Skepticism reigns in the world but Bro Don Wildmon offers a refreshing and passionate perspective on faith and belief in this episode of It's My Turn. He explores the criticisms levied against Christianity, particularly from intellectuals who question the very foundations of the church and its relevance in today’s society.
One of the most striking points he makes is in response to Dr. Hugh Schoenfield, a scholar known for his controversial views on the crucifixion of Christ. He argues that it’s easy for those who live in the comfort of academia to dismiss beliefs they do not understand. He emphasizes that many of these critics have never faced the real-life struggles that faith helps people navigate, such as dealing with loss or addiction.
Don expresses his frustration with those who label the Bible as a lie without ever having taken the time to read it. He highlights the absurdity of accepting Christ as merely a moral teacher while denying his divinity. According to Bro Don, this duality is not an option; one must either accept Christ as God incarnate or dismiss him entirely.
Throughout the episode, he passionately defends the relevance of the church, arguing that it should not be measured by societal standards of success. He believes that the true purpose of faith is not to provide material wealth or social standing but to offer a deeper understanding of truth and existence.
He extends an invitation to those who are searching for truth, urging them to consider the answers that many have already found in their faith. More than just a critique of skepticism, there is a heartfelt call to explore the rich and profound truths that faith can offer. If you're tired of the constant questioning of belief and seeking a deeper understanding of faith, this podcast is a must-listen.
