Should Christian Morality Shape Our Laws? A Deep Dive

Can Christian morality guide modern governance without alienating a diverse society? This podcast explores the provocative question of whether biblical principles, like ordered love—prioritizing God, family, and community—should influence legislation. Dr. Darren Guerra and Dr. Jacob Daneil join Lenny to discuss whether governments share the same moral duties as individuals, such as charity and justice, or if their role is distinct. The discussion traces the rule of law’s roots to Christian ethics while questioning how far biblical mandates should extend to secular institutions. Should governments enforce virtues like forgiveness or stewardship, or is their purpose purely pragmatic? With rising cultural divides, we examine if Christian morality offers a unifying framework or risks exclusion.

Is God Accountable for Evil?

Is God Accountable for Evil?

The Problem of Evil has always been one of the most difficult questions for all belief systems. Christianity teaches that a perfect God created all people knowing that every one of them would be thoroughly evil. He even gave his commands to the Jews, knowing they wouldn’t be able to keep his laws. How can God then judge us, knowing we were made fallible? Doesn’t this also make God ultimately responsible for the evil we see in our world? Explore the answer to why God isn't culpable for our evil acts in this podcast.

Why Does God Remain Hidden?

Why Does God Remain Hidden?If God really wants us to believe in him, then why doesn’t He show himself more clearly? The idea that God is hidden, that if he were real he would provide obvious signs to us mere mortals proving his existence is a charge that many skeptics have leveled against believers. When asked what he would say if after he died he was face to face with God, atheist Bertrand Russel famously replied “Not enough evidence!”

Today, I bring you a talk I recently gave at the Defend Conference in New Orleans. Here I address the charge that God’s hiddenness counts against him being real, tackling issues like the so-called missing miracles today, as well as some more sophisticated objections, like those given by philosopher J.L Shellenberg. We will learn why God’s hiddenness is actually important and good for us.

What Defines a True Christian?

Is there such a thing as a Deep Fake Christian? The problem of deep-fake Christians—those who act and sound like true followers of Jesus when their beliefs are actually different than what he taught—has been a real problem ever since the inception of the church. How can one tell what marks a true Christian from someone who has been corrupted by a deep fake? Is it simply a desire to follow Jesus, to follow the conviction of the Holy Spirit? As the Apostle John warned the local church in his day, we must be careful because there are wolves out there who like to dress as sheep and, as they say, The Devil's in the details.
