Why be Protestant? As more Christians, particularly younger generations, explore Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy, questions about church history, biblical authority, tradition, and salvation are becoming increasingly important. Is Protestant Christianity simply a rejection of Catholicism, or is there a positive biblical and historical case for being Protestant?

In this episode of Truth Changes Everything, Dr. Fred Sanders, systematic theologian and professor at Biola University's Torrey Honors College, joins us to explore what it means to be Protestant and why the distinctions between Protestantism, Catholicism, and Eastern Orthodoxy matter.

Together, they discuss whether Protestantism began with Martin Luther, the relationship between Scripture and church tradition, the meaning of sola Scriptura, and the biblical teaching of justification by grace through faith. They also consider what Protestants can learn from other Christian traditions, how to respond to criticisms of Protestant individualism and denominational division, and how Christians can navigate theological disagreements while remaining united around Jesus Christ.

Whether you're a lifelong Protestant, exploring Catholicism or Orthodoxy, or simply seeking to better understand the foundations of your faith, this conversation will help you think more deeply about what you believe and why it matters.

Conversations about sexuality, gender, and identity have changed dramatically in recent years. How can Christians understand the ideas driving these changes, and how can parents prepare their kids to think biblically about them?

Hillary Morgan Ferrer, founder and president of Mama Bear Apologetics, joins Truth Changes Everything to unpack the worldview assumptions behind our culture's understanding of sexuality and gender. She explains why Christians must understand the ideas they're responding to, why our bodies matter, and why consent alone isn't enough to determine what is good. Hillary also explores God's design for male and female and the unique harmony between the sexes.

Along the way, Hillary offers practical ways parents can help their children recognize cultural messages, think critically about gender and identity, and treat people they disagree with as individuals made in the image of God—with worth and value.

Was America founded on biblical principles? How much did Christianity and the Bible influence the Founding Fathers, the Declaration of Independence, and the ideas that shaped the United States?

As America marks its 250th anniversary, Dr. Carlos Campo, President and CEO of Museum of the Bible, joins the Truth Changes Everything podcast to explore the Bible's influence on American history, from the nation's founding to its ongoing debates about freedom, equality, human dignity, and religious liberty.

Was America founded as a Christian nation? How did biblical ideas about human nature influence the development of limited government, separation of powers, and checks and balances? And what can America's complicated history—including the use of Scripture by both defenders of slavery and abolitionists—teach Christians about faithfully engaging with politics and culture today?

Drawing on Museum of the Bible's Bible & America 250 initiative, Dr. Campo explores the relationship between Christianity, Scripture, and American history without idealizing the past or overlooking the Bible's influence.

As we reflect on America's first 250 years, discover how Christians can bring biblical truth into the public square while remembering that our ultimate allegiance belongs to Jesus and his Kingdom.
