News Segment (2:00)

Topic 1) Why are there so many religions? (11:00)

Topic 2) Does the Big Bang Theory disprove God? (39:10)

I hope you're ready for part two of our series “18 questions atheists want Christians to answer”! In Today's episode, we discuss why there are so many religions if there is only one God (or gods), and I bet you haven’t heard some of the facts we uncover regarding this topic. Then, we touch on what the Big Bang Theory means for believers and atheists alike.

Points of interest:

1) Religious writings – The Bible, Quran, and Vedas.

2) Sumerians, Zoroastrianism, Judaism, Hinduism, Christianity, and Muslims.

3) The Nephilim and Flood Legends

4) Michael Heiser – The Unseen Realm

5) The Inflationary Epoch

6) Stephen Hawking, Roger Penrose, and Neil deGrasse Tyson

Meet Bruce for the 1st time! (1:55)

Proof for God? (10:30)

Why does a loving God allow evil? (37:00)

What an episode we have planned for you today! We get to meet Donald Bruce Cooper for the very first time, and then we’re starting an exciting series called “18 questions atheists want religious people to address”. We will, in no way, shape, or form, be able to hit all 18 questions in this episode, but we do get to the first two:

1) Is there proof that God exists?

2) If a good God exists, why do suffering, pain, and evil exist?

Our very first interview on the Balance of Gray! Today’s episode highlights the testimony of Andy McAfee. At the lowest point of Andy’s life, he found himself in a dark world of depression and drug addiction which led him to a fateful night where the events therein would land him in prison for nearly a decade. It was in prison that Andy would discover God’s call on his life and give him a purpose he never thought would be granted to someone society deemed “not fit for freedom.” Please tune in for this amazing testimony to see just how far God’s love reaches for us all.

Time Stamps: News Segment (2:30) - Topic (16:00)

Have you ever heard someone say, “I believe in God, just not organized
religion”? It’s a stance that many have taken. While there will always be haters, it’s also important to consider certain stigmas like this to truly understand why people feel the way they do about something. Is the church failing, or are we simply
seeing the prophetic words of Jesus come to fruition with faith and love growing cold as the wave of last days swells us into the final act? Synthetic Religion comes in many different forms, and it’s one of the repulsive reasons so many have joined in that popular mantra, “No organized religion for me!” Whether it’s an individual or an entire congregation, there’s no value or benefit in faking who we are. In today’s episode we are going to dissect this life-threatening practice so that we never have to hear those devastating words when we come face to face with Jesus, “I never knew you”. Please tune in for this very important topic.

What’s up everyone!

I didn’t plan on releasing what I’m calling a ‘Spontaneous Episode’ during launch week, but sometimes, you just have to go with it. And honestly… this one’s no joke.

This episode dives into a topic we can’t ignore—an elephant in the room when it comes to spiritual warfare. It’s short, it’s real, and I truly believe God put this on my heart to share.

Take a moment to listen—it might just change a life. And don’t forget to check in on your people. Sometimes, that simple act can make all the difference.
