I share your view on Screwtaape and basically learned "English humor" by Screwtape's sarcasm. I did all this in my university years 40 years ago and have always appreciated the great apologists (intentional understatement). Among other things I attended the Urbana 1976 conference where the first day's keynote speaker was Elizabeth Elliot who was very definitely preaching "muscular Christianity" (e.g. the need for routing out the non-disciplined parts in one's life). I'm less "up" on today's generation of apologists but no question I read a lot of Lewis and Schaeffer and believe strongly that "always being ready to make a defense for the faith that is within you" is part of being a Christian. Thanks for having Gregory Hyde as your guest in this segment.
Thank you for all you do Alisa. I praise God for your ministry, it has impacted my life so much and helped me deal with the progressive beliefs I had adopted. May it continue to grow and reach many lives.
Alisa + Gregory = winning combination Maybe because musicians tend to understand each other on a different level from 'ordinary' people. Because of the inner song. A Prayer King David style.
Yes, when a celebrity dies, I also tend to think about their lives and how they are now facing God. It's a sobering reminder that our time will come too and we have to ask ourselves: have we been living our life as we should?
@@PanhandleFrank 😂 so truth is a troll? Was Jesus a troll in scripture for speaking truth? I’m asking who is going to face God?

My late older brother was a failed rocker; a would-be rock star. He knew some of the rock 'heavyweights' (he spent a lot of time with Stones' guitarist, Keith Richards). When he was dying of cancer back in 2019, he, at first, wouldn't let me come to his hospice bed; but finally, the day before he died, he let me, and I showed up with a King James Bible, and read to him from 1 John 3 & 4. Then I started to read from John 11, the raising of Lazarus; but our mother, who was present, got all upset and told me to stop. Her name is Martha. My brother, though he-himself never quite made it as a rock star, he did live performances with Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, and Jim Morrison; and the last thing I said to him alive was the opening line of The Righteous Brothers' "Rock N Roll Heaven". There's more to this story, and it's all true!
Love the interviews and all that was said here. My only problem is the intense volume bump with the sponsor spot, especially with the beat. To have the volume up enough for the dialogue, its painful when the sponsor/intro/outro music comes on.
Do rock stars go to heaven?!🧐 Why are rock stars differentiated from anyone else? Does playing rock music automatically deny a person from being saved by Jesus? Is there a scripture reference about this? I remember being in youth group and being preached to by church leaders and going to youth conventions which was all about the evils of rock n roll. At 14 or 15 yo I knew this bunk.
Great show! Alisa and Gregory make a great team. I love learning new ways of thinking about these issues. Does anyone have a link to Gregory's channel on RUclips? Thanks!
Asking tough questions is how to test if ideas are true and can hold up under scrutiny or false and cannot hold up. If your idea is true and you can answer the tough questions and it all makes sense then yes that idea is going to become stronger and you will now be able to explain it even better.
The thing for me though is that it’s awfully convenient that Christianity can answer every tough question with answer that points toward Christianity. Sure we want a worldview/answers that can satisfy us, but often times the truth doesn’t make sense or go in our favor. God’s infallibility requires that theology be created to make answers fit the Biblical narrative. And this glaring issues is only compounded to be shown as incoherent given the vast amount of opposing/differing/arbitrary views just with Christendom.

*I formed my body from the formless eternal energy that surrounds me. I am circulating my blood. I am replacing my dead cells. I am digesting my food. I am forming my thoughts. I am doing these things but I don't know how I do them.
Luke 19:39-40 “Teacher, rebuke your disciples.” Jesus answered, “I tell you, if they were silent, the very stones would cry out.” So I guess rock starts may be plausible.
Lots of CS Lewis discussion in this interview. Might I suggest a show topic on the writings of CS Lewis alone and his influence on Christian apologetics, philosophy, and logic? Would be very interesting to bring on one of the leading scholars on CS Lewis like Dr. Donald T. Williams to help folks weave through the good and the somewhat wonky side of Lewis (theologically).
@@texuztweety I've watched Narnia the animated film it's full of occult material. The Screw tape files is all demonic. CS Lewis was great friends with JRR Tolkien, the Lord of the Rings author, a obvious Satanist.
Lord Jesus please bless and sanctify and cover with Your Holy Blood alisa's CD 'Beauty From The Ash.' May it be an acceptable offering in Your Sight. Like a sweet incense rising to Your Throne. In Jesus Name we pray , AMEN.
I’ve read many books by C. S. Lewis and I still love him as a philosopher but I can’t trust him as one of the best apologists after I found out he believed in purgatory and other false doctrines.
Yeah, C.S. has a few "eat the meat and spit out the bones" views, but lots of meat to be had! Anything said by him, or any teacher in the faith, must be measured against the Bible.
I think they tend to fall under what Jesus said about the rich man entering heaven. It isn’t that it’s impossible, but like the wheat choked by weeds, some people face the daily temptation to be lulled to sleep by worldly pleasures, especially in an environment where everyone else is doing it and encouraging them to do it too.
@@Window4503Yes. It is not so much that they can get all the drugs alcohol and women they want but that they are offered more than they could possibly use and pressured to accept.
"Why is it a tough question?" Did you listen to the conversation? It's only "tough" for those who think that, as long as you're not Adolph Hitler, you're pretty much good enough to get eternal life.
You and I are born and enjoy the luxury of this life which is totally different than being alive and in the womb, different states. How would you communicate to a baby in the womb about this life other than his language which he understands? Using your language to point towards your current life will be meaningless unless you speak to the baby in a language and an experience which he can understand. Holy Quran 32:17 No soul can imagine what delights are kept in store for them as a reward for what they used to do. Notice in the (Ayah) below how it does not say "Paradise is.." but it says.. "The description of the Paradise is.." Holy Quran 47:15 The description of the Paradise promised to the righteous is that in it are rivers of fresh water, rivers of milk that never changes in taste, rivers of wine delicious to drink, and rivers of pure honey. There they will ˹also˺ have all kinds of fruit, and forgiveness from their Lord. ˹Can they be˺ like those who will stay in the Fire forever, left to drink boiling water that will tear apart their insides? Holy Quran 47:16 There are some of them who listen to you ˹O Prophet˺, but when they depart from you, they say ˹mockingly˺ to those ˹believers˺ gifted with knowledge, “What did he just say?” These are the ones whose hearts Allah has sealed and who ˹only˺ follow their desires.

Holy Quran 67:22 Who is ˹rightly˺ guided: the one who crawls facedown or the one who walks upright on the Straight Path?
