Worldview Legacy | The Think Institute

In this episode, Joel Settecase — apologist, pastor, and President of The Think Institute — takes us deep into one of Scripture’s most awe-inspiring truths: God’s name El Elyon — God Most High. Through Genesis 14 and Colossians 1, Joel unpacks four powerful truths about God’s supremacy and connects them directly to Jesus Christ: Why God is called El Elyon and what that means for your life today. How Jesus is revealed as the Most High in Colossians 1. The four ways Jesus displays His supremacy: Creator & Sustainer: He holds the universe together. Ruler & Blesser: He governs His people and gives life. Conqueror: He defeated our greatest enemy — death itself. Worthy of Worship: Jesus reconciles us to God and deserves our all. Why science and faith aren’t enemies — but why science depends on Jesus. How understanding El Elyon will transform your worship, your confidence, and your leadership as a Christian man. This episode isn’t just theological — it’s deeply practical. You’ll walk away with a renewed vision of who Jesus is and what it means to place Him on the throne of your life.

In this episode we explore the age-old debate of whether science is at odds with Christian faith.

It's time to investigate a seldom-explored area of the Christian worldview and philosophy. In this real conversation from the Hammer & Anvil Society, we dive deep into the controversial topic of 'holy deception' inspired by James B. Jordan's book, Primeval Saints. The discussion explores numerous biblical examples of deception used to protect the innocent and fulfill God's plan, engaging in thoughtful debate on the morality of lying within a Christian framework. Key insights, historical context, and thought-provoking questions provide a nuanced view on a complex issue.
