Stranger Than Fiction
I recently watched the movie Stranger Than Fiction. I thought it would be profitable to practice apologetic engagement using this form of popular culture, and an ideal opportunity to explore some apologetic themes found in the movie. Most literature has echoes of the biblical storyline since it’s the foundation of understanding life in this world. As […]

Our Story According to Her: Part 2
More fighting and confusion in the months to come led me to break things off with T.S. in July 2015, 5 months before our trip to Israel. Prior to this, he started seeing my biblical counselor where he was determined to “figure me out”, but little did he know, our counselor would greatly help him […]

Our Story According to Her: Part 1
Now for my fiancé’s version of our story: We do not have a “typical” 21st century love story that so many people expect to hear when two people say they “love” each other.

There are immense, intense, and obsessive feelings equally felt by both parties. There is a climax and resolution of their problems in 90 minutes […]

The Story of Scripture – Genesis to Revelation – Part 7: The Prophets
If we hit the pause button here and look at the five books of poetry, we see they are written by David and Solomon. We realize that what God had really longed for was a people that had a living relationship with Him and lived out the covenant in community. Carrying on in the chronology […]

The Whole Bible Story
I recently read The Whole Bible Story by Dr. William H. Marty, and I wrote this blog to analyze the overall organization of Marty’s presentation, why I think he ordered the structure in the manner he did and what components he utilized that I found helpful in telling the biblical narrative. Marty presented The Whole […]
