How Atheism Falls Short In Explaining the Universe

In this podcast, host Cassian King engages those outside the Orthodox Faith—and helps faithful listeners learn how to do so as well—through the use of apologetics. Apologetics, simply put, means giving a reason, defense, or explanation for your beliefs. Christians have a long history of using this technique, as 1 Peter 3:15 says, “Always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you.” With respect and in a spirit of humility, this show creates a defense for the Scriptures, Church Fathers, and dogmatics, as well as for the beauty, truth, and sacramental nature of the Faith, while also engaging with current cultural issues.
