What happens to me when I die?
What really happens after we die—and how sure can we be about it? In this episode of the Why Do Christians… podcast, Mark sits down with Pastors Burt and Josh to talk about about Heaven, Hell, and what the Bible actually emphasizes about life after death. They unpack why Scripture focuses more on God’s big story of redemption and resurrection than on the “in‑between,” what it means to be absent from the body and present with the Lord, and why Hell is pictured as a place we really don’t want to be. They also tackle questions about ghosts, hauntings, and whether our loved ones can see us from Heaven. If you’re facing illness, grieving someone you love, or just wrestling with fear of death, this conversation offers both realism and real hope in Christ—grounded in Scripture, not clichés.The Bridge Podcast Network is made possible by generous support from The Boardwalk Plaza Hotel and Victoria’s Restaurant on the boardwalk in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware - Open 7 days a week, year-round - Learn more at https://boardwalkplaza.comFeedback, or Show Ideas?

Created In 6 Days?
In this episode of the Why Do Christians? podcast, Mark, Pastor Burt, and Pastor Josh wrestle with a big question: Was the earth really created in six days?They dig into Genesis 1, talk about what it means for God to create in six days and rest on the seventh, and unpack why Christians—even heavyweights like C.S. Lewis and St. Augustine—haven’t always agreed on whether the creation story is literal or symbolic.The guys look at how verses like Exodus 20:11 support a six-day view, and why this debate should never be a friendship-breaker. They also honestly engage with science, carbon dating, and the age of the earth, and share how God’s power to create instantly—like forming Adam as an adult or Jesus turning water into aged wine—shapes their perspective.In the end, they remind us that the core of Christianity isn’t how old you think the earth is, but who you believe Jesus is.The Bridge Podcast Network is made possible by generous support from The Boardwalk Plaza Hotel and Victoria’s Restaurant on the boardwalk in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware - Open 7 days a week, year-round - Learn more at https://boardwalkplaza.comFeedback, or Show Ideas?

Relationship Vs. Religion
In this episode of “Why Do Christians…?”, Mark, Pastor Burt, and Pastor Josh dig into the popular phrase, “It’s not a religion, it’s a relationship.” Where did it come from, what did it originally mean, and has it actually hurt how we think about faith?They trace the idea through revival movements, Campus Crusade For Christ, and the push against “dead formalism.” They ask: did we swing too far in reacting against “organized religion”? The guys talk Pharisees, church hurt, deconstruction, and why the New Testament actually assumes we’ll be part of an organized, structured church community—with pastors, teaching, communion, and accountability.If you’ve ever said “I’m spiritual, not religious,” or felt burned by church culture, this conversation will challenge how you see religion, relationship, and the local church—and why the answer to bad religion isn’t no religion, but good religion.The Bridge Podcast Network is made possible by generous support from The Boardwalk Plaza Hotel and Victoria’s Restaurant on the boardwalk in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware - Open 7 days a week, year-round - Learn more at https://boardwalkplaza.comFeedback, or Show Ideas?

Are All Sins Really The Same?
In this episode of the Why Do Christians? podcast, Mark sits down with Pastors Burt and Josh to tackle a big question: are all sins really the same? You’ve probably heard that line before—but is it actually biblical?Together they walk through Scripture to show how all sin separates us from a Holy God, yet the Bible clearly speaks of different degrees and consequences of sin. They unpack verses from James, Romans, John, and more, talk about why genocide is not the same as stealing a lollipop, and why our tendency to compare ourselves to “worse sinners” totally misses the point.You’ll also hear how God’s grace is greater than our repeated failures, why forgiveness isn’t a “sin tally,” and how the same grace that saves us also teaches us to turn from sin and follow Jesus.The Bridge Podcast Network is made possible by generous support from The Boardwalk Plaza Hotel and Victoria’s Restaurant on the boardwalk in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware - Open 7 days a week, year-round - Learn more at https://boardwalkplaza.comFeedback, or Show Ideas?

Do babies go to Heaven?
Why do Christians believe babies go to heaven—especially when the Bible doesn’t give a direct, clear answer? In this episode, Mark, Pastor Burt, and Pastor Josh tackle one of the heaviest and most tender questions people ask after loss.They walk through what Scripture does and doesn’t say, looking at passages like David’s grief over his child and Jesus’ heart for little children. The guys trace how ideas like the “age of accountability” developed in church history, push back on unbiblical notions of limbo and “mild condemnation,” and point instead to God’s character—His justice, goodness, and deep love for children.They also speak directly to parents who’ve walked through miscarriage, infant loss, or abortion, reminding them that God hates death more than we do, that He has acted decisively in Jesus to defeat it, and that we can entrust our children to His kindness, not our performance.The Bridge Podcast Network is made possible by generous support from The Boardwalk Plaza Hotel and Victoria’s Restaurant on the boardwalk in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware - Open 7 days a week, year-round - Learn more at https://boardwalkplaza.comFeedback, or Show Ideas?

Am I Praying Wrong?
What if the main thing you’re getting wrong about prayer isn’t how you pray, but why you pray? In this episode of the Why Do Christians Podcast, Mark and Pastor Josh unpack some of the biggest misunderstandings we bring to prayer—like blaming “lack of time” or “lack of discipline” when the real issue is what we believe about God and ourselves.They walk through Jesus’ teaching on prayer in Luke 18, Matthew 7, and John 14 to show why prayer is for the weak, dependent, and honest, not the spiritual “rock stars.” Along the way, Mark shares how God redirected his old rock-star dreams, and the guys wrestle with harder questions: unanswered prayers, chronic illness, tragedy, and why God doesn’t always do what seems “obviously good” to us.You’ll hear how persistence in prayer is less about finding a magic formula and more about being children who keep coming to a good Father—one who may not give us everything we want, but will always give us Himself.The Bridge Podcast Network is made possible by generous support from The Boardwalk Plaza Hotel and Victoria’s Restaurant on the boardwalk in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware - Open 7 days a week, year-round - Learn more at https://boardwalkplaza.comFeedback, or Show Ideas?

Why Do Christians Believe We Are In The End Times?
Are we actually living in the “end times,” or are we just doomscrolling too much? In this episode of the Why Do Christians podcast, Mark, Pastor Josh, and Pastor Burt tackle big questions about wars, moral decline, technology, Israel and the Middle East, and what the Bible really says about the “last days.”They walk through passages like Matthew 24, 2 Peter 3, 2 Timothy 3, and Acts 2, push back on fear-driven headlines, and explain why every generation has thought, “This has to be it.” More importantly, they show how Scripture shifts our focus from prediction to readiness, hope, and everyday faithfulness.If you’ve ever wondered, “Should I be freaking out about the end of the world?” this conversation will help you trade panic for perspective—and maybe even look forward to Jesus’ return.The Bridge Podcast Network is made possible by generous support from The Boardwalk Plaza Hotel and Victoria’s Restaurant on the boardwalk in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware - Open 7 days a week, year-round - Learn more at https://boardwalkplaza.comFeedback, or Show Ideas?

Why Do Christians Say Jesus Is Their Friend?
Ever heard someone say, “I’m friends with Jesus,” and wondered what that actually means? In this episode of the Why Do Christians podcast, Mark Dickey sits down with Pastor Burt and Pastor Josh to unpack what the Bible really says about being a friend of God. They dive into John 15, where Jesus calls His followers “friends,” and connect it with passages like Romans 5 and Ephesians 2 to show that this isn’t just for the original 12 disciples—it’s for every believer who trusts in Him. The guys tackle misconceptions like “tiered” Christianity, the “buddy Christ” idea, and the danger of getting so casual with God that we lose reverence. They talk about what true friendship with God looks like: constant presence, honest prayer, being fully known without pretending, and living in awe of a holy God who actually wants you.The Bridge Podcast Network is made possible by generous support from The Boardwalk Plaza Hotel and Victoria’s Restaurant on the boardwalk in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware - Open 7 days a week, year-round - Learn more at https://boardwalkplaza.comFeedback, or Show Ideas?
