In this video I sit down and review the Backrooms from a Christian perspective. This was by far one of the most interesting and gripping movies I have ever seen. I discuss three topics: (1) the quality of the film, (2) the actual meaning of the film, and (3) the meaning of the film from a Christian perspective (a sort of "Backrooms biblical analysis"). This film illustrates Scriptural types and countertypes with bizarre accuracy. I was blown away at how many sort of newly established cultural anchors there are in the film that can be utilized to paint a picture of Hell, the human experience of being without God, and the freedom found in the Gospel of Jesus Christ.Essentially, the Backrooms is a picture of Hell, and all those who are lost and dead in their sins are in the Backrooms, and we need to be rescued from that darkness. Should Christians watch Backrooms? Should Christians watch horror movies for that matter? I think it depends on the movie. The only thing really bad about this movie was thankfully only the language. But the picture that it paints concerning Hell I think is a very helpful allegory for Christians to be aware of and to utilize in this cultural moment.#backrooms #moviereview #christian #analoghorror #christianyoutube -------------------------------LINKS--------------------------------Science Faith & Reasoning podcast link: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/sh...

In this episode, I break down a few basic pieces of evidence in support of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, such as the martyrdom of the apostles, women discovering the empty tomb, embarrassing details in the Gospel accounts, and secular/historical writings about Jesus and early Christian followers. There is no more important question than whether or not Jesus rose again from the dead. If He did, we would be wise to believe what He said about Hell, Heaven, and how we can be reconciled to God through faith in Him.--------------------------------LINKS---------------------------------Science Faith & Reasoning podcast link: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/science-faith-reasoning Coffee with John Calvin Podcast link (An SFR+ Production hosted by Daniel Faucett) https://open.spotify.com/show/5UWb8SavK17HO8ERorHPYN Learning the Fundaments (An SFR+ Production hosted by Shepard Merritt): https://creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/shep304/ -----------------------------CONNECT------------------------------https://www.scifr.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sciencefaithandreasoning X: https://twitter.com/SFRdaily

In this episode, I go through Hebrews 13:5-6, which says (ESV), "5 Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” 6 So we can confidently say, “The Lord is my helper; I will not fear; what can man do to me?”"There are three big takeaways from this text that I discuss:(1) We should make sure that our life and character is free from the love of money.(2) We should, instead of having a love for money and more money, be content with what we have, with what God has blessed us with.(3) As a remedy for the love of money, we should trust in the Lord, who has promised never to forsake us.I hope this episode, which was inspired by a Sunday school lesson I recently taught, will be a blessing to you.#Christian #Bible #biblestudy #Scripture #ChristianTeaching #faith #christianlife #christianpodcast #money --------------------------------LINKS---------------------------------Science Faith & Reasoning podcast link: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/science-faith-reasoning Coffee with John Calvin Podcast link (An SFR+ Production hosted by Daniel Faucett) https://open.spotify.com/show/5UWb8SavK17HO8ERorHPYN Learning the Fundaments (An SFR+ Production hosted by Shepard Merritt): https://creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/shep304/ -----------------------------CONNECT------------------------------https://www.scifr.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sciencefaithandreasoning X: https://twitter.com/SFRdaily

In this video, I explore a survey that was sent to over a thousand pastors and asked them about their views on Calvinism, as well as asking them to list their favorite pastors. No surprise, John Piper was the number one mentioned pastor of greatest influence for all pastors in the survey. Younger Christian leaders lean heavily in the Calvinistic direction, and elderly Christian leaders (those over 65 years of age) lean heavily in the Arminian direction.#jesus #apologetics #Christianity #Calvinism #johnpiper #reformed #scienceandfaith #christianpodcast --------------------------------LINKS---------------------------------Science Faith & Reasoning podcast link: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/science-faith-reasoning Coffee with John Calvin Podcast link (An SFR+ Production hosted by Daniel Faucett) https://open.spotify.com/show/5UWb8SavK17HO8ERorHPYN Learning the Fundaments (An SFR+ Production hosted by Shepard Merritt): https://creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/shep304/ -----------------------------CONNECT------------------------------https://www.scifr.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sciencefaithandreasoning X: https://twitter.com/SFRdaily

In this video, I discuss John 3:1-8 and 1st Peter 1:23-25 to uncover (1) why being born again is necessary to be with God, and (2) how we are born again through the living and abiding word of God (the Gospel).#Bible #apologetics #Christianity #calvinism #sciencefaithandreasoning --------------------------------LINKS---------------------------------Science Faith & Reasoning podcast link: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/science-faith-reasoning Coffee with John Calvin Podcast link (An SFR+ Production hosted by Daniel Faucett) https://open.spotify.com/show/5UWb8SavK17HO8ERorHPYN Learning the Fundaments (An SFR+ Production hosted by Shepard Merritt): https://creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/shep304/ -----------------------------CONNECT------------------------------https://www.scifr.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sciencefaithandreasoning X: https://twitter.com/SFRdaily

In this episode, I review the Biblical basis for encouraging church attendance and the beauty of what can be found in the local assemblage of the saints.

In this video, I explore why Catholic and Reformed Churches are experiencing a recent surge in popularity and attendance in the post-COVID era. Overall, I think Christians were tired of megachurch casual Christianity, and are wanting something more serious and traditional.#catholic #Christianity #reformed #reformation #calvinism #churchhistory #catholicism --------------------------------LINKS---------------------------------Science Faith & Reasoning podcast link: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/science-faith-reasoning Coffee with John Calvin Podcast link (An SFR+ Production hosted by Daniel Faucett) https://open.spotify.com/show/5UWb8SavK17HO8ERorHPYN Learning the Fundaments (An SFR+ Production hosted by Shepard Merritt): https://creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/shep304/ -----------------------------CONNECT------------------------------https://www.scifr.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sciencefaithandreasoning X: https://twitter.com/SFRdaily

In this video, I have ChatGPT write a sermon on the same passage of Scripture that I wrote a sermon on, and then I compared its sermon to my own for percent similarity, and they were scarily similar.

In this episode, I compare two perspectives on Philippians 1:29. The more Arminian perspective is that Philippians 1:29 simply means we are granted opportunities to believe in Christ and to suffer for His sake, not that those are actually given by God. The more Calvinistic reading is rather that God actually gives belief in Christ and suffering for His sake as gifts that are received; in other words, God grants the reality of these things, not simply the opportunity for these things.#calvinism #Bible #arminianism #reformed #apologetics #Christianity #exegesis --------------------------------LINKS---------------------------------Science Faith & Reasoning podcast link: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/science-faith-reasoning Coffee with John Calvin Podcast link (An SFR+ Production hosted by Daniel Faucett) https://open.spotify.com/show/5UWb8SavK17HO8ERorHPYN Learning the Fundaments (An SFR+ Production hosted by Shepard Merritt): https://creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/shep304/ -----------------------------CONNECT------------------------------https://www.scifr.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sciencefaithandreasoning X: https://twitter.com/SFRdaily

In this video, I review the recent TedX talk about Bible interpretations by Dr. Dan McClellan. This is an interesting one with a few nuances. His claim is that the Bible doesn't have inherent meaning.

In this video, Shepard and I sit down to discuss how his experience in the NIFB/IFB Movement hurt his relationships with his family, his friends, and even his church. We also consider how to have a more Biblical and historical view of the Scriptures that can be more unifying for the body of Christ.#kjv #kjvonly #apologetics #Christianity #fundamentalism #scienceandfaith #sfr #bible -------------------------------LINKS--------------------------------Science Faith & Reasoning podcast link: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/sh...

In this video, after two years of studying the NASB 2020, I have finally changed my mind about this translation of God's Word.
