What are the pitfalls of gaming?

Throughout history, people have played games. But today’s “gaming” options are more abundant than any other time in history. This raises questions for many: Are there pitfalls to some games, but not others? Are there “fake” pitfalls to gaming? What about balance of time, community and cost? Should Christians participate in role-playing games?

Join the two coolest Calvary Conversations’ hosts, Drs. Timothy Hange and Joshua Paxton, as they explore and wrestle with these difficult, but very relevant, questions.

Should Christians go to college?

For a Christian young person graduating from high school, should a Christian college be the obvious next step? Should Christians go to non-Christian universities—is that ever a good idea? How does the rising cost of college factor into this question?

Join Calvary’s Timothy Hange and the Calvary Conversation’s team for a conversation on this important and practical question.

Are YOU being seduced by unbiblical ideas?

What are the most seductive ideas being embraced by Americans? This question was recently explored by the Arizona Christian University’s Christian Research Center. They then released The American Worldview Inventory 2023: A National Survey of Biblical and Competing Worldviews and The Top 10 Most Prevalent Seductive Unbiblical Ideas That Are Embraced by Americans Today. Some of these ideas may seem obviously unbiblical, but the reality is that Christians are tempted by these ideas too. Some of them sound good at first, and how they contradict the Bible is not immediately clear to all.

Join Calvary University’s Dr. Mike Dodds as he leads the Calvary Conversations team in exploring how we should respond to people who hold these unbiblical ideas, and how Christians can help each other to avoid being “seduced.”

What if an archeologist found the bones of Jesus?

According to the recent Ligonier “State of Theology” study 10% of those who self-identify as “evangelical” disagree with the statement: “Biblical accounts of the physical (bodily) resurrection of Jesus are completely accurate. This event actually occurred.”

Does it matter whether the resurrection was literal and physical? And, if it really happened, why does it matter? Join the Calvary Conversations team as they explore the significance of the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Is there anything good about gaming?

Why would the Chairmen of two Christian university departments waste their time on gaming? Shouldn’t they be studying, writing and lecturing? Shouldn’t they be discouraging their students from participating in pointless activities?

Or, is it possible there are actually some benefits to gaming? Is it possible that games could conceivably be a tool for something good?

Join Calvary University’s Dr. Joshua Paxton and Tim Hange for a discussion about their own experiences in seeing gaming through the lens of the biblical worldview.

Is it healthy for a Christian to doubt?

Is there really a God? Is the Bible really His perfect revelation? How can God be good when He allows people to suffer?

Especially when we are going through difficult things, it is common to experience doubt. Is that wrong? Is “a double-minded man unstable in all his ways”? Or is it part of a natural progression to a mature faith?

Join Calvary’s Tim Hange as he leads a discussion with the Calvary Conversations team about this important and common struggle.
