The Analytical Preacher - Bible Discussions For The Modern World
The Bible provides a way to validate that it is the true word of God and offers compelling answers and insights to living in our modern world. Dr. Daniell explores current topics with a rational, objective approach, providing enlightening and sometimes surprising answers from the scriptures. Each episode provides the biblical view of the subject in question along with explanations for those conclusions. Andy is the author of the book Clear Vision: How The Bible Teaches Us To View The World. He has been interviewed by World Christian Broadcasting about his book and been a guest on the On Faith’s Edge radio program. He has written religious articles for The Christian Standard magazine, The Christian Post and The Atlanta Journal.

Those who offered to pray after a recent national tragedy have been criticized by some who have commented that we should "do something instead of just praying about it". Obviously, this intentionally overlooks the point that the two are not mutually exclusive and many who pray are also active in numerous other ways in society. So, then, why the criticism of prayer and which is more important - efforts to improve public sa...
What does the Bible mean by the warning 'bad company corrupts good morals'? Does this impact the church we should attend? And how does it influence our witnessing to the non-believing world?
In this podcast we cover three important but perhaps too often overlooked aspects of raising Christian Children. #Christian #Christianparents #Christianchildren #Raisingchildren
A number of parents have expressed confusion and concern over Proverbs 22:6. They feel as though they trained up their child to be a Christian yet as an adult, that child has departed from the faith. In this podcast we examine this Proverb to see what is means and how we are to apply it to our lives.
Though there are a number of descriptors of God in scripture, what most of us mean when we ask "what is God like?" is can I know Him personally, can I have a relationship with God? The answer is a resounding yes and we understand that because of the picture the Bible paints for us of Jesus. In this podcast we break down the Bible verses that help us understand what God is like and discover we can have a meaningful relat...
The Twenty Third Psalm is known as one of the most beautiful pieces of scripture in the entire Bible. But what if it is even more beautiful and powerful than we realize? In this podcast, we look at the Psalm in the context of the Psalms that come immediately before and after it and that allows us to see it in a more intriguing light.
In answering any question about our faith, we want to first turn to the Bible and see what the scriptures say. This helps to provide us with a more comprehensive answer than we might pull from our memory or common anecdotes. Answering the question of why did Jesus come to earth from the scriptures also helps us to keep our answer from becoming overly focused on the human point of view.
The Good News of the Gospel is required because the bad news related to our judgment before God is that He requires consistent perfection from us. One rebellious sin, any breaches by us of God's moral code brings the sentence of spiritual death and eternal separation from our Creator. But scripture says the Good News of the Gospel is that God is both just and the justifier. In this podcast, we examine this topic and explain...
It is common to question whether humans need the teachings of the Bible to truly understand what is morally good versus evil. Stated differently: do we need to rely on the Judeo-Christian ethics of scripture or can we - using our rational and logical minds - objectively determine what is right and wrong without the structure of religion? In this podcast, we look at this question from the viewpoint of scripture itself as well as fro...
I have heard people challenge Christianity saying they can't justify belief in something based on a blind faith. Going further still, I have had individuals tell me that as they understand it, Christian faith requires one to believe facts that have been proven untrue or things that are simply logically and rationally impossible. In fact, neither of those concerns are accurate. In this podcast, I discuss what faith means and ex...
With so many religions and each with their own set of scripture, why would one choose the Bible and Christianity? In this podcast we cover a number of different reasons for why the Bible is the clear and unique choice when it comes to sacred literature.
The account of the thief's interaction with Jesus on the cross was included in the Gospel of Luke for a reason. But what is the lesson we are to take from that brief interaction? In this podcast, we discuss what lessons should and which lessons should not be taken from that section of scripture. One of the main conclusions is that we can never get too far from God to return to Him through Christ and it is never too late to mak...
Though we are not all called to be preachers or missionaries in another country, the Bible does directly state that we are all witnesses or ambassadors for Christ. But how does one go about being such a witness? As we discuss in this podcast, it is centered on the fact that in Christ, we are a new creation. And the change in us and the difference in how we choose to live our lives is the platform for our witness, not our Bible know...
Should I give to my local church? Is there are a certain dollar amount or a minimum percentage of our income we must give in order to be Christians? Should we view giving to a local church or a foreign mission as one of the costs of being a believer or as an unbelievable opportunity to invest in God's Kingdom? In this podcast we explore the key scriptures that answer these questions.
What is the purpose of your life? In general, does human life have a meaning? As with all the pressing questions we ask ourselves, the Bible provides the clearest and most straightforward answer to questions such as these. In this podcast, we look at the specific Bible verses that address this issue. #biblicalworldview #purposeoflife
Understanding how the Bible defines human nature and explains the role God ordained for governments, how would one with a biblical worldview seek to guide domestic fiscal policy? In this podcast, we discuss businesses, education vouchers, private unions, tax breaks and subsidies for corporations and the wealthy. And all through the lens of scripture. #biblicalworldview #bibleandculture #bibleandpolitics #bibleandcapitalism
Should government policy focus on providing an equality of opportunity or work to ensure the equity of equal outcomes? More accurately, where should each standard be applied and why? And why do politicians focus so much attention on financial metrics? In this podcast, we answer these questions from a biblical standpoint and suggest more impactful measures than just those enlisting financial outcomes. #Bibleandculture #Bibleandpolit...
What direction does the worldview provided by the Bible give us in terms of how societies should best structure their economic systems? Related to this topic is capitalism, as so many people claim, an immoral system which should be rejected by believers? And while all agree that communism has been a failure, how did Christians know communism was going to fail from the beginning? We cover all of that and more in this podcast. #bibl...
What does the Bible teach us in regards to how believers should interact with a government that is non Christian? Scripture is very clear in its answer to this question and provides detailed steps for which every follower of God is responsible. In this podcast, we read and explain each of those scriptures. #biblicalworldview #bibleandculture #bibleandpolitics #bibleanddemocracy
Does seeing the world through a biblical lens cause a Christian to support or oppose democracy as a form of government? Does it cause us to support or oppose federalism, where different levels of government (national, state and local) work within different areas of responsibility? In this podcast, we provide an answer along with the biblical justification for that answer. #biblicalworldview #bibleandculture #bibleandpolitics #bib...
