Unapologetic with Mike Eppel

Does Science Disprove God (Part 1)

Mike discusses arguments used to challenge Jesus' resurrection that stem from a philosophy called naturalism - the belief that the material world is the sum total of reality. Though such challenges are intimidating at first glance, they ultimately carry little substance since they are based on personal opinion rather than evidence. 

The Peace of God

Mike delivers a sermon on Philippians 4:1-9, discussing how people can find the peace of God by giving thanks for the gift of eternal life that is provided by Jesus' death on the cross. Additionally, the peace of God naturally results from the careful application of virtuous practices into the lives of believers. 

Was Jesus an Alien?

Mike discusses more obscure theories (like Jesus being an alien) that do not directly address the facts of the resurrection, but nevertheless attempt to undermine the trustworthiness of the Gospel records. 

Fraud, Fiction, or Fact?

Mike discusses several opposing theories to the resurrection of Jesus, including theories that the resurrection was a work of fiction or an act of deception put on by Jesus' disciples. 

Was Jesus a Hallucination?

Mike discusses the various psychological theories proposed by skeptics to explain the resurrection. 

Advancing the Gospel

Mike takes a break from his series on "The Case for the Resurrection of Jesus" to present a sermon he recently gave on Philippians 1:12-18, explaining how Christians can advance the gospel during times of adversity. Western civilization has become increasingly hostile to Christianity in recent years, making it more difficult to live the lives Christ has called us to. Despite this, the apostle Paul tells us that we can share the good news of Jesus boldly and with joy. 

Facts 3, 4, & 5 of the Resurrection

Mike discusses the final three facts of the resurrection: 3) Paul, the persecutor, was changed, 4) James, the skeptic, was changed, and 5) the empty tomb. 

Facts 1 & 2 of the Resurrection

Mike discusses the first two facts of history relating to the resurrection: Jesus' death and the disciples' belief that they saw the risen Jesus. 

The 5 Principles of History

Mike discusses the five principles that guide historians when determining the truth of historical events. 

Why Do Christians Need Evidence?

Mike introduces the importance of the resurrection of Jesus to the Christian faith and why Christians would benefit from historical evidence to support their beliefs.
