I return to Guy Powell's Podcast, The Backstory on the Shroud of Turin, to review another one of my Shroud Wars debate; this time, the debate between Resurrection scholar Dr. Gary Habermas (the Pro-Shroud side) and the Ultimate Shroud skeptic Hugh Farey. Majority consensus is that Gary clearly won this debate against Hugh in proving the truth of the Pro-Shroud side, but why? That is the question answered in the second half of this episode where Guy Powell and I assess the arguments made by both sides.Despite Hugh Farey's recent rude, sinful and disrespectful Blog posts against me and my sound logical reasoning in the debate I had against skeptic James Fodor, in this Podcast, I demonstrate to Hugh how a mature, charitable and substantive debate review ought to actually look like, such as the ones I'm more used to in academic circles as opposed to the more sarcastic, one-sided and Holy Spirit deprived gutter-level assessments he gives of me. Buckle up you Shroud skeptics, its time for your education in manners and scholasticism!RSM Blog = https://realseekerministries.wordpress.com/2021/10/26/shroud-wars-gary-habermas-hugh-farey-debate/

Guy Powell and Otangelo Grasso have teamed up to spread the Good News and Shroud of Turin evidence in various parts of the non-Christian world such as India, Pakistan and now Bangladesh.Guy Powell presented to hundreds of Bengali Christians who suffer persecution from their Muslim neighbors, but they risked their lives to hear Guy's excellent presentation which they could use to save their Muslim persecutor's souls some day.RSM Blog = https://realseekerministries.wordpress.com/2026/09/18/christian-evangelism-the-shroud-in-muslim-dominated-bangladesh-w-guy-powell/

Juan the Atheist from the Modern Atheism YouTube channel has invited me to debate him on whether human beings are essentially just a physical brain/body or is there more to us, are we immaterial souls? I shall be arguing for the latter while Juan will be denying it.RSM Blog (with free scholarly sources) = https://realseekerministries.wordpress.com/2026/09/17/soul-debate-are-humans-essentially-a-material-brain-or-an-immaterial-soul-w-juan-the-atheist/

To my horror, I was alerted to a video with the horrifying image of naked blue skeptic claiming to have debunked the Shroud of Turin. Naturally, as a Pro-Shroud expert, I was curious to see what this nude dude had come up with and what unfolded before my eyes was 30 mins of the stupidest Shroud skeptical shenanigans I have ever seen- and remember I've hosted Hugh Farey on my show, so that is saying something!The skeptics name is Mezzo and thanks to a fan of the show, Irish, I wanted to keep an eye out for this show supposedly debunking the Pro-Shroud side. What follows is nothing but hilarity, but it's great to know that this is the best that the Shroud skeptics can come up with in trying to refute the Shroud evidence these days lol :P*** Please note that the sarcastic nature and tone of this video is meant to be in good faith and not meant to seriously insult or offend Mezzo or any other Shroud skeptics- though I entirely understand if y'all refuse to show your faces for a few days after Mezzo's performance representing the skeptical case :)RSM Blog = https://realseekerministries.wordpress.com/2026/05/23/shroud-wars-panel-of-shroud-experts-on-lee-enochs-radio-show/

Mark Springer joins me to discuss his newest book, Gardens in the Galaxies. Have you ever asked yourself what could life have been like for Adam and Eve if they had never disobeyed God? This is the interesting premise of Gardens in the Galaxies, the new speculative fiction novel by Mark Springer. It's his second work of fiction, following Flesh Becomes Words, the debut novel that blends science fiction with spirituality. “The foundation of the book is based on an assumption of the truth of the scriptures and it explores the connection between Adam and Eve, the first Adam, and Jesus Christ, proclaimed in the scriptures as being the "last Adam" and what that means for all of us today.”RSM Blog = https://realseekerministries.wordpress.com/2026/09/11/gardens-in-the-galaxies-w-mark-springer/Mark's Website = https://www.springermark.net/Mark's Book = https://www.amazon.com/Gardens-Galaxies-Mark-Springer-ebook/dp/B0GGZNNKTQ/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0

Being personal friends with Caleb Jackson, I knew of the Atheist philosopher professor Joe Schmidt's current leanings toward Christianity for about a year or so before he announced his conversion. Joe even subscribed to my channel to follow some of my Shroud Wars shows and episodes on Eucharistic miracles from time to time (although I think he has totally forgotten me at this point lol).Anyways, I wanted to wait and not do an immediate and uninformed reaction to Joe's conversion, which I think is a great initial step toward Christ's kingdom on Joe's part- I truly welcome Joe to God's family as a brother in Christ and congratulate him accordingly; however Phil Bair felt it was necessary to provide an initial reaction to at least cover some general and initial reservations we had to his embracing of Catholicism on grounds that don't seem entirely logically or Biblically sound.

NASA engineer, teacher and author Steven Cole has written a new book, Catch the Wave: Experience the Thrill of Spirit Empowered Living, where he shares his view that the Holy Spirit is not meant to remain a vague doctrine sitting at the edges of church life, but the active, guiding presence of God in the everyday life of believers. Cole says the modern church often talks about God the Father and Jesus while neglecting the Holy Spirit, even though the Spirit is presented as God’s presence, God’s voice, and God’s power on earth. Catch the Wave begins with Cole’s own life story, because it serves as the foundation for everything that follows. He describes a lonely childhood marked by bullying, dyslexia, and a sense of being out of place. His first awareness of God comes in a small, almost ordinary moment. His main message is that ministry is not reserved for a select few. In his words, the whole point is that “you can minister, too.”RSM Blog = https://realseekerministries.wordpress.com/2026/08/19/catch-the-wave-experience-the-thrill-of-spirit-empowered-living-interview-w-steven-cole/

Stephen Paul Edwards is back! He has written the 2nd of 3 books outlining his life and toxic relationships which helped him to overcome them to become a spiritual counselor.Stephen is great in that he is sincerely interested in having a good faith dialogue with me despite our disagreements and he does an excellent job of engaging back and forth with me on God, Hell and evidence for Christianity. I was a little more assertive this time around compared to Part 1, so I thank Stephen for maintaining a great attitude and always being willing to hear me out and share his own take on my arguments.RSM Blog (with free sources and the first 3 chapters for free of both his books) = https://realseekerministries.wordpress.com/2026/03/13/stephen-paul-edwards-the-venus-fly-trap-sex-lies-and-repercussions/
