The audio arm of Christian apologist and evangelist, Rob Lundberg. Rob is a professor of Christian Apologetics and Worldview Studies at a local Christian college.

In 2 Timothy 3:16, we read the words "All Scripture is inspired by God. . . " But what is the Bible? Is it just one book or a compilation of 66 books? But what about other books, like the Apocrypha or books from the competing world religions? What is it about the 66 books that makes the Bible the Word of God With our churches showing the history of…

In 2 Timothy 3:16, we read the words "All Scripture is inspired by God. . . " But what is the Bible? Is it just one book or a compilation of 66 books? Is it early, or late? Is it spurious or authoritative? With our churches showing the history of poor discipleship through the means of church music eroding our churches, we need to get back to unders…

When it comes to the subject of religion and philosophy, the arenas of education, the media, and even politics seek to make statements they know little about. One statement is that all religions teach and say the same things. In 2 Corinthians 10:5 tells us that "we demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of…

Easter Sunday means so many different things to different people. But to true Christians, the resurrection of Jesus Christ is the most important truth in all of human history. In fact, historical Christianity stands or falls on the truthfulness of this event. Did Jesus really rise from the dead? If Jesus is truly risen then Christianity is true and…

Is it wrong to be a mindful person? That depends on what one means by being "mindful." There is a difference between being mindful of the truths that honor the one true God.

How do you know whether or not the Trojan Horse of new age teaching has crept into your church? One of those pieces of deception that has crept into the church is this thing known as Contemplative or Centering Prayer. Is it biblical or is it something totally foreign to a biblical worldview? Just because the word "prayer" is used in the description…

Every so often you will hear or read about someone praying to angels. Those in the new age spirituality and in the New Apostolic Reformation will often talk about communicating with angels.

With the rumors of a "great reset" on the horizon, I am 'stealing' this idea to bring to you in this episode of The Let's Get Real Podcast, a presentation of what apologetics should look like for the believer and the church in a post Christian culture. Too many times am I hearing that the apologist is about arguing for the faith against other relig…

In this episode of The Let's Get Real Podcast, I present my case for life in the womb from the point of conception. In this defense, I do not start from the theological point, but from the point of the science of defining what a life system truly is. From presenting the science, I move to the ethical perspectives, and then move to the theological p…

In this episode of The Let's Get Real Podcast, I give a response to some of the false prophecies made by LDS non-Prophet Joseph Smith.

If you have ever spoken with a couple LDS missionaries and the conversation gets to talking about the credibility of the Book of Mormon (BoM), chances are you have heard something along this line: "The gospel of Jesus Christ disappeared from the earth after the death of the Apostles and the ascension of Jesus because there was an apostasy by the ea…

What does the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (a.k.a. Mormons and the Church of Jesus Christ) believe about the basics? While they may use the same terms as Christians use, their religious movement is a far cry from being historically orthodox (correct teaching). How do the LDS view God, the Priesthood, salvation and other matters are a…

Muslims and their apologists like to assert that the doctrine of the Trinity is a pagan and polytheistic. But is it really? In this episode, I discuss the oneness of God, and bring to the table the issue of an I/You relationship between God and man that Christianity has that Islam does not have? That means that Muslims do not worship that same God …

Many cults who misrepresent the Trinity will tell you that the Holy Spirit is an "It" or a "Force" and not the Third Person of Trinity. Others will say that the Holy Spirit is a third mode of the Trinity (modalism) and come up with a corrupted view of the Trinity. But historical Christianity prescribes that the Bible describes the Holy Spirit as Pe…

The Trinity is one of the most misunderstood doctrines of the Christian faith? It is misrepresented by Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses, and it is attacked by Muslims. It is misrepresented by various illustrations by Christians and pastors. In this episode, I share with you what the Trinity is and what it is not. Please note that we cannot understan…

This week's episode to The Let's Get Real Podcast, I follow up with presenting source quotes to substantiate the usage of the mathematical operations (+ - x and /) for recognizing a cult or cultic teaching. The church and culture has been inundated with the cults and cultic teaching since the 1800's and even before in the early 1st century church; …

We live in exciting times in the history of the Christian church, and there has never been a time where apologetics in the church is necessary with particular reference to cults and false teaching in the churches. In this episode I am changing some direction in focus to aiding the Christian and the church on how to recognize the bad joo joo we are …

When asked to define the greatest commandment of the Law, Jesus answered that inquiry by saying, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the greatest and most important command." But over the last several decades, it seems that one aspect has eluded the modern church. Indeed the …

Why are there defections in the church? What are there kids walking away from the faith? It is because of the last few decades in American Christianity, that there has been little concern for thinking on why Christianity is true. In this episode, I lay out a handful of problems of anti-intellectualism and present about seven solutions for the churc…

We hear a lot of stories of Christian celebrities deconstructing their faith. There is also a recent article by Sean McDowell, mentioned in last week's podcast about GEN Z being the most skeptical of all the generations of present day. What is anti-intellectualism? How far back does it go? What can we do to turn the tide around. This episode is the…

Moralistic Therapeutic Deism is the the worldview of many Millennials and Gen Z's. The term that was first introduced in the 2005 book Soul Searching: The Religious and Spiritual Lives of American Teenagers by the sociologist Christian Smith with Melinda Lundquist Denton. The term is used to describe what they consider to be the common beliefs amon…

If you were asked, what is the greatest chapter in the Bible that displays apologetics, what would say? Some might say, 1 Kings 18 where Elijah confronts the false prophets of Baal. Others will most likely go to Acts 17. In Acts 17 we see three instances or accounts of the Apostle Paul's engaging his audiences His first stop was Thessalonica where …

When it comes to understanding the need for doing apologetics, there are three kinds of Christians (and pastors). There is the "I understand the need for doing apologetics and I want to get started." There is the "I understand the need, but I am not sure about how it applies for doing ministry." And then there is "I don't need apologetics, Just giv…

The term "apologetics" is a legal term that speaks to the making of a case for something. When we speak of Christian apologetics, we are addressing the idea of making a case for why Christianity is true. In this episode, I address what apologetics is and what it is not. I also share a little bit of my background as to how I got into apologetics and…

Have you ever tried to share the good news of Christ with someone who has no intention of believing like you do? I have, and let me tell you what I am finding. What I am seeing with the ideological shifts our culture is taking, that much of the kind of evangelism today involves a conversational type of evangelism. Think of it like gardening, planti…

In your attempts to share the Good News of the Christ, have you ever had someone put a halt to your advance and tell you that they "believe in God?" There are many views as what that belief might be that we need to probe so that the truth can be presented. Springboarding off of Point 3 in the Twelve Points that Show Christianity is True ("A theisti…

Is truth absolute or relative? For anyone who claims to have done any evangelism and not engaged any objections to the subject of truth being knowable, has not done real evangelism in our post truth culture. Relativism is the philosophical position that all points of view are equally valid and that all truth is relative to the individual. But, if w…

If you recall, I mentioned that the Bible would distinguish between the remaining theistic worldviews. Since God cannot lie, it is safe to say that we can conclude that the Bible is in fact the Word of God. This means that Christianity is objectively true because Jesus taught that the Bible is the Word of God (Point 11); and it is true regardless o…

When we began our investigation of the reliability of the Bible (Point 6) focused only on the New Testament. The reason for this is because that is where we learn who Jesus is (even though Jesus was prophesied in the Old Testament). We concluded that Jesus is God and that whatever He teaches is necessarily true (Step 10). Therefore we can trust wha…

This week's episode is one that stems from a deduction of who Jesus truly is. If we recall in our argument we shared that Jesus is God (Point 9) by way of proving it via the resurrection. As Being itself God is necessarily Truth itself. Hence God cannot lie. So if Jesus is God He cannot lie either and whatever He teaches is true. In this episode we…

We are three quarters of the way through The Twelve Points That Show Christianity Is True. Here is where we are up to this point: 1. Truth about reality is knowable. 2. Opposites cannot both be true (The Law of Noncontradiction). 3. It is true the theistic God exists. 4. If God exists, then miracles are possible. 5. Miracles performed in connection…

Working through this series on the Twelve Points that Show Christianity to be true, we are building our case on logical premises that will assist you in making your case and understanding of the Christian faith credible in a secular society. By way of review let's go through what we have covered to this point: Truth about reality is knowable (Point…

Who is Jesus? Is He just a great teacher? Is He just a mere Prophet as Muslims claim? Or is He God in human flesh. The New Testament tells us that Jesus clearly identified Himself as Yahweh, the God of the Bible, in both word and deed such that His First century audience wanted to have Him stoned. The original Apostles also identified Jesus as God,…

With the rising skepticism in our culture and in the churches today, many Christians (pastors and lay people alike) are not able to defend the reliability of the Old and New Testaments. There is a need to revive learning in our churches on defending the faith. There is also an onslaught in the subject in verbal plenary inspiration of the Bible, whe…

Since the opposite of true is false, and establishing the case for God's existence (last week), we now move to Point 4 and Point 5, which compile a strong case for miracles. Point 4 tells us that "since God exists, miracles are possible." Point 5 is included in this episode, and tells us that "miracles can be used to confirm a message from God." On…

If truth about reality is knowable and the opposite of true truth is false, then it must posit the possibility of a God who is also, like truth, invisible, absolute and unchanging. God is not just those things, but also supernatural, uncaused, all powerful, all present (transcendent), and all knowing. We see from science, that the universe (a natur…

In our culture today, many people "listen with their eyes and think with their feelings." Many of the cultural issues of our day place many people in the reality of subjective truth. Springboarding off our our first point that truth about reality is knowable (Point 1), we find ourselves making absolute truth claims. Those absolute truth claims cann…
