Thomas Kidd: You Might Be a Christian Nationalist If…

29th October 2024

What is a “Christian nationalist” and how do you know if you might be one? That’s the question Garrick Bailey and Timothy Paul Jones ask distinguished American historian Thomas Kidd. Along the way, Garrick and Timothy discover that the answer isn’t nearly as scary as some people seem to think. Garrick does, however, suggest a […]

Multiethnic church

Jamaal E. Williams: How Multiethnic Churches Provide Proof of God’s Truth

22nd October 2024

Heaven is multiethnic. Are you ready for that? The Bible tells us that the congregation gathered around God’s heavenly throne will be “a vast multitude from every nation, tribe, people, and language,” all singing the praises of the Lamb. God’s intention has always been to delight for all eternity in a redeemed community of ethnic […]

Styx, Mr. Roboto

Styx: “Mr. Roboto” and the Metanarrative of God

15th October 2024

Kilroy Was Here! During World War 2, “Kilroy Was Here” described a type of graffiti that American soldiers chalked on walls wherever they went. In 1983, the phrase gained a completely different meaning. That’s when the band Styx developed a rock opera and concept album—complete with a ten-minute dystopian science-fiction film—in response to accusations that […]

Timothy Paul Jones and Garrick Bailey: Every Christian Is an Apologist Now (Part 2)

26th March 2024

This is the second half of an exciting two-part episode of The Apologetics Podcast. Garrick and Timothy are still adventuring through time with a second-century apologist named Aristides, exploring three key points in his apologetic that addressed those that were skeptical of Christianity in his day.

In Church as It Is in Heaven Video Curriculum

28th December 2023

Most good curriculum for churches isn’t free, and most free curriculum isn’t particularly good—but, once in a while, someone produces a curriculum that’s both good and free. That’s what Jamaal Williams and I have worked to provide for you. InterVarsity Press has partnered with Jamaal Williams and me to provide churches with a professionally-produced In […]

Apologetics: The Church Is the Evidence

31st October 2023

I recently had the privilege of speaking at Refuel 23, alongside Gary Habermas, Amy Orr-Ewing, and others. What I prepared was a simpler and more practical version of my 2023 faculty address at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, with some additional apologetics research that I’ve added since that time. You can watch the video (above) […]

Timothy Paul Jones and Garrick Bailey: Every Christian Is an Apologist Now (Part 1)

19th September 2023

In this thrilling two-part episode of The Apologetics Podcast, Garrick and Timothy go back to the future. Or, perhaps more precisely, they go back to the second century for the sake of the future. In the book The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self, theologian Carl Trueman points out that the church’s challenges of […]

Jen Wilkin: How Bible Literacy Equips the Church to Defend the Faith

12th September 2023

In this episode, your intrepid cohosts learn why they need to get literate. “Bible literate,” to be exact. According to author and Bible teacher Jen Wilkin, Bible literacy is a vital tool when it comes to apologetics—and “Bible literacy” is not the same thing as “biblical literacy.” Biblical literacy means knowing about the Bible. Bible […]

Jamaal Williams and Timothy Paul Jones: What Is “Multiethnic Kingdom Culture” and Why Does It Matter?

13th July 2023

Heaven is a multiethnic kingdom culture. Are you ready for that? The Bible tells us that the congregation gathered around God’s heavenly throne will be “a vast multitude from every nation, tribe, people, and language,” all singing the praises of the Lamb. God’s intention has always been to delight for all eternity in a redeemed […]

Be an apologist without being a jerk

Garrick Bailey and Timothy Paul Jones: How to Be an Apologist without Being a Jerk

14th March 2023

You don’t have to be a jerk to be an apologist. In fact, if you’re being a jerk, you’re not doing apologetics in a biblical way, because biblical apologetics calls Christians to defend the faith in “meekness and fear” (1 Peter 3:15b). So how can you be an apologist without being a jerk? One of […]

Resurrection Jesus Saves

Garrick Bailey and Timothy Paul Jones: Resurrection-Centered Apologetics

7th March 2023

This episode begins with the infancy of Jesus and ends with his resurrection. It’s Garrick who brings up the infancy of Jesus, and it happens in the Raiders of Church History segment in a manner that’s far more awkward than Timothy anticipated. This episode is the first—and hopefully the last—time that lactation has ever been […]

Josh McDowell

Josh McDowell: How to Know God Exists

21st February 2023

If they made apologetics action figures, Josh McDowell would be one of the figures in the first set. If they made apologetics trading cards, Josh McDowell’s card would be in a collectible foil pack. He has toured with the pioneering Christian rock band Petra, and his book Evidence that Demands a Verdict was selected by […]

apatheism

Kyle Beshears: Apatheism, Mormonism, and Theological Shoegazing

14th February 2023

Welcome to the Apathetic Episode of The Apologetics Podcast! An episode focused on apathy and apatheism probably seems appropriate to all of you who have noticed how apathetic Garrick and Timothy have been about releasing new episodes for the past few months. But that wasn’t actually due to anyone’s apathy! It was because Timothy needed to […]

Timothy Paul Jones: We Are All Apologists Now

4th February 2023

A faculty address is given only once in a lifetime of academic research, and it becomes part of the institution’s permanent record of a professor’s scholarship. I had the privilege of delivering my faculty address “Brothers and Sisters, We Are All Apologists Now” in Broadus Chapel on Wednesday, February 1, 2023. This address is my […]

A New Plan for Reading through the Greek New Testament in 2023

27th December 2022

A language that you don’t use is a language you’ll lose—which is why so many pastors who labored so hard over Greek vocabulary and verb paradigms in seminary end up losing most of what they learned. The only way to maintain your knowledge of another language is to use that language regularly. And so, my […]

Huey Lewis and the News: The Holy Trinity and “The Power of Love”

9th August 2022

Garrick Bailey and Timothy Paul Jones have already devoted one entire episode of this podcast to love. That was when they discussed Foreigner’s 1984 hit “I Want to Know What Love Is.” But Garrick and Timothy are far too full of love to fit all of their feelings about love into a single episode. That’s why they’re […]

Garrick Bailey and Timothy Paul Jones: Abortion, Apologetics, and the End of Roe v. Wade

25th July 2022

Christians have been talking about abortion far longer than you may have imagined. Abortion has even shown up in apologetics conversations, although probably not in the ways that you would expect.
