Bart Ehrman famously proclaimed that Jesus never claimed to be God in the Gospel of Mark and that this was a later invention by the church. Is he correct? Did Jesus see Himself as only a prophet? Nick Shalna provides an example from every chapter of Mark where Jesus makes an undeniable claim to Deity.

Does God determine ahead of time who He'll save and who He won't? Are we totally depraved to the point that we can't recognize the goodness

What did Jesus mean when He said "I am the bread of life" in John 6? Did He intend to make a statement about consuming Him physically in one sense or another? Is the idea of transubstantiation biblical and is it found in John 6? What parallels might John be trying to draw between this story and similar accounts in the New Testament?

Nick Shalna interviews Dr. Richard Weikart on why there has been so much recent talk about Hitler being an "ok guy" and Churchill being the real villain of WWII. Why have young men in the Christian Nationalist movement recently sympathized with the Third Reich? Why has there seemingly been a large effort to rewrite history? How much of the holocaust originated with Hitler and how much originated with (some of) the German population at the time? Why does this matter today?

What does it mean for the Bible to be inspired by God? How specific is the famous term used in 2 Timothy 3:16, "God-Breathed" (Theopneustos)?
