Ordained minister, Dr. Dennis Hall, provides commentary on two conflicting points of view. The Pope summed up his Palm Sunday homily by challenging leaders to, “Lay down your weapons!” Then later in the week the President of the United States laid out the reasons that Iran had to be preemptively attacked asserting that United States had to take up arms to prevent a nuclear disaster. Since it is the Easter season and Christian churches are celebrating the resurrection this podcast addresses skeptics theories used to question the resurrection. Dr. Hall concludes the podcast by suggesting how believers should react to skeptics and critics of the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Ordained minister, Dr. Dennis Hall, opens this podcast by discussing the gruesome details of the torture and crucifixion of Jesus. The agonizingly slow death of Jesus by asphyxiation is explained. Dr. Hall then discusses the legend of the Dogwood tree and its unique botanical features that allowed this tree to become intertwined with the story of the crucifixion. An explanation of what sin is, is provided and why Jesus’atonement for our sins was necessary. The biblical concept of propitiation is explored as a sacrifice to prevent the wrath of God. Dr. Hall concludes the podcast by pointing out that because God sent his son Jesus to die on the cross as propitiation for our sins, our sins can be removed, our debt completely paid, and our relationship with God restored.

Ordained minister, Dr. Dennis Hall, and his special guest Dorothy Little discuss how support for same-sex marriages has soared since the Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriages in 2015. They especially focused on a survey that reported 48% of Generation Z identify as gay, lesbian, or bisexual. These Bible scholars pointed out that homosexuality has been prominent in societies for centuries and pointed out that many historians feel that homosexuality and immorality contributed to the destruction of ancient societies. These Bible scholars then went to Romans chapter 1 to gain insight about what the widespread acceptance of what homosexuality means for the future of American society. Both Bible scholars had much to say about what Christians should be doing in response to the prevalence of immorality in America. They also had much to say about how Christians should be interacting and reaching out to the LGBTQ community. The podcast concludes by pointing out that God through the apostle Paul is asserting that widespread acceptance of homosexuality is a warning sign that society is in serious moral decline. The celebration of Easter reminds us that God is prepared to forgive us and give us the tools to fight against evil in our society.
