Chas’ Lectures

  • Ignorance vs. Foolishness

    This lecture examines God’s design of the human mind. Understanding God’s design for human learning guides believers from foolishness and directs them to view learning as an act of worship.

  • Secular Cycles

    Finite creatures can only rebel in a finite number of ways, and no idea comes from nothing. For this reason, Christians can look to history to help identify the empty promises of secular thought, allowing us to intelligibly engage thoughts and ideas in our current culture.

  • Reasonably Reliable (3 Lectures)

    This three-part lecture series examines the reliability of Scripture to determine whether it is academically reasonable for Christians to trust It. The first lecture examines the reliability of the canonization process of the Old and New Testaments. The second lecture looks at the reliability of the Gospels and Acts as historical sources of information. Finally, the third lecture addresses how the content of the original text has been preserved despite countless copies over 2000 years.

  • Poison Coin

    In an age of social media and with the rise of influencers, this lecture addresses the empty promises of social currency. It examines the negative effects of social media that thrive upon the fallen nature of humanity. Identifying these traps aids the Christian in proper use and engagement on these platforms.

  • Self Love

    Our culture teaches us to be true to ourselves and embrace our inner person and feelings, “to thine own self be true.” This lecture examines these claims through historical figures and orients the concept of self-love affirmed in Scripture.

  • Bible Study 101

    Studying the Bible can often be overwhelming; without proper anchoring, the student can quickly get frustrated or misled. These effects are usually caused by embracing an incomplete approach to study. Embracing any less than all three dimensions of study, spiritual, intellectual, and devotional, will prevent the believer from enjoying the depth of God’s Word.
