Join the show with a TEXT here! In today’s episode, we continue our deep‑dive review of last week’s debate. Pressing further into the kinds of arguments Eastern Orthodox apologists often rely on when biblical support is thin or absent. You’ll get a clear, structured look at why these arguments feel so foreign to many Christians, how they can unsettle people who’ve never encountered them, and…
Join the show with a TEXT here! When your priest can’t answer the most basic question— “What is the Gospel?” —it’s time to run. Today we take a closer look at yet another Eastern Orthodox voice, but this time it’s not a layperson… it’s a priest who still cannot give a clear, biblical answer. And wait until you hear what he actually says. We’ll unpack why this question is consistently dodged,…
Join the show with a TEXT here! You’ve heard it before: “That’s just your interpretation.” But is that a meaningful reply, or simply a way to dodge what Scripture actually says? This common objection exposes a deep divide between how Bible‑believing Christians approach the text and how other groups often impose meaning onto the text rather than drawing meaning from it. In today’s episode, we…
Join the show with a TEXT here! Last time on the podcast, we examined a deeply concerning ecumenical exchange between Gavin Ortlund and Trent Horn . We didn’t get to everything in that video, so today we’re wrapping up by addressing the most critical points of compromise in their dialogue, and why these kinds of conversations only confuse people , muddy the waters , and blur what is actually very…
Join the show with a TEXT here! Ecclesial Anxiety, a phrase gaining traction as more people exploring Christianity wrestle with uncertainty about which church truly holds the gospel. Questions abound: Who can really be saved? Which church preserves the right traditions and theology? In today’s episode, we dig into the root of this confusion. When ecumenical dialogue turns into compromise, the…
Join the show with a TEXT here! In our ongoing dialog on apologetics, today’s reaction video highlights why discernment matters when defending the faith. Too often, Catholics, Orthodox, and Protestants are grouped together under the broad label of “Christian”, but what does Scripture actually say it means to be a Christian? Can we unite with those who proclaim a different gospel? Is there even…
Join the show with a TEXT here! Last time on Bloom, we dug into the difference between arguments and assertions, and why being able to tell them apart is essential when responding to objections to God’s Word and the Truth as a whole. In this episode, we go a layer deeper. We’re talking about how to stay grounded when conversations start slipping into definition‑changing, goal‑post‑moving, and…
S4 E20: Arguments vs Assertions - Thinking Apologetically!
Join the show with a TEXT here! Coming off the heels of our Mini Series on Reformation and Counter‑Reformation teachings, I wanted to take an episode to share some thoughts on apologetics—specifically, how we can sharpen our discernment when evaluating arguments. It’s not something we often pause to consider, but when we’re defending the faith, it is vital that we understand the nature of the…
