What Gen Z Wants to Know w/ Tanita Maddox
In a world where Gen Z is more connected than ever—and yet more anxious, lonely, and unsure of their worth—what questions are they really asking about God? In this episode of Truth Changes Everything, Dr. Jeff Myers sits down with Tanita Maddox to explore the deeper spiritual and emotional struggles shaping today's generation. Drawing from decades of ministry experience and doctoral research, Tanita explains why many young people are not rejecting faith as much as they are searching for meaning, belonging, authenticity, and hope. Together, they unpack: * Why Gen Z often feels unseen, misunderstood, and "not enough" * How smartphones and social media reshaped identity and self-worth * The difference between answering theological questions and hearing the pain beneath them * Why apologetics alone cannot address loneliness, anxiety, and suffering * What Gen Z actually wants from parents, mentors, and the Church * How everyday presence and authentic relationships can open the door to deeper faith conversations * Why young people care deeply about injustice, suffering, and whether God is restoring the world Tanita also shares practical insights for parents, pastors, educators, and mentors seeking to communicate truth in ways that feel real, compassionate, and deeply relevant to everyday life. If you've ever wondered why younger generations seem disconnected from faith—or how to better reach them with the hope of the Gospel—this conversation offers both clarity and encouragement.

Rethinking the Bible: Is It Really the 'Good Book'? w/ John Marriott & Shawn Wicks
Is the Bible really good—or have we misunderstood it? Many people walk away from Christianity after reading the Bible for themselves. But what if the issue isn't the Bible… it's how we've been taught to read it? In this episode of Truth Changes Everything, we sit down with John Marriott and Shawn Wicks, co-authors of Is It Really the Good Book?, to tackle one of the most important—and challenging—questions facing faith today: Is the Bible actually good? Together, we explore why doubt often begins with faulty assumptions about Scripture, how to approach difficult passages without losing faith, and why understanding the Bible in its proper context changes everything. If you've ever wrestled with questions about the Bible—or know someone who has—this conversation is for you. 🔗 Resources & Links 👉 More from Summit Ministries: https://summit.org

The Sin of Antisemitism: What Christians Must Understand Today w/ Jeremy Jacobs
In this episode of the Truth Changes Everything Podcast, Jeremy Jacobs (co-founder of Stories of Antisemitism) unpacks the deeper roots of antisemitism—both historically and within the Church—and how Christians are called to respond with truth, humility, and courage. Antisemitism is not just a cultural issue—it's a theological one. But what's driving its resurgence today, and why do so many Christians hesitate to speak out? In this conversation, we explore: *The historical and spiritual roots of antisemitism * Why antisemitism is rising in America and around the world * The Church's silence—and what's behind it * What the New Testament teaches about the Jewish people * Why antisemitism within the Church is uniquely harmful * The role of repentance, humility, and biblical truth * How Christians can stand against antisemitism today Jeremy also shares practical ways believers can build bridges, advocate for their Jewish neighbors, and reflect the heart of Christ in a divided world. 🔗 Resources & Links 👉 Learn more: https://storiesofantisemitism.com 👉 More from Summit Ministries: https://summit.org

The Peace of God Explained | Shalom, Anxiety, Apologetics & the Resurrection /w Jeremiah Johnston
In a world filled with anxiety, doubt, and cultural pressure, how can Christians experience—and defend—the true peace of God? In this episode, New Testament scholar Jeremiah Johnston joins us to discuss his new project, the Peace of God Bible, and why recovering a biblical understanding of shalom is critical for today's students and young believers. We explore how modern culture has reshaped the idea of peace into something shallow and temporary—and how Scripture offers something far deeper, more enduring, and transformative. Jeremiah shares insights from his work in apologetics and cultural engagement, highlighting the growing mental health crisis among students and the urgent need for a robust, biblical worldview. You'll learn: What makes the Peace of God Bible unique from traditional study Bibles Why shalom is more than emotional calm—it's a holistic vision of flourishing The cultural and worldview challenges undermining true peace today How students can defend a biblical understanding of peace in conversations and apologetics Key Scriptures that anchor a deeper, richer understanding of God's peace How the Resurrection of Jesus—and even the Shroud of Turin—points to ultimate peace and hope Jeremiah also shares powerful stories of young Christians whose lives and witness were transformed by embracing Christ's peace. Whether you're a student, parent, educator, or ministry leader, this conversation will equip you to think biblically, live confidently, and share the truth that changes everything. 👍 Like, subscribe, and share if this episode encouraged you!

Is the Bible Historically Accurate? Archaeological Evidence Explained w/ Titus Kennedy
What if the heroes and leaders of the Bible weren't only spiritual heros, but real people who walked the earth? For centuries, critics have claimed the Bible is little more than myth, legend, or theological imagination. But archaeology has a way of complicating that story. Today on Truth Changes Everything, we're talking with archaeologist Dr. Titus Kennedy, who has worked at nearly twenty excavation sites across six countries and researched artifacts in museums around the world. In his work, he traces the historical evidence for more than a hundred people mentioned in Scripture—from King David and Isaiah to Herod the Great, John the Baptist, and even Jesus of Nazareth. We'll explore what archaeology can—and can't—tell us, why some biblical figures were once dismissed as mythical and what discoveries changed scholarly consensus. If you've ever wondered whether faith and history can actually coexist—or if archaeology undermines or supports the biblical story—this conversation is for you. 👍 Like, subscribe, and share if this episode encouraged you!

How Church Could (Literally) Save Your Life w/ Rebecca McLaughlin
As anxiety, depression, and loneliness continue to rise, fewer people are attending church than ever before. But what if we've overlooked a powerful connection between faith, community, and human flourishing? In this episode of the Truth Changes Everything podcast, we sit down with Rebecca McLaughlin—author of How Church Could (Literally) Save Your Life—to explore the surprising research behind church attendance and well-being. Study after study shows that those who regularly attend religious services tend to be happier, healthier, and even live longer. Why is that? And could church be part of the solution to today's mental health crisis? We tackle some of the biggest questions surrounding faith and community: Why are millions of Americans walking away from church? Is church really different from any other kind of community? Do the benefits of church attendance apply to young people—or just older adults? What about those who have been hurt by the church? How do you stay committed to a church when you don't agree with everything? Rebecca also shares powerful insights on the impact of church on children, teens, and families—and challenges the idea that church is just a "nice add-on" to life rather than something essential. If you've ever wondered whether gathering together in worship actually matters—or if it could even change your life—this conversation is for you. 👍 Like, subscribe, and share if this episode encouraged you!

5 Apologetic Methods Every Christian Should Know w/Timothy Paul Jones
Many of our listeners know that apologetics is the defense of the Christian faith, but did you know there are multiple ways to do it? Different conversations call for different approaches. How do you engage an atheist who doesn't believe God exists? Must you first establish God's existence before talking about Jesus? And what about the biases we all bring into these discussions? Can the Church itself still serve as a compelling testimony to the truth of Christianity? In this episode, Timothy Paul Jones walks us through five key apologetic methods—classical, evidential, presuppositional, cultural, and ecclesial—and explains how to apply them wisely and winsomely in real-life conversations. Timothy is a professor of Christian apologetics at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary and pastor at Sojourn Community Church. He is the author of award-winning books including Church as It Is in Heaven, How We Got the Bible, and Christian History Made Easy. He holds degrees from Manhattan Christian College, Midwestern Seminary, and Southern Seminary, and is completing a Ph.D. at Stellenbosch University. Timothy frequently lectures and appears in various media platforms. 🎧 Tune in and discover how to defend your faith thoughtfully, confidently, and with grace.
