• Beyond the Echo Chamber: Philosophy, Apologetics & Hard Conversations

  Send us a textWhat happens when two Christians from different theological backgrounds sit down to discuss the topics most churches avoid? In this engaging conversation, Cass welcomes Matt from Post-PostModern Theology for a deep dive into philosophy, apologetics, and the cultural forces shaping modern Christianity.Matt shares his journey from skeptical Greek Orthodox roots to apologetics, explaining how postmodernism has become the "cannibalistic" worldview eating itself alive—from transgender ideology contradicting feminism to Richard Dawkins becoming a "cultural Christian." But the conversation goes beyond cultural critique. Discover why Christians struggle to share their faith (hint: it's about counting the cost), how to have controversial conversations with grace, and why every single person—atheist or believer—lives by faith. Matt breaks down complex philosophical concepts like epistemology and presuppositional apologetics into practical wisdom for defending your beliefs.The discussion takes controversial turns: Is Christian Zionism hurting the church? What did Jesus really mean in the Olivet Discourse? Why isn't communion mentioned in John's Last Supper account? Should Christians observe the Sabbath?Throughout, both hosts model what they preach: respectful disagreement, intellectual humility, and a commitment to testing everything against Scripture. Whether you're reformed, Pentecostal, or somewhere in between, this conversation will challenge you to examine what you believe and why.Key Topics:Postmodernism's impact on church and cultureApologetics methods (evidential vs presuppositional)Israel, eschatology, and end times theologyThe problem of Christian echo chambersWhy the laws of logic prove immaterial reality existsCommunion, Sabbath, and denominational differencesPerfect for: Christians seeking intellectual depth, anyone interested in apologetics, and believers ready to step outside their theological comfort zone.Follow @hertheology on Instagram & YouTube.
