Do you ever feel the pressure to earn approval or validation?

Here’s a thought: Christianity flips that script entirely, proposing that you don’t have to earn favor—it's already given.

What do you think about that concept?

Dr. Sharon Dirckx shares an invaluable lesson: “Learn to ask good questions. When talking with others, we’ve tended to give monologues, but actually we need to learn to have dialogue. That requires asking good questions and learning about the person.”

She highlights how “Jesus was brilliant at this. He asked a lot of questions… that opened up a whole part of someone’s heart.”

Are we truly listening to others, or are we just waiting for our turn to speak? How can we incorporate the art of questioning into our conversations to foster deeper connections?

For more, check out Dr. Dirckx podcast episode, "Making Sense of Science and Faith," on our website, YouTube channel, or any podcast streaming platform.

In our latest podcast episode, we tackle the big question: What is the basis for morality? John shared, “Society, it’s always changing its morals and does not provide solid evidence for having morals… I would always change the morals to fit my own desires. So what is the basis for morality?”

Then it hit him, “Maybe this is the God concept. If anything else, maybe God is the standard of morality that wants to get at us and make us want to be honest.”

How does your concept of God shape your understanding of morality, and can we truly find an unchanging moral standard without Him?

We have had some new friends & followers around here since the launch of eX-skeptic and thought it was time to reintroduce our host!

Meet Jana Harmon, the founder of eX-skeptic! In a time when discussions about Christianity are often clouded by stereotypes and assumptions, Jana believes in the power of listening to one another’s stories.

Driven by her passion for authentic exploration of faith, she created eX-skeptic as a space for skeptics and atheists to share their journeys and explore why they chose to believe in God. With a Master’s in Christian Apologetics from Biola University, she also earned her PhD in Religion and Theology from the University of Birmingham, UK, it was this passion that drove her doctoral research on the conversion of atheists to Christianity.

Alongside hosting the eX-skeptic podcast, Jana taught as Adjunct Professor of Cultural Apologetics at Biola University and currently serves as a Senior Fellow for the C.S. Lewis Institute. You can also find her speaking at various conferences and engaging in meaningful conversations across Christian communities.

Join us in exploring the stories that inspire faith!
