When you give this Giving Tuesday, you’re not just creating key opportunities — you’re fueling a movement of steadfast truth, reason, and gospel-centered clarity in a world that desperately needs it.   And we’re thrilled to share that Alisa Childers believes deeply in this project, so much so that she recorded a special video message just for you.    Because generous partners believe in this project so strongly, they’ve provided a $25,000 matching challenge. That means every gift is doubled through Giving Tuesday!   Help us reach the $50,000 needed by midnight on Giving Tuesday to amplify powerful SES voices in 2026!

Eyewitness vs. early sources explained. When you try to do good history, there are a number of things you need: early, eyewitness, and multiple independent sources. These three things are what we find in Jesus' resurrection. Share this reel with someone exploring the resurrection. Ready to defend your faith?

Is church a hospital or a country club? Church exists to help spiritually broken individuals find grace and growth rather than serve as a museum for perfect people.

People who can no longer distinguish truth and lies cannot distinguish between right and wrong. -Phil Ginn When a culture abandons absolute truth, morality completely breaks down. We can't stand by and let lies redefine right and wrong. As Christians, we are called to know the truth, defend it, and live it out boldly. Send this to a friend who needs this.

Lab life proves a Creator. Even the most basic protocellular structures created in modern laboratories require centuries of accumulated scientific knowledge, specialized expertise, and precise, intelligent manipulation. If creating even a crude facsimile of a single cell demands immense human ingenuity, it provides strong empirical evidence that the original emergence of life required an intelligent mind.

In this video, retired Superior Court Judge Phil Ginn (President of Southern Evangelical Seminary) issues a stark warning about the current moral and cultural state of America. Drawing from his decades on the bench, Judge Ginn argues that our nation's deepest issues cannot be fixed by politics, higher education, or government institutions, but rather by returning to objective truth. Watch the full breakdown: youtu.be/Fy3DZRZXRFQ He explains how civilization crumbles under falsehoods and quotes German political philosopher Hannah Arendt on the true danger of total propaganda: not convincing people to believe a single lie, but destroying their ability to distinguish truth from wrong entirely.

Calling out hypocrisy proves God exists. Calling out hypocritical behavior requires assuming that an objective moral standard actually exists in the first place. Without a supreme authority to ground moral expectations, calling someone a hypocrite becomes completely meaningless. Acknowledging universal human failure simply reinforces the reality of our fallen nature and points directly to the necessity of a savior.

The resurrection validates Jesus' claims. The resurrection functions as an absolute divine endorsement of everything Jesus taught during His earthly ministry. God would never perform the ultimate miracle to validate a deceiver or confirm false spiritual claims. Raising Jesus from the dead provides undeniable confirmation that His identity and His message are absolute truth. Share this with someone exploring the logic behind the resurrection.

In this clip, Dr. Frank Turek (CrossExamined.org) breaks down the true biblical definition of love. Using 1 Corinthians 13, he explains why real love requires standing up for the truth rather than enabling harmful choices or prioritizing social peace over God's standards. Watch how Dr. Turek addresses the struggle Christians face when loved ones embrace unbiblical lifestyles, explaining why "fraternity often overcomes theology" and offering a practical, question-based strategy to speak hard truths with love: youtu.be/0y-kManw6Hk Ready to explore how modern science and biblical truth seamlessly align?

Multiple biological codes point to design. Molecular biology continues to uncover sophisticated layers of genetic control that go far beyond basic DNA sequences. The discovery of inheritable epigenetic tags and functional regulatory networks inside so-called "junk DNA" challenges simple evolutionary models. Complex, overlapping information processing systems strongly suggest an intentional design originating from a supreme intellect.

Are you doubting Christianity? Fluctuating feelings and changing moods frequently distort our perception of objective reality.

🔴NEW VIDEO! Reaching high-level intellectuals and skeptics with the gospel requires an entirely different layer of patience. Pastoring a church directly situated between Caltech and the Skeptics Society, Dr. Hugh Ross has spent decades watching atheists walk through his doors specifically to "sharpen their claws" on Christians—only to eventually surrender their lives to Jesus Christ. Explore how modern science and biblical truth seamlessly align: youtu.be/KfOQTPeNJW8 In this video, Dr. Ross shares hilarious and profound stories of cross-cultural ministry right here at home. From the morning five physicists stood up to challenge a pastor mid-sermon to a scientist trying to solve the Book of Titus using advanced equations on a blackboard, he breaks down why we cannot rush the conversion process for deep thinkers. He explains how to build cultural bridges with people who think differently, why testing ideas rigorously is a biblical command, and why intellectuals often do all their discipleship work before making a public commitment.

God doesn't call us to hide our flaws or pretend we have it all together. Our weaknesses aren't barriers to His work—they're the exact places His power is made visible. When we step out in faith, our brokenness shows the world that the grace we carry is from Him, not ourselves. Send this to a friend who needs to hear this.

When election season rolls around, it's easy to look at the top of the ticket and feel completely stuck if you don't like either candidate. But Dr. Frank Turek argues that voting for a president isn't actually about choosing just one person—it’s about appointing an entire administration of roughly 5,000 bureaucrats, judges, and staff who will enforce a specific agenda. Watch how Dr. Turek breaks down why believers need to prioritize policy over personality and focus on the weightier matters of the law: youtu.be/w1pGTQ8M6rY He tackles the common myth that you can't legislate morality, confronts the cultural silence of the modern church, and introduces a series of powerful resources designed to help you navigate a secular culture, including his updated voter guide tool.

What convinced Antony Flew about God? Complex biological information requires an intelligent mind to explain its existence and organization. Leading philosophers and thinkers have abandoned atheism after recognizing the mathematical impossibility of life originating through unguided chemical processes. Intricate genetic code serves as clear empirical evidence pointing directly to an ultimate Mind behind creation. Share this reel with someone interested in science and the case for God.
