Last month, I shared a vignette from Part 1 of the “Rapid Fire” series published in Stand to Reason’s (STR) newsletter. (It was a follow-up to earlier posts in which I shared vignettes from Parts 4 & 5 in the series.) In this post, Greg Koukl clearly addresses another question (from Part 1) often posed […]

I figured I was “due” to share something involving Christian theology or apologetics this week, but I didn’t have anything in the works and was growing short on time. Then I remembered Stand to Reason (STR) and the “Rapid Fire” series they did in their newsletter not long ago. If you’ve been reading along, you […]

It was the Bonus Re-Read in my “Five Non-Fiction Books I Enjoyed Reading in 2025” post. This year, I am (slowly and sporadically) working my […]
