to understand the true essence of Christianity and its rich history, challenging preconceived notions and delving into the complexities of faith, diversity, and social justice in the context of religion.
