Fishing for Men with Mack

There seems to exist an "unspoken" belief from the atheist community that people who believe in God are irrational, unscientific and unintelligent. I think is sort of the opposite. People who don't believe in God have not clearly thought everything through well enough. 

The greatest scientists that have lived were believers, like Einstein. The greatest communicators of our time believe in God, like Ben Shapiro. The greatest political communicators of our time believe in God, like Charlie Kirk.

In this episode C.S Lewis is discussed. Certainly one of the greatest minds of the 20th Century. He turned from theism to atheism and back to theism. And he perhaps had one of the greatest influences on modern Christian thought. Join in as the author of "the Chronicles of Narnia is discussed". 

What would you do if you had all the power and authority in the universe in your hands? The answer to this question will be determined by the content of your heart.

In John 13:1-11 we see that Jesus has everything in His hands. His "ticket" back to his Father had been booked. He came from outside space-time-matter and was now going back.

It is the last meal with his disciples. What does he do with his hands? And what does that reveal about his heart? And how does that teach us how to live as His disciples?

Christians know the answer to this question, but they don't always fully understand what it means and how it applies to our lives today?

This podcast explores Jesus words with the Pharisees in Matthew 12 to help shed light on this often misunderstood concept. Included in the episode are some examples of atheists who commit this unforgivable sin.

In a nutshell, the "unforgivable sin" can only be committed by the worst of the worst pagans. It is not a sin that a believer in Jesus can accidently commit. So rest assured Christians, you are safe! 

I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me - Apostle Paul (Gal. 2:20)

This episode explores a sermon Jesus preached in the Temple courts on his last Sunday before he crucifixion. Contrary to what the crowd expected from the man who resurrected Lazarus from the dead, Jesus preached that he would die.  What? The author of life would die?

And...he called upon his followers to do the same, to die, to give up their lives for others and for the kingdom of God. Jesus was worth more crucified and resurrected than when he lived in flesh. He saved the world. And you and I are therefore also worth more "dead" than alive. 

This past week 41 books, including the Bible were removed from school libraries in the Keller (Texas) district. Some of the other books that were removed are books with the LGBTQ agenda.

It seems like some parents called for the removal of the Bible for the same reason that conservative parents requested the removal of the LGBTQ books. The reason was "sexually explicit" material. 

Does the Bible contain information that is inappropriate for children? Or is this attack on the Bible a farce attempt to discredit the Christian faith that stands opposed to unnatural sexual relations?

A week before Jesus was crucified he had a meal with a healed leper, a resurrected man, a thief who stole from him, his disciples (including doubting Thomas), and two women. What happened at that meal that made the Apostle John record it for us?

This podcast explores the story in John 12:1-8 and extracts some relevant lessons for our time and context. Some themes that emerge: Is food the most important thing the poor needs? What's the greatest potential threat to loyalty to Christ? Should we trust modern day virtue signaling? 

Joe Rogan has become probably the most popular podcaster in the US over the last decade. What makes him so popular is that he is "real". He is reasonable, although rough around the edges. People can resonate with that.

One would expect him to be an atheist. He is intelligent, popular, wealthy, influential... All the attributes to be a good atheist, but he isn't. And neither is he a theist? So what does he believe and why? And how does that relate to us and the theism debate? 

Tune in to this podcast to have a reasonable look at why people sit on the fence when it comes to matters of faith. 

"Speaking in Tongues" is a common phenomenon in most Pentecostal churches today. Is this the same as Biblical speaking in tongues? And if not, what is it then? 

Why do people from other religions and cults also speak in tongues? Do all "saved" people have to speak in tongues? These and more such questions are dealt with in this podcast. 

The great apostle Paul seems to have been the most uncomfortable in the city of Corinth when he was preaching the Gospel there. Corinthian society was base and ungodly. Yet Paul reached many people and even baptized the leader of the synagogue and his family. 

How did he manage to reach such a godless place? What was his message? Well, in the first letter to the Corinthians Paul tells us that he only preached "Christ and Him Crucified". How could this message relate to the godless pagans of Corinth? And can this message still carry power for our world today? 

There is a clearly orchestrated attack on our children from an ancient dark force. It is nothing new, it just looks different. At the heart of the attack lies the destruction of the family, the core of society.

The world is becoming an increasingly unsafe place for our kids. With the rise of technology the world has unfortunately found easy access into our homes. We cannot hide our kids from the world, or the world from our kids. All we have left to do is to prepare our kids for it.
