Episode 1: World Philosophies that trash the Bible and God | 40 min
There have been many world philosophies that have tried to explain the state of world and the nature of humankind. Many claim that God does not exist (or man has killed the need for religion) and some even go so far as to say evil does not exist. These philosophies also predict that humankind will progress and get better and in such a world, why does the Bible matter? The Bible has a very different view of the world and humankind and offers are very different path to redemption and peace.

Episode 3: Pivotal Moment in Time Part 2 – Resurrection of Jesus | 35 min
After Jesus was illegally condemned and crucified, the Bible says He rose from the grave. The resurrection is the most contested historical event and many claim that it is a fairytale or a trick. However there are logical problems with the skeptic theories. There is also the manner in which the resurrection occurred that follows the legal requirements of acceptable evidence (and especially eyewitness evidence) in a court.
