The Narrow Path Ministries

Brothers / Sisters, I've been dealing with a general malaise for the past year or so and I think I've figured out the reason for this unease, but not the cure. It occurred to me that all of my fundamental views (about religion, politics, health, relationships, social issues, etc) are widely disparag...

Jon, Adding to what Matt said, I don't think philosophy is ever absent when doing science (or theology or politics or anything else). It's idealist, and almost naive, to think of a discipline as pure and above the interference of human will. Especially in disciplines which are seeking to pronounce u...

Appreciate the feedback. Dwight, my son is 8-years-old. If you send me a PM, I'll tell you the man's name. But it's not one of the two you mentioned.

I was just at the local grocery store with my son, standing at the deli counter waiting for them to slice some meat, and an older man approached and asked if my son was adopted. Given that he's Asian and I'm a white dude, this is a perfectly natural question. I said, "Yes," and then he proceeded to ...

My opinion is that in order to do apologetic work in the 21st century, you have to acknowledge the church's antagonism against naturalism and historical studies. This is killing the gospel.

Perhaps if you are interested in reaching out to "us" you should understand us a little better, rather than invalidate our journey. It seems you are trying to call us back. Maybe you need to be called forward. You might be right, although it seems we are both guilty of pigeonholing. I grew up in a ...

Thank you, John. Gearing my "ministry" toward our doubting brethren seems like the right choice from what I'm hearing. It's truly hard to watch so many believers being persuaded away from the faith by what I'd consider weak and superficial arguments. This happened with Bart Campolo (Tony Campolo's s...

Steve, thanks for the resource. I just bought a used copy at your recommendation. Hopefully, this will allow me to fill in some gaps and be a contribution to the body of Christ. Especially among our more fragile contingent. Much of what I hear from skeptics these days centers entirely upon "popular"...

Hello, family! For the past couple of years I've been intermittently working on a literary project (tentatively titled: The Book of Christian Doubt) which had been geared toward addressing skeptics with a flavor of apologetics that is more common sense than strictly academic. But lately, I've consid...

Hey, brother. I'm praying for you and Margie both. Peace to you.
