    Should Christians Trust AI?

    13/05/2026 | 29 mins.
    What should Christians think about AI? Can tools like ChatGPT actually help believers, or are there spiritual dangers we need to take seriously?
    In this episode of Theology Is Fun, we explore the intersection of artificial intelligence, theology, Scripture, wisdom, and Christian discipleship. We talk about whether AI is morally neutral, how believers should use technology wisely, and why AI should never replace God’s Word, biblical meditation, or the work of the Holy Spirit.
    We also discuss:
    Can AI replace Bible study?
    Should pastors and teachers use AI?
    Is AI biased?
    How do Christians use technology without becoming dependent on it?
    What are the dangers of using AI uncritically?
    How do we pursue wisdom instead of shortcuts?

    Plus… robots playing ping pong, Buddhist AI monks, Tylenol theology, and way too many jokes along the way. 😂

    Why Jesus Called Himself the Light of the World

    06/05/2026 | 33 mins.
    In this episode of Theology Is Fun, Corey and Ben explore one of Jesus’ most powerful “I AM” statements: “I am the Light of the World.”
    What did Jesus really mean? Why does the Bible connect light with life, truth, holiness, salvation, and judgment? And why does darkness become such a dominant theme from Genesis to Revelation?
    Together we trace the theme of light and darkness through the entire storyline of Scripture — from “Let there be light” in Genesis, to the plagues of Egypt, the Day of the Lord, the prophets, the coming of Christ, the darkness at the cross, and the final glory of the New Creation where “night will be no more.”
    In this conversation:
    Why God created light and darkness
    How sin changed the meaning of darkness
    The biblical connection between darkness and judgment
    Jesus as the fulfillment of the “Light” theme in Scripture
    What it means to walk as children of light
    Why the cross was covered in darkness
    The hope of eternal light in Revelation

    📖 Key Scriptures:
    Genesis 1 • Isaiah 9 • Exodus 10 • Amos 5 • Zephaniah 1 • John 1 • John 8 • Ephesians 5 • 1 John 1 • Revelation 21–22

    The Problem With Modern Worship Songs

    29/04/2026 | 31 mins.
    In this episode of Theology Is Fun, we dive into a question that sparks a lot of conversation: why does so much modern worship music feel soft compared to the worship we see in Scripture?
    From “Warmie Jesus” theology to the powerful Song of Moses in Exodus 15, we explore how the Bible presents God not only as loving, gracious, and merciful—but also as a divine warrior who fights for His people, judges evil, and conquers His enemies.
    Why don’t churches sing more about God’s justice, wrath, and holiness? Why do older hymns often feel weightier than many modern worship songs? And what does Revelation 15 teach us about the worship we’ll one day sing before Christ the Lamb?
    This conversation moves from Exodus to Revelation, showing how salvation always comes through judgment and how Jesus wins not by worldly power—but through the cross.
    Topics Covered:
    • Modern worship music vs biblical worship
    • Exodus 15 and the Song of Moses
    • God as Warrior King
    • Why churches avoid songs about wrath and judgment
    • Jesus as the conquering King
    • Revelation 15 and the Song of the Lamb
    • Salvation through judgment
    • The theology behind worship songs

    How Do We Know the Bible Is True? (More Big Questions from Kids)

    22/04/2026 | 37 mins.
    In this episode of Theology Is Fun, Dr. Corey Abney and Dr. Ben Skaug continue answering some of the best theological questions submitted by kids—and once again, the questions are deeper than you might expect.
    The discussion explores:
    How we know the Bible is true and why Scripture is trustworthy
    What inspiration, inerrancy, and biblical authority actually mean
    Whether red-letter Bibles can sometimes be misleading
    If we’ll be able to fly in heaven—and what our glorified bodies might be like
    What age we’ll be in the new heavens and new earth
    Whether scientists ever found Jesus’ cross and why relics aren’t necessary for faith
    Why Jesus kept His scars after the resurrection
    Whether it’s ever possible to “sin for good,” including questions like Rahab’s lie and protecting others from evil

    This episode shows how simple kid questions often uncover some of the deepest theological issues—faith, authority, heaven, holiness, and how Christians think through difficult moral situations.
    If you’ve ever wondered how to explain these big biblical questions clearly and faithfully, this conversation brings both clarity and plenty of humor along the way.

    Does God Love Satan? (And More Big Questions from Kids)

    15/04/2026 | 31 mins.
    Does God Love Satan? (And More Questions from Kids)
    In this episode of Theology Is Fun, Dr. Corey Abney and Dr. Ben Skaug take on a rapid-fire lineup of theological questions—straight from kids—and discover just how deep those “simple” questions really go.
    The discussion explores:
    Who was really ruling the world when Jesus died—and how God’s sovereignty works alongside Satan’s limited authority
    Why God allowed the fall, and how even sin and suffering ultimately serve His greater purpose
    Whether God loves Satan—and the difference between general and redeeming love
    What really happened in the garden: Did Satan become a snake or possess one?
    Whether Adam and Eve are in heaven—and what sets Judas apart
    What the new heavens and new earth might be like (including… are we clothed or not?)
    Whether Jesus had a “love life” and what Scripture actually says about His humanity
    How to think about the age of the earth and the relationship between science and Scripture

    This episode highlights how children often ask the most profound questions—touching on sovereignty, sin, redemption, and the nature of God—and shows how theology shapes the way we understand everything.
    If you’ve ever wrestled with big questions about God, evil, heaven, or the Bible, this conversation brings thoughtful answers, biblical depth, and plenty of humor along the way.
