| Tucker Carlson's Theology EXPOSED: Biblical or Not? | 14 Apr 2026 | 00:46:10 | |
@TuckerCarlson recently had Nathan Apffel on to discuss Paula White's influence (among other things) on Trump's White House, but they also made some audacious theological claims. Dr. Tim Stratton and Josh Klein analyze a specific claim and explain why this, among other issues, discredits Tucker's theological and political prowess.

| The Mormon Creation Dilemma: Is It Fatal to Christianity? | 07 Apr 2026 | 01:29:03 | |
On a recent MAVEN immersive experience in Utah, we had the pleasure of meeting a few philosophically inclined young men from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Far too often, conversations between Christians and Latter-day Saints remain at a surface level—talking past one another rather than reasoning together (Isaiah 1:18). Recently, @LetsTalk-HaydenCarroll released a book (and podcast) on the Creation Dilemma. It's a good argument, but does it dismantle credal Christianity? Join Dr. Tim Stratton, Josh Klein, and Will Hess from @TheChurchSplit as they dissect the argument and prove that Molinism remains unscathed and Mormonism collapses on its own argument.

| Bonus Ep. 148 Tim and Scott Debate Definitions (behind the scenes) | 06 May 2021 | 00:32:31 | |
While recording our podcasts discussing Tim's response to Guillaume Bignon, I realized I'd disagreed with something I'd written down on our notes. Rather than cut off recording to discuss it, I decided to keep the cameras rolling so-to-speak, and both Tim and I liked the free flowing discussion that ensued. So I figured, why not make it into a bonus episode? Since this wasn't necessarily meant to be released, keep in mind that not everything we say is our official positions on the topics at hand. We're likely both wrong at points in this episode (probably all episodes to be fair), and after closer inspection we might retract what we said. However, we thought it would be fun for you guys to see what the discussions between Tim and me are like before the podcast gets going. Enjoy! | |||
| Ep. 147 Answering Guillaume Bignon: Apologetic Significance (Part 2) | 29 Apr 2021 | 00:25:48 | |
If you haven't heard by now, Tim wrote a book. It's a good book. You should buy it and read it. However, some people thought it was a not good book. One person in particular, philosopher Guillaume Bignon, wrote a 50 page refutation of Tim's book. Tim wrote an article as a rejoinder to this refutation. Now we're talking about it. In this episode, we'll talk about the fifth of what Tim perceives to be Bignon's problems with his book: apologetic significance.

| Ep. 140 Tim and Scott Discuss their Epistemological Leanings | 11 Mar 2021 | 00:19:22 | |
Finally, in this episode, Tim and I stake out where we tend to lean in the epistemological debates I've been talking about. Spoiler alert: neither of us takes a particularly strong position, but we point out what we believe to be the biggest issues in both sides. We'd like to revisit this topic again in the future, hopefully with some special guests to help us think through these things. | |||

| Ep. 139 The Problem of Skepticism | 04 Mar 2021 | 00:19:32 | |
In this episode, we take a closer look at some of the skeptical theories of knowledge (if it's accurate to call them that). We talk about pure skepticism and weaker forms of skepticism, and see that it likely isn't a live option, particularly for the Christian, to maintain such a strong form of skepticism. | |||
| Ep. 138 Internalism vs. Externalism: An Epistemological Discussion | 25 Feb 2021 | 00:21:19 | |
In the second episode in our series discussing epistemology, we take a look at two opposing views on the nature of justification: internalism and externalism. I lay out what each of these views looks like and place it in the broader context of the epistemological project. Fun ep! | |||
| Ep. 137 Gina Carano & Epistemology | 18 Feb 2021 | 00:27:27 | |
No, those two topics are not related, but Tim and I start out this podcast talking about the Gina Carano controversy. If you're not interested in that, feel free to skip to about the 10 minute mark for our discussion on epistemology. In these next couple of episodes, I'll be laying out some various views and problems in epistemology that I learned about while attending my first semester in my master's program. This episode introduces the topics and talks about my general experience in school so far. | |||
| Ep. 136 We're Back! Tim Discusses the Response to His Book | 11 Feb 2021 | 00:27:59 | |
I know, I know, we have not done a podcast in awhile. And by that I mean our last episode was August 27th of 2020! There's no real interesting story as to why we took such a long break, other than the fact that I (Scott) started my M.A. in Philosophy and Tim published a book. As it turns out, this takes up a lot of time. Well, fortunately (or perhaps unfortunately) for you all, we have come back from our extended hiatus well-rested and ready to talk some more apologetics and theology with you wonderful folks. Or I suppose more accurately, AT you wonderful folks. In this episode, Tim and I discuss some of the response he received to his book. In particular, we do a brief overview of some of the criticisms raised by Guillaume Bignon, a Calvinist whose views are critiqued in the book. While Tim is still yet to publish his full response, we wanted to give everyone a taste of some of the things he is going to say. Stay tuned for more episodes coming weekly!

| Ep. 135 Freethinking About Reason, Knowledge, & Current Events | 27 Aug 2020 | 01:55:49 | |
Dr. Kelly Fitzsimmons Burton is an epistemologist (a philosopher who studies knowledge) who has authored the books "Reason and Proper Function" and "Retrieving Knowledge: A Socratic Response to Skepticism." Tim Stratton believes her work in epistemology has strengthened his FreeThinking Argument and also provides a platform to speak about what we can KNOW and how we should think about the cultural issues of our day. | |||
| Ep. 134 War on Campus: Iranian-American vs Cultural Marxism | 20 Aug 2020 | 01:57:46 | |
Adam Mehdi Mahdavi is an Iranian-American college student who has had enough of being inundated with Critical Theory and cultural Marxism on his college campus.

| Ep. 133 Replacing BLM with Biblical Unity: An Interview with Monique Duson | 19 Aug 2020 | 01:33:42 | |
"Black lives matter." That statement is objectively true, but the organization that goes by that name is evil. Monique Duson used to support the organization but now seeks to replace BLM with the Center for Biblical Unity.

| Ep. 132 Chasing the American Dream with Wintery Knight | 18 Aug 2020 | 01:52:34 | |
Who is "The Wintery Knight"? He's often referred to as the "Batman" of Christian Apologetics. This is the case because hardly anybody has seen his face unmasked or knows his true identity. One thing we do know is that despite the name "Wintery" he is a person of color. Be that as it may, he loves America and opposes the Marxist revolution growing in our society.

| Ep. 121 A Rational Refutation of Divine Determinism (Part 4) | 11 Jun 2020 | 00:26:19 | |
Recently, a good ol' theological "dust up" between two brothers in Christ has occurred. The French Calvinistic Philosopher Guillaume Bignon joined Eli Ayala on his Revealed Apologetics show to attack the work of three libertarian freedom fighters. Not only did Bignon have Tim Stratton's FreeThinking Argument Against Naturalism (FAAN) in his sights, he also had attempted to take down Leighton Flowers and Braxton Hunter. In this episode, Stratton (with the help of Timothy Fox) responds to Bignon's latest objections against the FAAN.
