Sean McDowell has a long history with the theological discipline of apologetics. His father, Josh McDowell, has authored or co-authored over 150 books, including Evidence That Demands a Verdict, A Ready Defense, and More Than a Carpenter. Following in his father’s footsteps, Sean McDowell is an Associate Professor in the Christian Apologetics program at Talbot School of Theology, Biola University, the author of several books on Christian apologetics, intelligent design, and youth ministry.
In this episode of Bible Connection, Sean shares his invaluable perspective on apologetics. He explains what it is and why it is so important for each Christian to be prepared to defend the faith they have. As he says, every Christian is an apologist. Sean makes the case that apologetics is not just for unbelievers, but is also useful for strengthening the faith of believers.
Engaging and reaching the next generation is a theme that runs through Sean’s life and ministry. From his time as the head of the Bible department at at Christian high school to his most recent book on Generation Z, Sean longs to see the next generation know and love Jesus as Savior. During this conversation, Seam shares how vital apologetics is in engaging the culture of today. He shows the recurring themes in the questions he hears every day and the cultural shift from seeking truth to seeking what is good.
Finally, Sean explains how apologetics is so much more than explaining the truth. It involves showing what is good and what is beautiful about the truth.

In this episode of Bible Connection, Will and Andrea McGinniss share the journey of the Hands and Feet Project, a ministry serving orphaned and abandoned (restavek) children of Haiti. Started in 2004 by the members of Christian band Audio Adrenaline, of which Will is one of the founding members, Hands and Feet pre-dated Haiti’s national social services organization and the devastating hurricane and earthquake that brought the world’s attention to the nation.
Initially, Will and Andrea planned to support the ministry through the band’s platform from the U.S. But after a few years, they and their three young children moved to Haiti full time to oversee the day-to-day operations. They describe the criticism they faced from friends and family, and how initial mishaps on their first day actually helped them settle in.
Today, Hands and Feet is a mult-faceted organization fighting the Haitian orphan crisis. The ministry not only provides the long-term family-style care for these children in need, but also developed programs that support families in the surrounding community. Hands and Feet now has multiple locations in the southern peninsula of the Caribbean nation. They have created an entrepreneurial employment opportunity called Haiti Made, host economically-sensitive mission trips, and more. All of these serve to create sustainable solutions to help families thrive.
Finally, Will and Andrea reflect on the lessons they’ve learned about faith, family, and how the Bible is speaking into their lives today.

Making the Bible available to people in their own language has been the sacred task of scholars for centuries. In fact, 16th century English translator William Tyndale, whose work greatly informed the King James Bible about 80 years later, stated that his goal was to make a Bible that a ploughboy could understand.
Today’s translators, such as Dallas Theological Seminary scholars Dr. W. Hall Harris and Dr. Daniel B. Wallace, continue this responsibility. But today’s technology has allowed for a new approach used by these scholars in the NET Bible project that provides an unprecedented glimpse into the translation process. Their work gives an even deeper understanding and appreciation not only for this Bible translation, but of the decisions other translators have made, even back to the days of Tyndale.
In this episode of Bible Connection, Hall and Dan tell the story about the NET Bible project, and how key decisions were made to allow everyone to virtually look over the shoulder of leading biblical language scholars and understand the Scriptures more clearly.

Pastor Chad Veach founded the Los Angeles-based Zoe Church, named for the Greek word, zoe (pronounced zo-ay) which means abundant life, or absolute fullness of life. An abundant life in Jesus does not avoid the suffering of a broken world, but provides hope for tomorrow and strength for today.
In this episode, Chad discusses the day when he and his wife Julia received the devastating diagnosis that their first born, Georgia, was born with a brain disorder. In this dark time, he clung to the hope of heaven and faith in a good God. As he says, “Because God is good, He doesn’t make these things happen, but He can use them to teach me things, to shape some things in my life that are broken.”
Their experience has since shaped how he relates and ministers to others with empathy. Suffering doesn’t just look like illness; it comes in many ways. But the source of hope is the same: Jesus.

Many people have pain and wounds they don’t talk about. Fear and shame create a cycle of isolation and hopelessness. But the Bible is light to these dark places.
After suffering decades of abuse of all kinds, Paula found herself as a single mom in a new city, jobless, with three young boys to homeschool. In these circumstances, she heard God’s call to start a ministry helping people still caught in the darkness of brokenness and shame. Bloom in the Dark started with real, raw stories of people who found hope and restoration in the gospel with the slogan, “Use the fertilizer of your past to bloom in your future.”
The book turned into a TV show, Bloom Today, now syndicated around the world and on Amazon Prime. Paula’s co-host and ministry partner, Ginny Priz, adds her own story of addiction and choices that turned into painful and embarrassing consequences.
Together, Paula, Ginny, and their team of counselors, life coaches, pastors, and more, share the good news that there is no pit too deep in your life to experience freedom, joy, and abundant life in Christ.

Featured Scripture: Isaiah 61:1-3
The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me,
because the Lord has anointed me
to proclaim good news to the poor.
He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
to proclaim freedom for the captives
and release from darkness for the prisoners,
to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor
and the day of vengeance of our God,
to comfort all who mourn,
and provide for those who grieve in Zion—
to bestow on them a crown of beauty
instead of ashes,
the oil of joy
instead of mourning,
and a garment of praise
instead of a spirit of despair.
They will be called oaks of righteousness,
a planting of the Lord
for the display of his splendor.
