The Trilemma Explained | Barriers to Belief]]>Jesus made some of the most outrageous claims in human history — that he was God, he existed before time & he could forgive sins. So what do we do with that?

In this episode, Dr. Kristen Davis and Dr. Carey Walton break down the philosophical trilemma: if Jesus claimed to be God, he was either lying, deluded, or perhaps….he was telling the truth. 

We explore:

• The history of the trilemma (it predates C.S. Lewis)

• Why Jesus doesn't fit the profile of a con man or a lunatic • The "legend" objection and why Lewis rejected it

  • Why a “nice guy, good teacher” explanation doesn’t work  
  • What accepting Jesus for who he actually claimed to be could change for you

That was the world Jesus walked into — and he refused to play by its rules. This episode explores what the Gospels reveal about how Jesus engaged women: as disciples, as evangelists, as trusted witnesses to the resurrection, and as people worthy of dignity and compassion regardless of their past. From Mary and Martha to Mary Magdalene to the woman caught in adultery, the evidence across the Gospels tells a consistent story. If you've been told that following Jesus means making yourself smaller — this episode is a direct challenge to that idea.

This episode of Barriers to Belief walks through the minimal facts argument used by scholars across the theological spectrum — including skeptics and atheists — to show why the resurrection is the best historical explanation for the empty tomb. From extra-biblical sources like Josephus and Tacitus, to the radical transformation of the disciples, to the embarrassing detail of women as the first witnesses, the evidence is more compelling than most people realize. Whether you're a longtime believer wrestling with doubt or someone considering the claims of the Christian faith, this conversation will challenge you to take the resurrection seriously — not on blind faith, but on the strength of the historical record.

The Real Reason Behind the Cross]]>Why did Jesus have to die? It's one of the most searched questions about Christianity — and one of the most misunderstood. In this episode of Barriers to Believe, we break down the real reason the cross was necessary, exploring God's holiness, divine justice, and what substitutionary atonement actually means. If you've ever struggled with the idea that "Jesus died for your sins," this episode is for you.

 

We unpack why a loving God can't simply overlook sin, what Isaiah's throne room vision reveals about the gap between God and humanity, and why accepting the gift of salvation isn't the same as earning it. Whether you're a skeptic, a seeker, or a longtime believer with lingering doubts, this conversation will give you a clearer, more logical framework for understanding the cross.

We tackle the biggest objections head-on: Do miracles violate natural law? Can a scientifically minded person take them seriously? We explore what C.S. Lewis, David Hume, and modern apologists argue, walk through the types of miracles Jesus performed, and explain why the resurrection stands as the most historically significant claim in the Gospels.

Whether you're a skeptic, a doubter, or just curious, this episode is designed to help you engage with the evidence — not just take things on blind faith.
