He is a leading researcher on near-death experiences. While he has been on my show multiple times to talk about hellish near-death experiences, whether NDEs point to universalism, and more, the focus today is on discussing the top five documented cases. In other words, these five NDEs are among the best documented ones ever.READ: Is Christianity Compatible with Deathbed and Near-Death Experiences?

Costi Hinn is the nephew of the world-famous televangelist Benny Hinn. Traveling in private jets and staying in some of the most expensive hotels in the world, he had a front-row seat to the inner workings of the prosperity gospel.

Today, he shares his story and talks about dangers of prosperity gospel. READ: Walking in God's Will: Demystify God's Plan for Your Life and Make Decisions with Confidence by Costi W.

William Lane Craig considers his new Systematic Philosophical Theology a gift to the church. After having read Vol. 1, I agree 100%. This interview is one of the first Dr. Craig has done on the book. We discuss why he wrote it, what he covers in this volume (and the next ones), what makes a philosophical theology unique, and what this multi-volume study means to him personally.

What would happen if a Christian apologist (and his 12-year old son) visited a Buddhist Temple? You're about to find out! I had a memorable and fun tour with my new Buddhist friend at the Temple near where I live in southern California. They were kind enough to get us a tour guide and we were able to sit down and speak with their two of their leading monks after the tour. Let us know what you think! And do you want more videos like this? What would you do differently if you were me? What questions should I have asked? And what kind of follow-up discussion would you like. I gave them a copy of More Than a Carpenter, so maybe we follow up and discuss that (?).

Wesley Huff was recently on the Joe Rogan Experience, one of the largest podcasts in the world. A number of skeptics, atheists, and others have responded to his appearance. Because Alex O'Connor has one of the biggest channels, and he raises some of the best objections, William Lane Craig and I decided to focus our response to ten clips in this video: "How Wes Huff Got The Bible Wrong on Joe Rogan" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0qzvDSmKi4). We focus our response on some of the clips that relate to the identity of Jesus, and don't address some other issues such as the Dead Sea Scrolls.WATCH: Reacting to Wesley Huff on Joe Rogan: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MC-qf90_iQ4&t=206s*Get a MASTERS IN APOLOGETICS or SCIENCE AND RELIGION at BIOLA (https://bit.ly/3LdNqKf)*USE Discount Code [SMDCERTDISC] for 25% off the BIOLA APOLOGETICS CERTIFICATE program (https://bit.ly/3AzfPFM)*See our fully online UNDERGRAD DEGREE in Bible, Theology, and Apologetics: (https://bit.ly/448STKK)FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA: Twitter: https://twitter.com/Sean_McDowell TikTok: @sean_mcdowell Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/seanmcdowell/Website: https://seanmcdowell.org
