Particularly for teenagers, theology answers life’s most important questions, like “who is God?�, or “how should I be living my life and why?� And it helps teens know how to navigate the confusing world that they live in. Mike McGarry of Youth Pastor Theologian (@youththeologian) gives these reasons (among others) for why theological teaching should be included in your church’s youth ministry — not to try and make seminary students out of teens, but to give them a firm foundation for their faith.

Years ago, I struggled with the same thing — knowing how to connect what the Old Testament teaches with Jesus in the New Testament. To help bridge this gap, I read “The Unfolding Mystery� by Edmund P. Clowney, which really helped me see how the Old Testament (and the whole Bible!) points to Jesus.

Often, we consider marriage to be the “fix� — that marriage will be the pathway to sexual purity. But is this true? Can we simply force our inward-turned sexual desires into a biblical form and expect that to be enough? Biblically, the real solution to sexual sin isn’t marriage… it’s recovering the use of our bodies for their original purpose - as instruments of worship to God that reflect his image and the future wedding of Christ and the Church. I talk about this more in depth in our new Bible study video series, “So Much More Than Sex�.

Or, if God does sovereignly determine our choices as well, how can we be held responsible for those choices?

It’s difficult enough as an intellectual challenge, but even more difficult when we are personally feeling the effects of evil in the world. But is there really an answer? In this episode, Scott and Shawn tackle the question of why God allowed evil from three important angles. First, what’s a good ‘elevator’ response when someone confronts you with such a challenge but really aren’t giving you the time for a fully developed response? Second, what’s a quick response that’s often given that you should probably avoid? And third, what is the best biblical response to this question that, while maybe not resolving the tension, leaves the questioner to consider the truth about God’s ultimate purpose and destiny for his creation? 📖 Resources mentioned in this episode: “Why Did God Allow the Fall?�, James N Anderson: https://www.thegospelcoalition.org/article/why-did-god-allow-the-fall/ “If God is Sovereign, Why is His World Full of Suffering?�, John Piper: https://www.desiringgod.org/interviews/if-god-is-sovereign-why-is-his-world-full-of-suffering “Confronting the Problem of Evil�, Joe Rigney: https://www.desiringgod.org/articles/confronting-the-problems-of-evil — 🔔 Subscribe for More Prepared to Answer https://www.youtube.com/@PreparedtoAnswer Learn more about how to think like Jesus: https://preparedtoanswer.org/ Enjoyed this video?

1:: Our teens NEED theology

01.01.1970 · 01:00:00 ··· 26.06.2024 · 20:00:17 ··· ···
··· ··· ··· ··· The word “theology” might make you think about seminary or academia, but learning theology can actually be immensely practical for every Christian. Particularly for teenagers, theology answers life’s most important questions, like “who is God?”, or “how should I be living my life and why?” And it helps teens know how to navigate the confusing world that they live in. Mike McGarry of Youth Pastor Theologian (@youththeologian) gives these reasons (among others) for why theological teaching should be included in your church’s youth ministry — not to try and make seminary students out of teens, but to give them a firm foundation for their faith.

··· ··· ··· ··· Many Christian teens today are struggling with their faith, or are walking away from it completely. But what is the underlying reason and how can our church youth ministries give teens what they need to grow a deeper faith in Jesus? Mike McGarry of Youth Pastor Theologian (https://www.youtube.com/@youththeologian) offers some insight that can help parents and youth ministry leaders know what their teens need for lasting faith.

4:: why Christians think differently about EVERYTHING

01.01.1970 · 01:00:00 ··· 12.06.2024 · 18:00:07 ··· ···
··· ··· ··· ··· Christians are called to think differently than the world around them — about everything! That’s because, if our knowledge is grounded in God’s revealed character and word, then we see everything in a completely different light. On our podcast, we talked about why this is true when approaching the topic of justice.

01.01.1970 · 01:00:00 ··· 06.06.2024 · 21:00:26 ··· ···
··· ··· ··· ··· Justice is defined as giving others what they deserve or are due. And as Christians, we know that God is concerned about justice, since he is a just God. But it is important to have the right foundation for when we ground our sense of justice. Biblically, we actually need to start by asking the question, “what is God due?” If you want to listen in on the full discussion, check it out here: https://youtu.be/ISApPpCjxsY #BiblicalJustice #SocialJustice #GodsJustice #ThinkLikeJesus #ChristianPodcast

Years ago, I struggled with the same thing — knowing how to connect what the Old Testament teaches with Jesus in the New Testament. To help bridge this gap, I read “The Unfolding Mystery” by Edmund P. Clowney, which really helped me see how the Old Testament (and the whole Bible!) points to Jesus. I really recommend reading it, as I believe it will not only help you understand the O.T. better, but help you appreciate the whole Bible as a Christian.

··· ··· ··· ··· To some extent, most Christians understand that all sin ultimately is against God — but do you know why?

··· ··· ··· ··· Why should God get to decide what’s just? And how can God be just if he simply forgives people for their sin when they place their faith in Jesus? How is that fair? Scott and Shawn dig into the challenging subject of God’s justice and discover that the key to understanding God’s justice is to begin with the question, “What does God deserve?” 📖 Resources mentioned in this episode: Confronting Injustice without Compromising Truth, by Thaddeus Williams: https://www.christianbook.com/confronting-injustice-compromising-questions-christians-justice/thaddeus-williams/9780310119487/pd/0119487?event=CPOF Our episode, “Is God a Narcissist?

9:: Why marriage isn’t the pathway to sexual purity

01.01.1970 · 01:00:00 ··· 15.05.2024 · 08:00:27 ··· ···
··· ··· ··· ··· One thing that we as Christians have gotten wrong is the solution to sexual sin. Often, we consider marriage to be the “fix” — that marriage will be the pathway to sexual purity. But is this true? Can we simply force our inward-turned sexual desires into a biblical form and expect that to be enough? Biblically, the real solution to sexual sin isn’t marriage… it’s recovering the use of our bodies for their original purpose - as instruments of worship to God that reflect his image and the future wedding of Christ and the Church. I talk about this more in depth in our new Bible study video series, “So Much More Than Sex”.

11:: Do We Have Free Will? God’s Sovereignty Vs. Our Choice

··· ··· ··· ··· If God is completely sovereign over all of his creation, can human beings be free to make real choices? Or, if God does sovereignly determine our choices as well, how can we be held responsible for those choices? Scott and Shawn dive into these difficult questions in an attempt to hold together the tension of these two apparently irreconcilable truths: God’s sovereignty and man’s free choice. 📖 Resources mentioned in this episode: “Gen Z and the Draw to Serious Faith”, by Trevin Wax: https://www.thegospelcoalition.org/blogs/trevin-wax/a-serious-faith/ What About Free Will?

But thankfully, you don’t have to have an answer for every single question to be a good witness for Christ. In his book “Tactics”, Greg Koukl outlines a way that you can answer hard questions with carefully placed questions of your own. This can help your questioner consider their own worldview and any flawed beliefs they might hold, even if you don’t have all the answers to their questions right away.

15:: Why Did God Allow Evil? A Biblical Answer to the Problem of Evil

01.01.1970 · 01:00:00 ··· 23.04.2024 · 13:00:52 ··· ···
··· ··· ··· ··· “If God is so good, then why did he allow evil into the world?” This is probably one of the hardest questions Christians are asked, or even wrestle with themselves. It’s difficult enough as an intellectual challenge, but even more difficult when we are personally feeling the effects of evil in the world. But is there really an answer? In this episode, Scott and Shawn tackle the question of why God allowed evil from three important angles. First, what’s a good ‘elevator’ response when someone confronts you with such a challenge but really aren’t giving you the time for a fully developed response? Second, what’s a quick response that’s often given that you should probably avoid? And third, what is the best biblical response to this question that, while maybe not resolving the tension, leaves the questioner to consider the truth about God’s ultimate purpose and destiny for his creation? 📖 Resources mentioned in this episode: “Why Did God Allow the Fall?”, James N Anderson: https://www.thegospelcoalition.org/article/why-did-god-allow-the-fall/ “If God is Sovereign, Why is His World Full of Suffering?”, John Piper: https://www.desiringgod.org/interviews/if-god-is-sovereign-why-is-his-world-full-of-suffering “Confronting the Problem of Evil”, Joe Rigney: https://www.desiringgod.org/articles/confronting-the-problems-of-evil — 🔔 Subscribe for More Prepared to Answer https://www.youtube.com/@PreparedtoAnswer Learn more about how to think like Jesus: https://preparedtoanswer.org/ Enjoyed this video?

18:: Is God a Narcissist? Why God’s Demand for Worship Isn’t Selfish

01.01.1970 · 01:00:00 ··· 09.04.2024 · 13:00:06 ··· ···
··· ··· ··· ··· The first commandment God gave Israel was this: “You shall have no other gods before me.” (Exodus 20:3) And the rest of God’s commands and revelations throughout the Bible are consistent with this. God, and only God, is to be worshipped. Only God can get the glory. But the skeptic looks at this and asks: “Wait a minute! If anyone else acted the way God acts, we’d call them a narcissist and accuse them of outright selfishness. So, why does God get a pass? Isn’t his demand for worship just a sign of selfish egotism?” On surface, objections like these carry rhetorical force. They sound convincing, and often leave us speechless to respond. That’s why in this episode, Scott and Shawn sit down to talk through this objection, looking to God and his word to answer this challenge against God’s character. Tune in and discover that far from an act of selfishness, God’s command that we worship him only is born from his selfless love. — 🔔 Subscribe for More Prepared to Answer https://www.youtube.com/@PreparedtoAnswer Learn more about how to think like Jesus: https://preparedtoanswer.org/ Enjoyed this video?

01.01.1970 · 01:00:00 ··· 26.03.2024 · 13:00:15 ··· ···
··· ··· ··· ··· No one can escape the reality of pain and suffering, but, as Christians, Jesus actually promised we’d suffer (John 16:33) and face persecutions for his sake (Mark 10:30). Whether it’s experiencing pain because of the brokenness of sin upon the world or hardships due to our loyalty to Jesus, we will all face suffering in this world to one degree or another. So, how do we ensure our faith endures through them? In this episode, Scott and Shawn tackle this difficult subject of pain and suffering, but from the standpoint of Jesus’ own experience. Specifically, they probe the Scriptures to see what guided Jesus’ own mind as he journeyed through suffering. What they discover is both inspiring and hopeful. — 🔔 Subscribe for More Prepared to Answer https://www.youtube.com/@PreparedtoAnswer Learn more about how to think like Jesus: https://preparedtoanswer.org/ Enjoyed this video?

01.01.1970 · 01:00:00 ··· 12.03.2024 · 13:00:01 ··· ···
··· ··· ··· ··· Out of necessity during the global COVID pandemic, most churches in countries with mandated restrictions needed to learn how to “do church” online. But even after COVID, this widespread experience of online church has caused many to ask if doing church online presents Christians with a viable alternative to in-person gathering. Could it be that technology presents us with a new way of doing church in which we gather as the church online? In our final episode of our Dechurching Series, Scott and Shawn see if Scripture can shed some light on an answer, and what that answer might be. 📖 Resources mentioned in this episode “What Is a Local Church?”, by Jonathan Leeman on 9Marks: https://www.9marks.org/article/what-is-a-local-church/#:~:text=A%20local%20church%20is%20a,gospel%20preaching%20and%20gospel%20ordinances. “Is ‘Online Church’ Really Church?

29:: Do Christians Need to Belong to a Church?

01.01.1970 · 01:00:00 ··· 27.02.2024 · 14:00:19 ··· ···
··· ··· ··· ··· In this episode, Scott and Shawn dive into the question of whether or not Christians need to belong to a local church. People feel the need to leave church for many reasons. Most often it is because the church, as they’ve experienced it, has not measured up to what they expect it to be. Sometimes this is due to churches not being what the church should be, and sometimes this is due to churches not being what we feel they should be. In either case, this is due to the church not measuring up to an ideal. But maybe part of the problem isn’t the church failing to meet the ideal, but our own vision of what that ideal is. In an era where Christian teaching, worship music, and resources are available to us through so many channels, Scott and Shawn look to the Bible to see if living a Christian life without belonging to an actual church is biblical—or possible! — 🔔 Subscribe for More Prepared to Answer https://www.youtube.com/@PreparedtoAnswer Learn more about how to think like Jesus: https://preparedtoanswer.org/ Enjoyed this video?

30:: THE point of Genesis 1

01.01.1970 · 01:00:00 ··· 26.02.2024 · 21:00:20 ··· ···
··· ··· ··· ··· The creation account of Genesis 1 actually reveals more than just “how” God made his creation. It also shows the deep truths about “why” he made his creation—and one big truth is that he made his creation to be a dwelling place for himself. Which means creation was made FOR him. This applies to why he created male and female as well. Our sexuality points to something greater—namely, God. We unpack this truth in greater detail in our new Bible study video series “So Much More Than Sex”.

31:: can you be your own church?

01.01.1970 · 01:00:00 ··· 22.02.2024 · 19:00:19 ··· ···
··· ··· ··· ··· Is it necessary to be part of a local church in order to follow Jesus? After all, one can worship, evangelize, pray, and study the Scriptures individually. While it’s true that our individual lives and personal holiness are important to God, the Bible reveals that the local church (as in, the gathering of believers) should be part of the life of every Christian.

32:: The Biblical Church: What to Consider Before Leaving Your Church

01.01.1970 · 01:00:00 ··· 13.02.2024 · 14:00:35 ··· ···
··· ··· ··· ··· The data over the past several years confirms a steady decline in church attendance and participation, even among committed Christians. In this episode in our Dechurching series, Scott and Shawn raise awareness about some of the cultural assumptions that may be skewing our perspective about church. For those wondering if being part of a church is necessary, rather than giving reasons for or against, Scott and Shawn take a dive into Scripture to answer a necessary first question: “What is the church?” If you’re thinking of leaving church behind, tune into this episode to learn about the nature of the church and what it really means. This may help you think more clearly about the role church has, and your place in it. — 🔔 Subscribe for More Prepared to Answer https://www.youtube.com/@PreparedtoAnswer Learn more about how to think like Jesus: https://preparedtoanswer.org/ Enjoyed this video?

From nearly two decades of youth ministry experience, Mike McGarry (from @youththeologian ) provides clear, concise answers to real questions that teenagers ask. Each chapter is only 3 to 4 pages long, covering 20 important faith questions, including: - Can I Trust and Understand the Bible? - Is It Okay to Doubt? - How Can a Loving God Send Anyone to Hell? - What Does the Bible Teach about Sex and Dating? - What Does the Bible Teach about LGBTQ+ Issues? - Can Christians Believe in Evolution? - Why Does God Allow Suffering? McGarry wrote “Discover” because teens have tough questions that need answers. But they also need to know that having questions and asking them is okay.

35:: The Great Decline in Church Attendance: Studying the Trends

01.01.1970 · 01:00:00 ··· 30.01.2024 · 14:00:21 ··· ···
··· ··· ··· ··· Is the church in Canada disappearing? Data collected by StatsCan over the past thirty years shows a steady decline in church attendance among Canadians. And the years over COVID accelerated that trend even further. But what is driving this trend? Who are the people foregoing church? And what does this indicate for the future of Christianity in Canada? In this episode, Scott and Shawn begin looking at this dechurching phenomenon that is transforming the religious landscape of the west. They look at who are dechurching, and what reasons are being given by those who used to regularly attend and participate in church life, but no longer do. This is the first episode in our series on “Dechurching”. Our goal is to help you understand what is happening in the church, how Christians should respond, and what we should expect to see happen for this trend to be reversed. — 📖 Resources mentioned in this episode: “The Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on the Religiosity of Canadians”, Stats Canada: https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/pub/45-28-0001/2022001/article/00005-eng.htm The Great DeChurching, by Jim Davis, Michael Graham, With Ryan P.
