In this season of Paratus, Dr. Joseph Holden and Dr. Patrick Zukeran examine the often-overlooked role of Jesus as the ultimate apologist. Drawing from their books, they explore His use of reason, evidence, and testimony to defend truth and call people to faith. Their conversation highlights how Christians today can learn from and apply Jesus’ apologetic methods to effectively engage a changing world.

Surveys show that nearly 80% of students who profess faith in Christ, abandon their faith after 4 years of college. Often, our students are not prepared for the intellectual challenges they encounter at the university. How can we prepare our students for the challenges they will face? Join Pat and his guest Micah Rogers as he shares his experience on the college campus and how the challenges on campus actually strengthen his faith in Christ on this episode of Evidence and Answers.

At 17 years old, Micah was taking his first course in college, biology. His professor stated that most Christians abandon their Christian faith after taking his biology class. However, instead of shattering his faith, Micah’s faith was strengthened by the challenges raised in the class against his Christian faith. Listen to Micah’s story and discover how we can prepare our students for the challenges of the University campus.

Well, what do you do when you find yourself in a discussion with an argumentative person or you find yourself over-matched by a professor who puts you on the spot in your college class? Listen as Pat and Stand To Reason President Greg Koukl discuss tactics you can apply when you find yourself in these situations that will allow you to engage a hostile skeptic with truth and grace and still be an effective witness for Christ.

Christian parents must be equipped to train their children in apologetics in their elementary years. Listen and Pat and Hillary Ferrer explain how parents can equip their children to defend their faith even in their elementary years.

Survey’s reveal that nearly 80 percent of students who profess Christ in high school abandon their faith after four years in college. However, teens often abandon their faith before college and even before high school. For this reason, parents need to be equipped to train their children in critical thinking, worldview, and apologetics. Listen as Pat discusses with Hillary Ferrer how parents can equip their children to overcome the challenges to their faith.

The James Ossuary has been called one of the most significant archaeological finds related to Jesus – and one of the most disputed. In this episode, we break down the evidence, the courtroom drama, and the conflicting expert analyses surrounding this ancient artifact. With insights from Dr. Joseph Holden and Dr. Patrick Zukeran, you’ll hear both sides of the debate and learn how Christians should approach uncertain discoveries. Tune in and think critically about faith and evidence.

In this episode we explore one of the most debated artifacts in biblical archaeology – the James Ossuary. Featuring Dr. Joseph Holden and Dr. Patrick Zukeran, we unpack the inscription that reads, “James, son of Joseph, brother of Jesus,” and why it has sparked global controversy. Is it authentic evidence connected to the family of Jesus, or a later forgery? Join us as we examine the science, the arguments, and the ongoing mystery.

For centuries critics claimed King David was nothing more than a legend. But a discovery known as the Tel Dan Stele stunned the archaeological world by mentioning the “House of David” just decades after his reign. On this episode, we explore the evidence that confirms David’s historical legacy. Join us as we uncover how archaeology is strengthening the case for the Bible.

Was the flood of Noah just a myth – or rooted in real history remembered across civilizations? In this episode, we explore the archaeological evidence behind ancient creation and flood accounts found in Mesopotamia and beyond. By examining the Enuma Elish and multiple flood epics, we reveal how these discoveries illuminate the biblical narrative rather than undermine it. Tune in as we connect archaeology, ancient texts, and the enduring truth of Scripture.

From Babylonian creation myths to ancient flood legends, cultures across the Near East preserved strikingly similar stories. In this episode, we investigate the archaeological discoveries behind the Epic of Gilgamesh, the Atrahasis Epic, and the Eridu Flood account. We compare these records with the biblical account of Noah and show how theology, purpose, and moral meaning set Genesis apart. Discover why these ancient tablets strengthen confidence in the historical foundation of the Bible.

What do clay tablets, ruined palaces, and ancient inscriptions have to do with your Bible? On this episode, we explore the archaeological trail left behind by Babylon and Persia, including evidence connected to Nebuchadnezzar’s conquest of Israel and Cyrus the Great’s conquest of Babylon. You’ll hear how these finds echo the biblical account of exile, conquest, and restoration – and why that matters for trusting Scripture today.

On this episode, we uncover how ancient archaeology brings the world of the Bible to life. From royal records tied to Nebuchadnezzar II to inscriptions describing the rise of Persia, the evidence paints a vivid historical picture. These discoveries don’t just tell us what happened – they show that the Bible’s story unfolds in real time, with real kings and real empires.

What do archaeology and the Bible have to say about Israel’s origins? In this episode, we explore the Merneptah Stele, the earliest known non-biblical reference to Israel, and the Balaam Inscription discovered east of the Jordan River. Together, these remarkable finds point to real people, real places, and real events described in Scripture. Tune in as we show how ancient monuments strengthen confidence in the biblical account of the Exodus and Conquest.

Did ancient Egypt record the name of Israel in stone? On this episode we examine two of the most important archaeological discoveries connected to the Exodus – the Merneptah Stele and the Balaam Inscription. These ancient texts provide powerful extrabiblical references to Israel and a biblical prophet named Balaam. Join us as we uncover what these finds reveal about the historical reality of the Exodus and Israel’s early presence in Canaan.

Were the rulers named in the Gospels real people, or merely literary figures? Using their “Four Ds” method – Discovery, Description, Dwelling, and Denotation – Dr. Joseph Holden and Dr. Patrick Zukeran evaluate the archaeological evidence connected to Herod, Pilate, and Caiaphas. The findings demonstrate that the New Testament accurately identifies historical persons, offices, and locations, strengthening confidence in the Gospel accounts.

In this episode, Dr. Joseph Holden and Dr. Patrick Zukeran examine archaeological discoveries tied to Herod the Great, Pontius Pilate, and Caiaphas. From royal palaces and fortresses to inscriptions and burial remains, they show how archaeology confirms these figures as real historical actors in the Gospel story.
