I have recently become a fan of the messages expounded by Ravi Zacharias and his team at RZIM. Before dedicating an entire post to these messages, I thought it would be best to listen to a number of his presentations--you know, just in case he turned out to be an unblogworthy nut-job.
Quite the contrary.
As if our blog were that cool.
If you're in the mood for some rigorous mental calisthenics, I encourage you to take a listen. There are two radio broadcasts that provide extremely insightful commentary on some of the most honest and intimidating questions that, I would wager, you have asked yourself or others at some point in time.
Broadcast numero uno: Just Thinking
http://www.rzim.org/USA/Resources/Listen/JustThinking.aspx
Some of my favorites--
Absolute Truth in Relative Terms
Any of the Q and A sessions
The Relevance of the Trinity
Broadcast numero dos: Let My People Think
http://www.rzim.org/USA/Resources/Listen/LetMyPeopleThink.aspx
Some of my favorites--
The Top 5 Questions (If you don't listen to any others, I highly recommend this series)
A Fish out of Water
Divided Heart Divided Home
I will admit that I generally fast-forward through the commentary before and after these presentations, but there is certainly nothing wrong with them.
This is not an attempt to sneak some Jesus into your life, like some mothers who attempt to sneak cauliflower into their children's mashed potatoes... Nay. These links provide resources to some fantastic questions and equally fantastic and thought-provoking answers.
Lastly, an interesting excerpt if you choose to read it, it is long: http://www.rzim.org/GlobalElements/GFV/tabid/449/ArticleID/10100/CBModuleId/881/Default.aspx

Wow. This guy is great. I listened to several of the programs you mentioned and found them all to be, as you said, thought provoking. Great speaker, great ideas, wonderfully communicated. I could have spent all morning just listening to his messages.
I'm going to checkout his website in more detail. I definitely want to hear more of his messages.
Funny. Though it shouldn't be the case, when I read the name Ravi Zacharias, the last thing I expected was a Christian speaker/author. The name sounded Indian so I just assumed it would be about something else, like Hinduism. That's when I thought, "Hmm ... have Jon/Jenn converted?" :-)
BTW - I read the excerpt entitled
Is Believing in God a Psychological Crutch?
Excellent writing, well thought out, really made me think about the various ways Christians are denigrated by non-Christians. I think everyone has heard the same old "crutch" claim, but this writer's responses to Freud's arguments were great.
Interesting!!! I shall spread the word and let my friends get a listen of the clips too. ^^ Thank you.
