Is Christian faith just “believing without evidence”? That’s the myth. Let’s crush it.

In this Building Blocks episode, Dr. Shaun Michael tackles one of the biggest misconceptions out there—that faith and reason are enemies. Drawing from Scripture and real-world logic, you'll discover that biblical faith is not blind, shallow, or anti-intellectual. It’s reasoned, evidence-based, and utterly transformational.

In this episode, you’ll explore:

• What biblical faith really means (and what it absolutely doesn’t).
• How Jesus and Paul both used logic, evidence, and persuasion.
• Why reason and faith aren’t enemies, but allies.
• Practical ways to grow in thoughtful, mature Christian belief.
• How to spot and reject false views of faith, from skeptics and church culture.

Whether you're battling doubt, talking with unbelievers, or just tired of shallow answers, this episode equips you to love God with all your heart—and all your mind.

Key Scriptures: Hebrews 11:1 • Romans 8:24 • 1 Peter 3:15 • Isaiah 1:18 • Matthew 22 • Acts 17 • Mark 12:30

Faith isn’t a leap into the dark—it’s a step into the light.

In Part 2 of Worldview Essentials, host Shaun Michael goes deeper into the “why” and “how” of holding a biblical worldview in a culture full of competing beliefs.

This episode unpacks:

• Why it’s not enough to just believe—you need to know why you believe.
• How to recognize and evaluate other worldviews without compromising truth.
• A breakdown of the core components of a Christian worldview—from Creation to Redemption to the Kingdom of God.
• Three practical questions to assess any belief system: What is good? What is broken? What is evil?
• How to have conversations marked by compassion and conviction.

You’ll also learn how to test your own worldview for logical consistency, alignment with reality, and biblical grounding, so that your faith isn’t just personal, but powerfully transformational.

Welcome back to the Building Blocks series from Apex ApologetIQ! In this episode, host Dr. Shaun Michael breaks down a term that affects everything about how we live, think, and believe: worldview.

Everyone has one—whether they realize it or not. It’s the lens through which we interpret life, make decisions, and define morality, purpose, and identity. But how do we know if our worldview is actually true?

In Part 1 of “Worldview Essentials,” we cover:

• What a worldview is and why it matters.
• How your worldview shapes decisions, morality, identity, and culture.
• The four foundational questions every worldview must answer: origin, meaning, morality, and destiny.
• A comparison of Christianity’s answers with Islam, naturalism, pantheism, and postmodernism.
• Why not all worldviews can be true (Law of Noncontradiction, anyone?).
• How the biblical worldview provides the most consistent and compelling answers to life’s biggest questions.

This episode gives you a practical framework to evaluate ideas, challenge false narratives, and live out your faith with clarity in a confused culture.

• Real-world examples of logic in the Bible (Jesus and Paul were logic masters).
• How to recognize and avoid common logical fallacies.
• Why faith and logic are not opposites, but beautifully compatible.
• Guidelines for respectful, rational conversations with skeptics.

You don’t need a philosophy degree to think well. Just a willingness to grow, reason, and communicate truth with clarity. This episode gives you the tools to sharpen your mind and your witness, because a well-reasoned faith is a confident one.
