Stunned by Scripture

We have come to know more about our universe today than ever before.

But can scientists tell us why the universe exists or what it means to be human?

In this episode of Stunned by Scripture, Dr. John Bergsma and molecular biologist Dr. Daniel Kuebler, author of Darwin and Doctrine, explore the relationship between modern science and the Catholic Faith.

Together they show why the biggest questions of human existence reach beyond what science alone can answer. In this installment, you'll discover: how Catholic teaching provides a framework for understanding evolution, why science can explain mechanisms but not meaning, and why the search for truth requires both scientific inquiry and philosophical reflection.

Join Dr. Bergsma and Dr. Kuebler for this thoughtful conversation about the deeper questions of the universe.

In their conversation, you’ll discover why scientists initially resisted the Big Bang theory, why some scientific institutions refuse to discuss the possibility of intelligent design, and more.

Modern science doesn’t have to be a hindrance to faith. Deepen your appreciation for both creation and the Creator who made it in this installment of Stunned by Scripture.

Many Christians are taught that the Bible alone is sufficient and that each Christian can interpret it for themselves.

But what happens when Christians don't agree on an interpretation of Scripture?

In this episode of Stunned by Scripture, Dr. John Bergsma unpacks the truth of Jesus’ words to Peter in Matthew 16. In this breakdown, you'll learn about the importance and necessity of apostolic succession, the proper authority for interpreting Scripture, the true meaning of "binding and loosing" in Jesus' time, and more.

Using both Scripture and ancient Jewish writings, Dr. Bergsma demonstrates how Christ established a sure and authoritative voice for interpreting His Word.
