The It Makes Sense Podcast

IMSP Short #15 - When Eternity Learned to Breathe

Before there was a manger, there was a promise.
In this episode, we walk through the ancient prophecies surrounding the birth of Jesus—not as disconnected predictions, but as a single, unfolding story that points to one staggering truth: God stepped out of eternity and into humanity.
This is a poetic and reflective journey through Scripture, tracing how the Incarnation was planned from the beginning—God dwelling among us, not to visit, but to rescue. From the first promise in Eden to the silence of the tomb and the victory of resurrection, this episode explores why the birth of Christ is not just a seasonal story, but the hinge of history.
If you’ve ever wondered why the Incarnation matters, why prophecy matters, or why the story of Jesus still makes sense of our broken world—this episode is for you.

IMSP Short #14 - The Date Is Debatable. The Incarnation Is Not.

Was Jesus really born on December 25?Probably not.
Does that mean Christians shouldn’t celebrate Christmas?Absolutely not.
In this episode of It Makes Sense, we explore the historical theories surrounding the date of Jesus’ birth, address the common claim that Christmas is a pagan holiday, and refocus on what actually matters—the Incarnation.
The date is debated.The miracle is not.
A thoughtful, grounded reflection on history, theology, and why the Church has always celebrated the birth of Christ anyway.

IMSP Short #13 - New Atheism: Same Old Unbelief, New Packaging

New Atheism wasn’t “new” because it finally proved God doesn’t exist—it was “new” because it rebranded unbelief as bold, modern, and intellectually superior. In this episode, I break down the difference between old atheism and the New Atheist movement, why it exploded through confidence, mockery, and internet-era marketing, and why that wave is now fading. Even Richard Dawkins has admitted he’s a “cultural Christian” and has expressed sadness at the decline of cathedrals and churches in the UK. So what happens when a movement wins the spotlight but loses the soul of what it tried to replace?

IMSP #12 - The Conductor Who Orchestrated His Own Death

In this episode of It Makes Sense (How the Christian worldview makes the most sense of life and the universe), we step into the tension of John 13—the Last Supper—where Jesus calmly announces a betrayer, hands Judas the dipped morsel, and sets the next events in motion with one haunting line: “What you are going to do, do quickly.” We’ll explore how Judas is responsible, Satan is active, and yet Jesus remains completely in control—speaking only when necessary, moving the timeline forward, and even predicting Peter’s denial in the same chapter. The cross wasn’t a tragic accident or a plan gone sideways. It was a deliberate mission led by the Savior who chose the hour, walked to the altar, and finished the work.

IMSP Short #11 - When Disagreement Is Weaponized

The Church has always disagreed—but today, secondary and tertiary theological differences are increasingly being weaponized to divide believers.
In this longer-form episode of It Makes Sense, Danny Tippit examines how fear-driven discernment, public theological pile-ons, and misplaced authority are fracturing Christian unity. With a careful exegetical look at Romans 14, this episode clarifies what Scripture actually says about judgment, conscience, and Christ’s lordship over His people.
This is not a call for unity at all costs—and it’s not a dismissal of truth.It’s a call for biblical maturity, rightly ordered authority, and charity rooted in the gospel.
If the enemy can’t stop the Church from preaching Christ, he’ll try to stop the Church from trusting one another.

IMSP #10 - Is God waiting on you?

We say we’re waiting on God all the time—waiting for clarity, direction, or the next sign. But what if God has already spoken, and the waiting is actually on us? In this episode of It Makes Sense, we explore how distraction, fear, and comfort can disguise procrastination as patience—and how obedience often comes before clarity.
If you enjoy thoughtful, honest reflections on faith and the Christian worldview, this episode is for you.

IMSP Short #9 - God Isn't Fair

Is God unfair?
That accusation shows up everywhere—especially in moments of pain, loss, or comparison. But what if the problem isn’t God’s justice… it’s our definition of fairness?
In this short teaching, we explore why God does not operate by human standards of fairness—and why that’s actually good news. From the workers in the vineyard to the thief on the cross, Scripture shows us a God who is not governed by comparison, emotion, or equal outcomes, but by truth, justice, grace, and redemption.
If God were fair, no one would be saved.If God were fair, grace wouldn’t exist.
This episode reframes a common objection and points us back to the cross—the ultimate proof that God is not fair, but perfectly objective.
A thoughtful, Scripture-grounded reflection on justice, mercy, and why God’s ways are better than fair.

Short 8- If the Bible Is Just a Fairy Tale, Why Is Everyone Trying to Erase It?

If the Bible is nothing more than a fairy tale, why has it been banned, burned, censored, and erased throughout history?
In this episode of It Makes Sense, we explore the strange irony of why governments, atheistic systems, and other religions continue to resist a book they claim is meaningless. Fairy tales don’t threaten power—but truth does.
From authoritarian regimes to modern secular culture, the Bible has always challenged ultimate authority, exposed human pride, and placed moral limits on power. That’s why it’s never simply ignored—it’s opposed.
This episode isn’t about blind faith. It’s about asking an honest question the modern world avoids:Why does a powerless book keep making powerful enemies?
It Makes Sense is the podcast where we explore how the Christian worldview makes the most sense of life and the universe.

Short 7- What if the Church’s most beautiful theology wasn’t written in books—but built into windows?

In this episode of It Makes Sense, we explore the forgotten meaning of stained-glass windows and how they were designed to teach the gospel through light. From the intentional breaking and restoring of glass to the way a single, unchanging light reveals the story, this metaphor leads us straight to the cross.
The crucifixion isn’t many lights competing for meaning—it’s one Light shining through brokenness.
This episode reflects on suffering, redemption, unity in the body of Christ, and what it means to be positioned where Christ’s light can actually shine through us. Thoughtful, reverent, and quietly challenging, it’s an invitation to see the cross—and yourself—through a clearer lens.
It Makes Sense explores how the Christian worldview makes the most sense of life and the universe.

Short 6- Ancient civilizations devoted their lives to studying the stars.

Ancient civilizations devoted their lives to studying the stars. They mapped the heavens, tracked the planets, and believed the sky governed fate, kingship, and history. But in their devotion to the creation, they missed the Creator.
In this episode of It Makes Sense, we explore why the ancient world became obsessed with the heavens, how star-worship shaped entire empires, and how the Bible offers a radically different vision of reality. Scripture reveals the Creator of the universe not through the stars, but through His Word, through the nation of Israel, and ultimately through Jesus Christ.
This worldview didn’t just challenge pagan belief—it transformed history, even reshaping the Roman Empire itself.
If you enjoy thoughtful conversations at the intersection of faith, history, and big questions, this episode is for you.
