Check out the show on Stitcher, iTunes, or Google Play Music.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>It\u2019s been a few months since my last blog post, but this is not due to idleness on my part. I have been busy with other projects during that time, and hopefully I\u2019ll be able to devote some more energy to the blog soon. However, there will likely be a big change with that as well, as I\u2019ll explain below.<\/p>\n<p>One of the projects I\u2019ve been working on is the <a href=\"https:\/\/bqa.podbean.com\/\">Bible Q&amp;A Podcast<\/a>. For the past several months, I\u2019ve considered starting a podcast to answer some of the many questions I receive. Knowing how positively the <a href=\"http:\/\/midwestapologetics.org\/shop\/index.php?rt=product\/product&amp;product_id=127\">Risen: Without a Doubt DVD<\/a> series has been received, I asked Eric Hovind to join me on this venture as well. He agreed to cohost the program and we\u2019ve been busy developing the show since.<\/p>\n<p>Our goal for the podcast is essentially stated in the title of the program. Our desire is to answer your questions about the Bible, Church History, and Christian Theology. The show is primarily geared toward questions from Christians, although we will occasionally address those from skeptics, too.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve already recorded five episodes. The first three are available on iTunes and Google Play Music. The show is also on Stitcher, but for some reason, the first episode is not showing up\u2026yet (I\u2019m awaiting a response from their customer service about this issue). We\u2019ve also made videos of the show <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=GOA-aNhEG7k\">available on Youtube<\/a>. Besides seeing Eric and me, an advantage of watching the videos is that we\u2019ve added slides so you can follow along when we\u2019re reading certain quotes or Bible verses. Don\u2019t worry about my background and camera angle in the first two episodes\u2014it will all look better beginning with the third episode.<\/p>\n<p>Here is a sample of some of the questions we\u2019ve addressed so far:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What happens to children when they die? Are they saved?<\/li>\n<li>What does it mean to abide in Christ?<\/li>\n<li>Does the story of the woman caught in adultery belong in the Bible?<\/li>\n<li>Is there anything that would make you question your faith?<\/li>\n<li>Are there any authentic secular writings about Jesus?<\/li>\n<li>Who was Cain afraid of?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you have some questions you would like us to address on the program, please send us an email at <a href=\"mailto:bqa@creationtoday.org\">bqa@creationtoday.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1828\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1828\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1828\" src=\"http:\/\/midwestapologetics.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Risen-Ministries_glow_black-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/midwestapologetics.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Risen-Ministries_glow_black-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/midwestapologetics.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Risen-Ministries_glow_black-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/midwestapologetics.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Risen-Ministries_glow_black-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/midwestapologetics.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Risen-Ministries_glow_black-1024x1024.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-1828\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Here&#8217;s the logo for Risen Ministries. Check out the new website at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.risenmin.com\">www.risenmin.com.<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<p>The podcast is part of a new and larger project I\u2019ve been working on\u2014<a href=\"https:\/\/risenmin.com\/\">Risen Ministries<\/a>. Since 2005, Midwest Apologetics has been the website for my speaking and blogging ministry, but it\u2019s time to make some changes for several reasons. First, I haven\u2019t lived in the Midwest for a while, so the old name no longer fits well. Second, I\u2019ve recently acquired the rights to Risen Books, which means that I now own the rights to my <a href=\"http:\/\/midwestapologetics.org\/shop\/index.php?rt=product\/product&amp;path=65&amp;product_id=122\">Truth Chronicles series<\/a> and have an outlet for publishing future projects. Finally, since I\u2019ve had a strong emphasis on the Resurrection in my teaching, I wanted the ministry name to reflect that.<\/p>\n<p>My plan is to eventually move the content from this page so that it\u2019s under the Risen Ministries site. This would mean that the blog will likely have a new home in the not-too-distant future. I\u2019ll keep you posted when\/if that change occurs.<\/p>\n<p>Please check out the Bible Q&amp;A Podcast and the new website at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.risenmin.com\">www.risenmin.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for reading!<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s been a few months since my last blog post, but this is not due to idleness on my part.
