Can AI Help Me Study The Bible?
Radio host Mark Dickey has a bone to pick with AI — it once handed him a Bible verse in the wrong translation. Pastor Burt Miller isn\'t so quick to write it off, but he\'s got his own horror story: an AI confidently invented a quote from Lee Strobel\'s The Case for Miracles, then cheerfully agreed it was wrong when called out.In this episode of the Why Do Christians podcast, Mark and Burt dig into what AI is actually good for, and where it falls apart. They talk digital echo chambers, why chatbots fill in gaps with stuff that sounds right, and the AI sermon that “nailed the text” but completely missed the point. Learn why Google is to Bible study, what WebMD is to being an actual doctor.Spoiler: the printing press was supposed to make us dumb too. Go to church, ask hard questions, and don\'t panic.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?

Does God Cause Natural Disasters?
When hurricanes, earthquakes, and wildfires hit, is God behind it—or just watching it happen? In this episode of the Why Do Christians podcast, Mark, Pastor Burt, and Pastor Josh tackle one of the most frequently asked questions of believers and skeptics: Does God cause natural disasters?They walk through biblical examples like the Flood, Sodom and Gomorrah, Jonah’s storm, and Jesus’ words in Luke 13, wrestling with God’s judgment, Satan’s activity, and a broken creation. Along the way they unpack what it means for God to allow vs cause suffering, why we can’t claim a specific disaster is punishment for certain people, and how Jesus redirects the question back to our own hearts and need for repentance.If you’ve ever wondered why “good people” get hurt, why “bad people” seem to prosper, or where God is when tragedy hits, this conversation is for 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?

Do "Bad" People Go To Heaven?
Ever wondered if “being a good person” is really enough to get you into Heaven? In this episode of the Why Do Christians podcast, Mark Dickey and Pastor Burt Miller tackle one of the most uncomfortable questions in Christianity: Are there really a lot of “good” people going to Hell?They break down why the Bible says no one is truly good, why our “good deeds” can’t erase our sin, and what Jesus actually requires in John 6. They unpack the thief on the cross, the parable of the workers in the vineyard, and how grace flips our ideas of fairness upside down. Plus, Pastor Burt explains why following Jesus isn’t about earning points with God, but about a transformed life that flows from love.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?

Does God Care If I'm Legally Married? (With Special Guest: Josh Bell)
Can you be “married before God” without involving the government? In this episode of Why Do Christians, Mark Dickey sits down with Pastor Burt Miller and Special Guest Pastor Josh Bell to unpack why Christians have both a church wedding and a legal marriage license.They dive into what the Bible says about marriage as part of God’s design for creation, why it’s more than just a private spiritual moment. Also how legal marriage actually protects families, finances, and future kids. The guys also tackle questions about non‑Christian marriages, vow renewals after coming to faith, and whether a church‑only wedding (with no paperwork) “counts.”If you’ve ever wondered where faith ends and government begins when it comes to saying “I do,” this conversation is for 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?

Signs of a False Prophet (With Special Guest: Josh Lewis)
What exactly is a “false prophet,” and how can you tell if you’re following one? In this episode of the Why Do Christians podcast, Mark and Pastor Burt sit down again with Josh Lewis from Remnant Radio for Part 2 of their conversation on spiritual discernment.They dig into practical red flags: leaders who play the “Thus sayeth the Lord” trump card to shut down questions, pyramid-style authority structures where the “man of God” can’t be challenged, and Bible teaching built on wild, over‑spiritualized interpretations no one in church history has ever held.Josh also unpacks why character and the fruit of the Spirit matter more than charisma, and Pastor Burt shares a personal story of getting pulled into a cult‑like ministry. Finally, they offer pastoral guidance on what to do if you realize you may be in an unhealthy church—when to confront, when to leave, and how to guard your heart going forward.You can learn more about Josh’s ministry at https://theremnantradio.com/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 Following A False Prophet? (With Special Guest: Josh Lewis)
In this episode of the Why Do Christians? podcast, Mark and Pastor Burt sit down with Josh Lewis from Remnant Radio and King’s Fellowship Church in Ada, Oklahoma to tackle a big question: Am I following a false prophet?Josh walks through what the Bible actually says about prophets and false prophets, starting in the Old Testament with Exodus and Deuteronomy, then into the New Testament’s call to “test the spirits.” Together they unpack the difference between a false prophet who leads people away from God, and a flawed or disqualified leader who might still teach orthodox doctrine but lacks godly character.They also discuss situations like when people say, “God told me…” and then get it wrong. How should churches handle prophetic words in a healthy, accountable way? The conversation even brushes up against prosperity-style televangelists and what makes some of that teaching a false gospel.Stay tuned—next week they’ll dig into specific warning signs to watch for in pastors and prophets.You can learn more about Josh’s ministry at https://theremnantradio.com/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?

Is Faith Against Science?
Ever felt like the more you learn about science, the harder it is to believe in God? In this episode of the Why Do Christians podcast, Mark, Pastor Burt, and Pastor Josh dive into the tension many of us feel between what we read in the Bible and what we hear in the classroom.They unpack big topics like evolution, the Big Bang, miracles, and morality. Does following the evidence really mean walking away from faith, or could it actually point us toward God? The guys talk about the difference between the “what” that science explains, and the “why” that Scripture reveals. Why leaving Christianity isn’t a move to “no belief,” but to a different belief system.If you’ve ever wondered, “Am I too educated to be a Christian?” This conversation is for 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?
