Did Jesus really claim to be God? In this episode of DyerConversations, we uncover the truth behind one of Christianity’s most pivotal questions. I sit down with Dr. Mikel Del Rosario, Moody Bible Institute professor and author, to explore how Jesus’ words and actions reveal His divine authority. You will learn how historical evidence, including insights from Jesus’ enemies, supports His claims to divinity and shapes the theological meaning of the resurrection. Finally, I explain why understanding Jesus’ lordship is critical for faith and evangelism.Join us as we discuss key biblical passages, such as Mark 2 and Mark 14, and examine Jesus’ unique authority to forgive sins and judge the world. Whether you're a believer seeking deeper understanding or a skeptic exploring the historical Jesus, this conversation will challenge and inspire you.Don’t forget to subscribe for more thought-provoking discussions, and connect with me on social media to keep the conversation going!

When should Christians resist the government? In this episode, we explore Voddie Baucham's book "It's Not Like Being Black" and discuss how Christians can navigate cultural and political challenges while staying true to biblical principles. We examine Romans 13 and what it means to submit to governing authorities, the limits of this submission, and when resistance is justified. You’ll learn about key issues like the government's role in societal morality, the rise of secular ideologies, and the importance of speaking truth with love in the face of cultural opposition. Finally, I explain how Christians can stand firm in their faith, even in difficult circumstances, and emphasize the need for boldness, compassion, and truth in addressing topics like transgenderism, religious freedom, and moral decay. Join me as we unpack these critical questions and reflect on the deeper theological implications.Let me know your thoughts in the comments!

You will learn why Fuentes’ views on race, religion, women, and nationalism raise major red flags, and how his rhetoric poses a threat to both Christian values and American principles. I break down Fuentes’ troubling comments, his admiration for Stalin, and the logical flaws in his arguments that manipulate followers with fear and division.We will discuss Fuentes’ influence on Gen Z, his tactics to gain power, and his role in fueling racism and xenophobia under the guise of patriotism. Finally, I explain why Christians should disavow Fuentes and how his ideas conflict with biblical teachings on love, humility, and justice.Connect with me by sharing your thoughts in the comments, and check out the full playlist for more in-depth discussions.
