About this listen

Welcome to Apex ApologetIQ! Where faith meets reason and truth cuts through the noise of the digital age. This isn’t your typical Sunday School. It’s a bold space for curious minds, thinking Christians, and real conversations about life, culture, and truth.

Each week on the podcast, we dive into the hard questions about Christianity: science and faith, truth and tolerance, sexuality and identity, evil and suffering, Jesus and the resurrection, and more. We break it down with intellectual honesty, solid theology, and practical takeaways, because knowing what you believe and why shouldn’t be confusing.

If you’re a young adult wrestling with doubt, craving real answers, or just want to sharpen your faith, this is the place for you! We exist to equip the next generation of believers to stand firm, speak truth, and engage the culture with confidence, clarity, and compassion.

Whether you're skeptical, seeking, or sold out for Christ, we invite you to grow with us. This is more than a podcast. It’s a movement to think critically, live faithfully, and never settle for shallow faith.

  • S1E11 - Does God Exist? This Mind-Blowing Argument Says Yes | Kalam Explained
    Aug 8 2025

    Welcome back to Apex ApologetIQ—where truth meets reason, and young minds get equipped to stand firm.

    In this episode, Dr. Shaun Michael launches the “Understanding Evidences for God” mini-series by unpacking one of the most powerful philosophical arguments for God’s existence—the Kalam Cosmological Argument.

    This isn’t your grandma’s Sunday School.

    You’ll hear:

    • Why everything that begins to exist must have a cause.
    • Why science and logic confirm that the universe had a beginning.
    • Why the best explanation for the origin of the universe is a timeless, immaterial, powerful, personal Creator.
    • How the Trinity uniquely explains order, beauty, and relational depth in creation.
    • Why alternative worldviews—like atheistic naturalism or non-Trinitarian theism—fall short.

    We break it down in plain English with logic and Scripture, showing that Christianity doesn’t fear questions—it answers them better than anything else out there.

    Featured Scriptures: Genesis 1:1, John 1:1-3, Romans 1:20, Hebrews 11:3, Psalm 90:2

    Questions we ask:

    • What caused the universe?
    • Why can’t there be an infinite past?
    • Why is the Trinity not just theological, but necessary?

    📲 Listen, take notes, and share with a skeptic or curious friend. Your faith isn’t blind—it’s bulletproof when it’s grounded in truth.

  • S1E10 - Faith Revolutionized Science: The Founding Fathers of Modern Science
    Aug 1 2025

    In Part 2 of Faith and Science, host Dr. Shaun Michael pulls back the curtain on the forgotten faith behind some of the world’s greatest scientific minds—and why that matters today more than ever.

    You’ll discover:

    • How giants like Newton, Kepler, Pascal, and Bacon saw science as worship.
    • Why faith served as the foundation for the rise of modern science.
    • How the Bible contains insights about the world long before modern science caught up.
    • The moral guardrails faith provides for the use of science.
    • Why worldview shapes how scientists interpret data—even when looking at the same evidence.

    This isn’t just a history lesson. It’s a challenge to believers and skeptics alike: to recognize that faith and science aren’t enemies, they’re teammates pointing to the same Author.

    📖 Key Topics: Scientific pioneers, the myth of the conflict thesis, biblical observations ahead of their time, worldview bias in scientific interpretation, and how Scripture complements science without replacing it.

  • S1E9 - Are Science And Faith Really At War? The Debate Rages!
    Jul 25 2025

    Are faith and science at war? Or are they actually teammates in the pursuit of truth?

    In Part 1 of Faith and Science, host Dr. Shaun Michael dismantles the myth that Christianity is anti-science. With clarity, wit, and a dose of strategic sarcasm, he shows how the Christian worldview not only makes science possible—it gives it meaning.

    In this episode, you'll discover:

    • Why “science vs. faith” is a false dilemma.
    • How the scientific method can’t answer life’s biggest questions.
    • How atheistic naturalism borrows from the Christian worldview just to function.
    • Where science ends and faith steps in with purpose.
    • How legendary scientists like Kepler and Newton were driven by their faith.

    You’ll also get mind-probing questions and memorable analogies to help you think critically, challenge lazy slogans like “science says,” and build a worldview that holds up in real life and real conversations.

    📖 Key Concepts: Scientific limitations, metaphysics, morality, aesthetics, history, Atheistic blunders, and the philosophical foundations science depends on
