  • Do Christians and Mormons Believe in the Same God?
    13 Oct 2026

    Who Is God? Do Christians and Latter-day Saints understand God the same way?

    In this episode of The Fortify Conversation, I'm joined by Kimball Snapp, a member of the Latter-day Saint community, for a respectful discussion exploring the differences between classical theism and Mormon theology. We examine God's nature, His eternality, and what it means for God to be unchanging.

    Join us as we explore these important theological differences and why our understanding of God matters.

  • Adam, Not Apes
    8 Sep 2026


    Where did we come from? Did humans really evolve from ape-like ancestors?

    I recently sat down with Dr. Brian Thomas from the Institute for Creation Research to talk about human origins, some of the evidence commonly used to support human evolution, and why he believes the evidence points to Adam—not apes.

  • The Lazy Approach to Evangelism.
    12 Aug 2026


    What does a “lazy” approach to evangelism actually mean?

    In this conversation with Eric Hernandez, we talk about some of the most common mistakes Christians make when talking about their faith—and how we can make those conversations more natural, focused, and effective.

    We discuss how to avoid getting sidetracked, ask better questions, listen well, and most importantly, keep the main thing the main thing: the gospel.

    Evangelism doesn't have to be complicated. Sometimes, asking the right question and having a genuine conversation can open the door to something much deeper.

    Join us for The Lazy Approach to Evangelism with Eric Hernandez.
