Love God with all your Mind

Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. -Mark 12:30 (NIV)

Intelligent Faith's mission is to defend and proclaim biblical truth around the world.  We accomplish this through teaching, speaking, and writing to train followers of Jesus how to love God with all our mind and persuade non-believers that Christianity is true. We are committed to preparing believers “to give an answer for the reason for the hope that we have.” (1 Peter 3:15)

In Defense of the Gospels

In 2016 I contemplated writing a book on the reliability of the Bible. It seems that many people have misconceptions about the Bible, including who the writers were, what it says, and whether today’s Bible accurately reflects what was originally written.

Reading the Bible Apologetically: A New Paradigm

I challenge you to try to read the New Testament apologetically, looking for the evidence and reasons given by Jesus and the biblical writers for believing that Jesus is the Way to God. I trust that the truth of the Gospel will jump from the pages and encourage you to step out and share the evidence when opportunities arise.
NIV? KJV? IF GOD HAS SPOKEN...

The Bible contains words that are presented as spoken directly from God. In other places the biblical writers record what they believe God revealed directly to them. In addition, the remainder of the Bible is considered by many to be inspired by God. Thus, the Bible is often referred to as the “Word of God.”
More Than A Prophet

Although I’ve taught for years about the deity of Jesus, this was a special opportunity to speak to Muslims who have only heard what their polemicists have told them, namely that Jesus is not God, and that the Bible has been corrupted.
“Transgender” Battle Lines Reach the Heartland

It is clear to me that the transgender battle lines are being drawn in the United States, with President Obama and the progressives on one side, churches on the other, and even many normally-indifferent Americans speaking out against allowing men into girl’s bathrooms and locker rooms because they “feel” like women.
Exposing the Ignorance of Skeptics

False rumors and urban legends are not new phenomena, but with the advent of the Internet, there is now no end to weird, strange, and often demonstrably false claims. Such is the case when a friend gave me a copy of a note provided by a skeptic.
Intelligent Faith Conferences

Last year I had the privilege of helping organize the first Intelligent Faith Conference in Cedar Rapids, Iowa (about three hours from where I live). The event was such a success that now it is an annual event.
An E-mail from a Friend

I recently returned from my teaching trip to Kenya and Uganda. As I am recovering from jet lag, I wanted to share with you a recent email from our dear friend in Uganda who set up a radio interview for me and all my teaching opportunities in Uganda.

The Fate of the Apostles—Evidence of the Resurrection?

Christians like to point to the martyrdom of the first apostles as evidence for the resurrection of Jesus. They base their hypothesis on the premise that people don’t die for a lie they know to be false. People might die for a lie that they believe to be true, but not one they know to be false.

Mark 16 - Do We NEED a Happy Ending?

Until just a few years ago when my husband mentioned it, I didn’t even know there was a question about the ending of Mark 16. When comparing the shorter ending with the longer ending, it is clear that the longer version is a happier ending. Did Bible editors include the longer version just to give us a happy ending?

Marriage is Not Eternal

Did you ever wonder why we say, “until death do us part?” It’s because there will be no marriage in the life after death. How do we know this? Because the apostle Luke tells us that Jesus said so.
