    E 310: Agnostics, Atheists and Area 51
    2026/06/03

    You might have found the title of today’s show a-bit weird or awkward to follow Memorial Day, but if you stick around I think it will all make sense in the end.

    I think this message was inspired by God, so I reached out to Mark and asked “what’s the difference between agnostics and atheists”, while holding back my real question.

    Agnostic Definition:

    : an agnostic quality, state, or attitude:

    : the view that any ultimate reality (such as a deity) is unknown and probably unknowable : a philosophical or religious position characterized by uncertainty about the existence of a god or any gods.

    Atheism Definition:

    : a lack of belief or a strong disbelief in the existence of a god or any gods

    :     a philosophical or religious position characterized by disbelief in the existence of a god or any gods

    Our Google AI question:

    What's the differences between agnostics and atheists?

    The core difference is that atheism is a matter of belief (not believing a god exists), while agnosticism is a matter of knowledge (believing the existence of a god is currently unknown or inherently unknowable).


    Breaking Down the Concepts

    • Atheist: Someone who does not believe in the existence of a deity or gods. An atheist can either be someone who actively believes no gods exist, or simply someone who lacks a belief in gods.
    • Agnostic: Someone who believes it is impossible to know whether a higher power exists. They conclude that the ultimate truth is currently unknown or cannot be known by humans, and therefore they neither fully believe nor disbelieve.


    It’s sounds as though regardless of what you believe or don’t believe we all share one thing in common….FAITH in what we believe or don’t believe.

    So let’s talk about Faith for a minute. According to the Bible, FAITH IS the substance of things HOPED FOR; it is the evidence of things UNSEEN. Hebrews 11:1

    Key Concepts in the Definition

    • Confidence/Substance: Faith provides a solid foundation for future hopes. It treats promised things as already real.
    • Assurance/Evidence: Faith acts as conviction regarding invisible realities. It trusts in what the physical senses cannot perceive.
    • Let's bake a cake analogy

    This verse introduces Hebrews 11, often called the "Hall of Faith," which lists biblical figures who acted strictly on their trust in God.

    In addition to the Hall of Faith there is more recent proof that God existed and exists today.

    Universes Existence

    What divides good and evil; light and dark; who drew the line between these polar forces?

    What defined or established the many religions pursued around the world?

    As different as they are, why are we all seeking truth and understanding? What drives us all to seek a higher understanding?

    The cooper scrolls

    The Dead Sea Scrolls

    The shroud of Tureen

    The lives martyred for such a belief.


    We are not against either belief or non-belief. We would simply encourage seekers of truth to latch onto something that encourages, inspires and feeds not only your soul but those around you that could benefit from a committed walk of faith, hope and passion.

  • E 308: Where's My Healing - Part 2: Why some receive healing, while others don't.

    E 308: Where's My Healing - Part 2: Why some receive healing, while others don't.
    2026/05/20
    Welcome to Part 2 of our Healing series. Our friend Dan will once again join Mark and I as we dig deeper into the mystery of physical Healing versus Spiritual Healing. Last week, Dan tee'd up the following question.At the cross, Christ gave us two options. One is salvation and the other is healing. One road salvation, is much traveled while the other road is less traveled, which is healing. God wants everyone to be saved, but does God want everyone healed? Now before we dive into today’s discussion, I need to clarify, for a loyal listener, Dans premise of what Christ offers us at the cross. This listener requested clarification. Was your guest suggesting that at the cross Jesus made two offerings, salvation or healing. Was he suggesting that it either one or the other but not both? Can you please clarify?Dear listener. It’s not one or the other…Jesus offers both. I believe the deeper understanding is this. To fully understand the gift of Salvation AND then be compelled to receive it, the heart of man must first be healed, meaning the heart must first be tenderized and surrender to the need for a redeemer, before one can fully grasp the saving grace of Salvation. So again…it’s not one or the other…it’s two gifts that the cross offers. I hope that helps clarify.Ponder this for a moment. What medical devices or tools did Jesus use to heal in his day? There were no X-ray machines, no stethoscopes, no brain scanners. No sanitized medical facilities to refer the sick to or to work out of. His healing ministry was done on road, in the square of a village and in Lazarus case, a rock quarry of tombs. In many cases he used mud and spit to heal the blind.In the New Testament, the writer recounts the story of a little girl whom is believed to be dead. The parents asked Jesus for help. When He arrived, He said she is not dead but "sleeping," and then simply spoke to the girl and said "wake up and rise." No medical aids to assist. Just the power of His words. To others he simply spoke and said “pick up your bed and go home.”Jesus healed the sick through various methods, demonstrating his power and compassion. Common methods included spoken words, physical touch, or unconventional means like mud or spitting, showing that healing resulted from divine authority rather than a specific technique. Key Methods of Healing Used by Jesus:Spoken Commands: Often, Jesus healed from a distance or with a simple word, such as when he cured the centurion's servant or commanded a paralyzed man to walk.Physical Touch: He frequently laid hands on people, such as touching the eyes of the blind, curing a woman with a fever, or touching a leper.Using Saliva and Mud: In some cases, he used saliva or made mud to place on the eyes of the blind. For instance, in John 9, he used mud and told the man to wash in the pool of Siloam.Authority Over Demons: Many healings involved casting out demons that were causing physical ailments.Healing through Faith: Jesus often highlighted that the faith of the individual brought about the healing, such as telling the woman with the issue of blood, "your faith has made you well".Key Aspects of Jesus' Healing Ministry:Compassion: The miracles were often driven by a deep pity for the suffering of the individuals.Instantaneous Healing: The cures were typically immediate, with people walking or being restored instantly.Universal Scope: He healed a wide variety of diseases, including leprosy, blindness, paralysis, and fever. From these teachings we might conclude that Jesus healed and taught others to heal based on exercising the available power from God, not from personality. The lessons he taught concerning the realm of God may well have touched the soul (the Heart) and caused a kind of awakening that actually healed the sick.Today we will discuss the role of Prayer in healing and the role of the Holy Spirit to bring healing. And lastly we will discuss the power of Faith to not only "move mountains" but to bring forth Healing.The Israelites had little to no faith when they were fleeing Pharaoh, but they did have faith in Moses.Especially when he parted the waters for their escape.Their faith was in Moses and Moses faith was in God, leading me to conclude that faith, healing or any good blessing comes from a relationship. My belief that healing, success, peace of mind or anything else comes from having a personal and intimate relationship with God. To have such an intimate relationship with God and access to the Power He provides, our Hearts need to be healed for us to surrender to the fully knowledge of God, his power and his love for us.Todays closing musical guest is Shane & Shane singing Fighting the Battle.If you have questions about any of our shows or want to reach out and suggest other topics for us to dive into, simply email us at odc22@proton.me.
