The It Makes Sense Podcast

Short 5- What is truth—and what isn’t?

In a culture that treats opinion as fact and feelings as authority, the idea of objective truth often feels outdated or even offensive. But truth hasn’t changed. Our tolerance for it has.
In this episode of It Makes Sense, we explore the nature of truth—what it is, what it is not, and why it still matters. Drawing from Scripture and the voices of thinkers across history—Augustine, Aquinas, C.S. Lewis, Francis Schaeffer, Tim Keller, George Orwell, and more—we examine how truth corresponds to reality, stands independent of opinion, and remains unbending in a shifting culture.
You’ll hear why truth doesn’t need defending—it needs believing.Why it doesn’t need reinventing—it needs obeying.And why surrendering to truth is the only path to freedom.
If you’re wrestling with relativism, cultural pressure, or questions about faith and reality, this episode will help ground you in clarity, courage, and conviction.

Short 4- Does the Big Bang eliminate the need for a Creator — or does it actually point to one?

In this episode of It Makes Sense, we take a clear-eyed look at one of the biggest assumptions in modern science: that the Big Bang explains the universe without God. Even granting the Big Bang for the sake of argument, we explore why laws of nature, fine-tuning, information, and the very ability of human minds to understand the cosmos all require something beyond matter, time, and chance.
We also address the multiverse proposal and why multiplying universes doesn’t eliminate the need for a Designer — it only magnifies it.
This episode isn’t about rejecting science. It’s about examining the foundations science itself depends on and asking the deeper question: What makes science possible in the first place?
If you’ve ever wondered whether faith and science are truly at odds, this conversation might surprise you.

Short 3- Is God an extortionist?

Does Christianity really boil down to “love God or else”?
In this episode of It Makes Sense, we take that accusation seriously—and test it. If God is truly loving, why does separation from Him carry real consequences? Is that coercion… or is it simply how reality works?
Using a simple two-room house in Antarctica, this episode explores why Scripture presents God not as someone who withholds goodness as leverage, but as the very source of love, joy, peace, and life itself. We unpack freedom, hell, common grace, and why rejecting the source of warmth naturally results in cold—not because God is cruel, but because separation has consequences.
This episode is for anyone who’s wrestled with hard questions about hell, free will, and the nature of God—and wants answers that make sense.

Short 2- Can anyone prove God exists?

It Makes Sense — How the Christian worldview makes the most sense of life and the universe.
Can anyone prove God exists? Can anyone prove He doesn’t? And what does “faith” actually mean—blind leap… or reasoned trust?
In this episode, we tackle Proof vs. Evidence and why “proof” is often the wrong category for the God question. We’ll walk through why both atheism and Christianity require faith, then lay out clear, biblical, and intellectual evidence that points to God—from the universe’s beginning and objective morality to human consciousness and the resurrection of Jesus.
We also address the atheist pushback (“I do believe in meaning and morals”) and why that instinct may actually reveal something deeper: we’re all living with borrowed capital from the reality that we’re made in God’s image.

Short Bonus-Moral Line That Shouldn't Be Crossed By Anyone

In this short but direct episode of It Makes Sense — how the Christian worldview makes the most sense of life and the universe — Danny speaks with righteous frustration about a moral line that shouldn’t be crossed by anyone, especially a President.
After President Trump responded on Truth Social to the brutal deaths of Rob Reiner and his wife, Danny reads the key quotes from the post — including: “A very sad thing happened last night in Hollywood,” “tortured and struggling, but once very talented,” “TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME,” and “driven people CRAZY by his raging obsession” — and explains why the response was morally repugnant and spiritually dangerous for Christians to excuse.
This isn’t a partisan rant. It’s a call to integrity: you can hope for policies you support while still condemning sin, hypocrisy, and the cult-like reflex to defend everything “your side” says. Because the Christian worldview doesn’t fight fire with fire — it follows the moral example of Christ.

Short #1: What if one of the easiest ways to spot a lie is simply to notice what the world applauds?

In this episode of It Makes Sense, we take a hard look at a repeating pattern throughout history: when God says one thing, the world often celebrates the exact opposite. From “be fruitful and multiply” to “follow your heart” and “live your truth,” culture has mastered the art of flipping God’s Word and calling it progress.
We trace this inversion all the way back to Genesis, unpack why popular ideas like pride, cancel culture, sexual freedom, and radical self-expression feel right but fall apart, and show how the Christian worldview consistently makes better sense of reality than the slogans of the age.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re swimming upstream as a Christian, this episode will help you understand why—and why that’s not a bad thing. Because truth doesn’t trend, but it does endure.
Listen in as we explore why the applause of the world is often a warning, not an affirmation, and how anchoring your life in God’s unchanging Word is the only way to make sense of life and the universe.

The Sham Trial in all of History

There are a couple of potential trials that may happen in our near future, but there was one that happened centuries ago that was the biggest sham trial of all time.
 
Listen to not a comparison of the accused, but rather what corrupt and vengeful authorities will do when they are filled with such rage they are willing to break their own laws to convict someone. We are talking about the trial of Jesus Christ.

Truth Exchanged for a Lie: “I am not the sex I was assigned at birth.”

Our next example of a truth that has been exchanged for a lie is the fact of binary genders vs non-binary. More specifically how misgendering could soon become a misdemeanor worthy of jail time. With those in charge of deciding what is hate speech and what isn’t, for those of us who refuse to live in an alternate reality, we may be looking at facing jail time some day. But before all of that, what are today’s implications of giving in to the self-identifying pronoun craze.

E9: IMSP Life Is Absurd Without God

Have you ever had someone tell you that God does not exist? What was your first thought? Did you stop to think what would the world actually be like if God didn’t exist? Would we even have a universe? Would human beings be unique from the rest of the organic life on planet earth or would they be just the same held to the idea of only the strong survive? Danny dives into a perspective that is difficult for human beings to understand or imagine since we have never lived in a universe without God, and if we did it wouldn’t be at all the current reality we live in today.

E8-Does Good and Evil Exist?

Does good and evil exist? You'd think that this wouldn't be a question to ask, but when you consider the possibility or entertain the claim that God does not exist who or what would be the source of good and to what would we compare evil? This episode Danny explores this question from the perspective and atheist argument that the problem of evil proves God doesn't exist. List carefully in the first of two episodes as Danny navigates the "logical" argument from atheists with the actual logic of Christianity.
