Towards Belief
Towards Belief is a series seeking to defuse the belief blockers of our time. Based on research in Australia in 2011 conducted for Olive Tree Media, Towards Belief follows pastor and host, Karl Faase as he travels to the UK, USA, and Australia to interview over 30 of the world’s leading thinkers including John Lennox, Nicky Gumbel, and John Dickson.
The 10 episodes are each 28 minutes in length. The episode topics are:
1 – Suffering: This episode presents both an intellectual and personal response to the issues posed by the existence of suffering.
2 - The Bible: This episode looks at whether what the Bible contains is historically accurate and can be trusted.
3 - Supernatural: This episode explores belief in the supernatural and looks at a specific case where it seems that supernatural intervention is undeniable.
4 - Religious Violence: This episode explores whether Christianity, as a religious worldview, causes wars, atrocities and genocides. How does the Church respond to this charge?
5 - Exclusive Faith: Christianity’s claim that Jesus is the only way to God is viewed as arrogant, intolerant and a significant blocker to personal belief. In this episode, guests give plausible reasons for the Christian worldview.
6 - Church Abuse: Abuse scandals, particularly in relation to children, have rocked the Church, leaving it open to the charge of hypocrisy.
7 - Science & God: Eminent and experienced scientists explain how and why they can have scientific credentials from the world’s leading universities, as well as having a Christian faith.
8 – Homosexuality: In this episode we look at the Biblical view on homosexuality and what is the Christian response in the current social environment.
9 - The Church: There is a public perception that the Christian Church is dying. We talk with leaders who are seeing the Church grow and they give their perspective on the future of the Church.
10 - Towards Belief: In the end, there is still a step of faith to be taken. This episode looks back over the personal stories of some of the guests and seeks to clarify that choice.
