If You Burned Every Bible, You’d Still Be Stuck with Jesus — Here’s Why

If You Burned Every Bible, You’d Still Be Stuck with Jesus — Here’s Why

What if someone destroyed every Bible ever printed? Would the case for Jesus disappear with them? Cold-case homicide detective J. Warner Wallace — author of Person of Interest and Cold Case Christianity — argues the answer is a definitive no. In this compelling episode of Come Let Us Reason Together, Wallace applies the same investigative technique he used to solve decades-old murders to one of history's most contested questions: who was Jesus of Nazareth, and does the evidence demand a verdict? Using what he calls the "fuse and fallout" method — examining what happened before and after an event when the event itself leaves no direct evidence — Wallace traces the historical shockwave of Jesus's life through science, art, music, education, and world religion. What he found surprised even him.

Positioned for Miracles: The Faithful Steps God Uses to Do the Extraordinary

Positioned for Miracles: The Faithful Steps God Uses to Do the Extraordinary

Do miracles still happen today? And if they do — why do some believers seem to experience God’s power while others never do? In this episode, we explore how ordinary, covenant-rooted faithfulness positioned Israel to experience extraordinary results — and what that means for believers today. It's not about chasing spectacle. It’s about understanding the biblical pattern God has revealed. If you’ve ever longed to see God move in your life, this lesson will help you understand the practical steps Scripture models for being fully used by Him.

Christian Professor Battles DEI at the Arizona Supreme Court — Why This Case Matters

Christian Professor Battles DEI at the Arizona Supreme Court — Why This Case Matters

What happens when a Christian professor refuses mandatory DEI training at a public university? Not because he hates diversity, but because the training teaches that people are morally defined by their skin color. Now the case has reached the Arizona Supreme Court. Does a state employee has the right to challenge government mandates? Does biblical truth still have a place in higher education? We'll explore that and more in this episode.

Why Smart People Believe: The Evidence That Changed Charles Murray’s Mind

Why Smart People Believe: The Evidence That Changed Charles Murray’s Mind

Why do intelligent people believe in Christianity? Is faith something you feel—or something you can reason toward? In this episode, we explore the surprising intellectually rich faith journey of sociologist Charles Murray. We also examine Glenn Loury’s own faith story, shaped within a church rich in emotion and community—yet ultimately challenged by unanswered intellectual questions. Together, these stories reveal a crucial truth: lasting, transformative Christian faith must engage the mind as much as the heart.

Honoring God When Life Hurts: Why He Doesn’t Waste Your Pain

Honoring God When Life Hurts: Why He Doesn’t Waste Your Pain

If God is good… why does obedience still hurt? Why do faithful Christians suffer cancer, loss, miscarriage, and heartbreak? In this episode I’m speaking with Clay Jones and Jean E. Jones about how Christians can glorify God in the worst of times. We’re not offering easy answers or shallow promises. We’re talking honestly about suffering—what Scripture actually says, what the church often gets wrong, and how God uses pain not to destroy faith, but to refine it. Drawing from their personal struggles, we’ll explore how Christians can honor God even when it hurts—and why your suffering is never wasted in God’s hands.

Is God Protecting Israel? Why Antisemitism Is Rising Again

Is God Protecting Israel? Why Antisemitism Is Rising Again: History, Prophecy, and the Return of an Ancient Hatred

As antisemitism surges across the political spectrum—from college campuses to cultural influencers—many Christians are asking an urgent biblical question: Is God still protecting Israel? In this episode Lenny Esposito is joined by Dr. Brian Crawford, Director of Apologetics for Chosen People Ministries, to examine why hostility toward Jews is returning with alarming force—and what Scripture, history, and current events reveal about God’s covenant with Israel.

Should Christians Practice Yoga? What the Church Rarely Tells You

Should Christians Practice Yoga? What the Church Rarely Tells You

Yoga is everywhere—from gyms to churches—but is it spiritually neutral? In this roundtable discussion with colleagues from the Kirkwood Center, we examine yoga’s Hindu origins, its purpose as a spiritual discipline, and whether Christians can truly separate the physical practice from its worldview. This conversation challenges popular assumptions and asks a deeper question: Does what we do with our bodies shape what we believe?

Why Romans Still Shakes the World — The Gospel That Toppled Empires (and Confronts Culture Today)

Why Romans Still Shakes the World — The Gospel That Toppled Empires (and Confronts Culture Today)

The book of Romans wasn’t written in a vacuum—it was delivered into the heart of a divided, hostile empire. Long before Rome persecuted Christians, Paul sent a letter that would redefine faith, grace, politics, and morality. In this episode, we explore Romans 1:1–7, the explosive power of the gospel, and why its message still confronts cultural chaos, identity politics, and moral confusion today. From Nero to now, Romans refuses to be tamed.
