Understanding what the book of Genesis says about the origin of all things is foundational to understanding the Bible. If chapters 1 and 2 of Genesis are not the truth about the beginning of all things, how can we believe the rest of the scriptures? Especially when the New Testament claims that our creator is also our redeemer. Because if God is not our creator, how can he be our redeemer?

In an "evolving world," defending the Christian worldview is not easy, and many Christians lack the knowledge and confidence to mount a vigorous defense of the Bible. Unfamiliarity with God's Word and what it says about how everything came to be is not a justification for a retreat from the battlefield of ideas.

In this episode, our guest Dr. Terry Mortenson (from Answers in Genesis), will join us for an insightful discussion on how scriptures answer the many questions that a surprising number of Christians have about creation. Worldly ideas that contradict God's Word do not need to be a source of fear and confusion. The scriptures have the answers you need to have understanding and confidence in the only book that the creator of the universe authored just for us - The Bible.

About your hosts

Profile picture for Alexander Ortiz
I'm passionate about helping people remain faithful to the teachings of the Bible and the Lord Jesus Christ. My family and I began Core-Truth Media with this in mind and have worked hard to equip believers with resources and knowledge to help them become more confident in their faith and the truth of God's Word. We have seen first-hand the struggles churches face when trying to stay faithful to the Bible and Jesus Christ. We have also seen the impact a high view of scriptures and an accurate presentation of the Lord Jesus Christ can have on a church and community. It's not always a popular calling, but our mission to help open the understanding of others to the scriptures is too vital for the Kingdom of God to be dissuaded.

Hey my name is Christian! I am a born-again believer of Jesus Christ who happens to own a business alongside my wife, capturing photo & video for weddings. We were recently blessed with a beautiful daughter in February of 2022 and can't get enough of our little baby girl, Luna. I am a musician who loves writing and playing music. Two other things I enjoy most are reading and studying the Word of God (the Bible) and leading other fellow believers in worship at our church. There is nothing like a good laugh, cup of coffee in the mornings and amazing food like; Thai, Indian, Spanish and dry cereal as a snack. One future goal I'd love to accomplish is to film an original short-film.
