Ep 901 | Does the Age of the Earth Matter? | Guest: Dr. Sean McDowell (Part Two)

Published: Nov. 2, 2023, 7 p.m.

Today we\u2019re joined by professor and apologist Dr. Sean McDowell for part two on our discussion about reaching the younger generation with the gospel. We continue with a discussion about the age of the Earth and whether it actually matters to our understanding of the gospel. How do we reconcile scientific beliefs and faith, and how do we respond to those who claim Jesus didn't actually exist at all? We look at why Jesus stuck as the most significant cultural figure ever and explain how liberating his message was and is for women. We also talk about how Christianity changed the game when it came to dignifying both women and children for the first time in history. Then, we explain why mom and dad are so fundamental to a child's understanding of both social issues and the gospel.\n\n---\n\nTimecodes:\n\n(00:50) Age of the Earth\n(07:05) "Jesus didn't actually exist"\n(11:03) Jesus was God\n(14:50) Evidence for Jesus being raised from the dead\n(17:56) Basing entire world timeline off Jesus\n(20:00) Message of Jesus is liberating for women\n(22:10) Christianity values children & cultural battles\n(27:28) The power of mom and dad\n\n---\n\nToday's Sponsors:\n\nPublicSq \u2014 download the PublicSq app from the App Store or Google Play, create a free account, and begin your search for freedom-loving businesses!\n\nPatriot Mobile \u2014 go to PatriotMobile.com/ALLIE or call 878-PATRIOT and use promo code 'ALLIE' to get free activation!\n\n---\n\nRelevant Episodes:\n\nEp 861 | Did Dinosaurs Exist? | Guest: Ken Ham (Part One) https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ep-861-did-dinosaurs-exist-guest-ken-ham-part-one/id1359249098?i=1000625452083\n\nEp 862 | Can Christians Be Evolutionists? | Guest: Ken Ham (Part Two) https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ep-862-can-christians-be-evolutionists-guest-ken-ham/id1359249098?i=1000625594270\n\nEp 679 | Busting Atheism\u2019s Biggest Myths | Guest: Dr. Neil Shenvi https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ep-679-busting-atheisms-biggest-myths-guest-dr-neil-shenvi/id1359249098?i=1000579610722\n\nEp 784 | Did the Resurrection Really Happen? | Guest: Jeremiah Johnston https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ep-784-did-the-resurrection-really-happen-guest/id1359249098?i=1000607756837\n\nEp 900 | How to Reach Gen Z with the Gospel | Guest: Dr. Sean McDowell (Part One) https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ep-900-how-to-reach-gen-z-with-the-gospel-guest-dr/id1359249098?i=1000633392634\n\n---\n\nBuy Allie's book, You're Not Enough (& That's Okay): Escaping the Toxic Culture of Self-Love: https://alliebethstuckey.com/book\n\nRelatable merchandise \u2013 use promo code 'ALLIE10' for a discount: https://shop.blazemedia.com/collections/allie-stuckey\nLearn more about your ad choices.
