Apologetics, Family Discipleship, and Christian Theology combine in this compelling episode from The Think Institute.
In this episode of the Worldview Legacy podcast, Joel Settecase, president of the Think Institute and former pastor, introduces a new series focused on the doctrine of the Trinity. Settecase explains the historical origins of the term 'Trinity' and its relevance to the Christian faith.
He emphasizes the need for Christian men to teach their children about God's triune nature and how this understanding connects to key life questions, logic, and defending the Christian faith.
The episode covers the three laws of logic—identity, non-contradiction, and excluded middle—demonstrating how they align with the nature of the Triune God.
Settecase also offers practical advice for building a legacy of faith in one's family and introduces the Hammer and Anvil Society for further discipleship and community support.
Specifically, we're going to answer these questions:
What are the three laws of logic?
What are the attributes of the three laws of logic?
How do the three laws of logic relate to one another?
How does the perfect unity of the Laws of Logic make sense in light of the Triune nature of God?
How does the Bible teach a framework for believing in the laws of logic?
How does the Bible teach a framework in which it makes sense to believe in the laws of logic?
How to make a powerful apologetics argument from all this.

In this episode of "Ask the Bible," Joel Settecase, President of The Think Institute, explores how Christians should engage in today's cultural battles. Despite claims that the culture war is over, Christianity faces increasing hostility, and believers must decide how to respond.Key Points Discussed:Is the Culture War Over? While some, like Rod Dreher in The Benedict Option, claim the culture war has ended, Christians continue to face cultural and social opposition.Lessons from Samson (Judges 21:25): The story of Samson teaches us the dangers of internal conflict. Instead of supporting God's appointed deliverer, the Israelites handed him over to their enemies. Christians today should avoid turning against each other in cultural debates.A Call to Action: Paul’s exhortation in 1 Corinthians 16:13 urges believers to “be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong.” Christians should unite in defending their beliefs and values.Why This Matters:Stand Firm: Christians must remain steadfast in their faith amid cultural challenges.Unite, Don’t Divide: Believers should support one another rather than engage in "friendly fire."Be Courageous: In a world that often opposes Christian values, courage and strength are essential.Join us as we discuss how Christians can effectively navigate the culture war with strength and unity.

Have you ever wondered how sin affects your conscience and what the long-term consequences might be? This video explores the powerful impact sin has on our conscience, using the biblical example of Samson to illustrate the deadening effect it can have. Discover how sin not only harms others but also damages your own spiritual life, and learn how to turn back to Christ for restoration.Key Points Discussed:The Deadening Effect of Sin:Understanding the Impact: Sin has a deadening effect on a man’s conscience, as seen in the life of Samson. Just because you lack conviction doesn’t mean you lack sin.Biblical Insight: According to Paul in 1 Timothy 4:2, sin can sear our conscience, making us insensitive to God’s guidance.The Story of Samson:A Warning from Samson's Life: In Judges 14:3, Samson chooses a Philistine wife because it is right in his own eyes, not God’s. This decision demonstrates how sin can lead us away from God’s will.Further Transgressions: Samson continues to sin, as seen in Judges 14:8 when he returns to the lion’s carcass. His choices ultimately lead to his downfall, symbolized by his lost strength and gouged eyes.Why This Matters:A Call to Discipleship and Manhood: Sin’s deadening effect prevents you from living the life God intends for you.An Invitation to Repentance: If you have been giving in to sin, now is the time to recognize its effects, turn back to Christ, and be restored.Join the Hammer & Anvil Society:Explore in-depth discussions on theology, Bible knowledge, leadership in family, and resources in the Christian worldview, family discipleship, and apologetics.

The Problem of Evil has been a longstanding objection to the Christian faith. It questions how a good, all-powerful, and all-knowing God can coexist with the presence of evil. This video addresses this challenging issue from a biblical perspective, exploring logical and emotional arguments and providing a comprehensive response rooted in Scripture.
Key Points Discussed:
God is God: Understanding God's sovereignty, wisdom, and the human condition. God Works Good Out of Evil: How God uses even evil for His good purposes. God Gives Peace in the Tension: The role of the Holy Spirit in comforting believers amidst evil.Why You Might Still Struggle:
Desire for Independence: Our natural rebellion against God. Limited Vantage Point: Our inability to see God's plan fully. Past Experiences: The emotional weight of personal suffering.Conclusion:The Problem of Evil, rather than disproving God, actually presupposes His existence. The Christian worldview not only explains the presence of evil but offers a solution through Jesus Christ.Join the Hammer & Anvil Society:Explore in-depth discussions on theology, Bible knowledge, leadership in family, and resources in the Christian worldview, family discipleship, and apologetics.
