Why Do Christians...?

In this episode of the Why Do Christians podcast, Mark Dickey and Pastor Burt Miller tackle a huge question: Who is the Holy Spirit? Is He just a vibe, a force, or something more? They walk through Scripture from Genesis to the New Testament to show that the Holy Spirit is fully God—the third person of the Trinity—present at creation and active throughout history. You’ll hear how the Spirit worked in the Old Testament by coming upon people for specific moments, and how, under the New Covenant, He now lives in believers and stays. Mark and Burt also dig into why church history matters, why there’s no such thing as a “JV Holy Spirit,” and why the Spirit is a person to know, not a power to control. This episode sets up next week’s conversation: What does the Holy Spirit do?

In this episode of the Why Do Christians…? podcast, Mark and Burt kick off a new multi-week series all about the Holy Spirit. With Josh out sick, it’s “old school”—just the two of them in the studio, joking about creaky chairs, weird camera angles, and mysterious footprints on the footstool. From there, they dive into a huge question: why did Jesus say it’s actually better for Him to go away so the Holy Spirit could come (John 16)? Burt unpacks what that means, why the Spirit isn’t an “it” but a “He,” and why Christians miss so much when they think of the Holy Spirit as a vague force instead of a real person of the Trinity. They also tease where the series is headed—how the Holy Spirit changes hearts, empowers everyday life, speaks to believers, and shows up in the church today—and invite you to send in your questions for future episodes.

Why do Christians believe Jesus is coming back—and why don’t we know when? In this episode of Why Do Christians…?, Mark Dickey sits down with Pastor Josh Dupiche to unpack what the Bible says about Jesus’ return. They talk about why Jesus’ resurrection points to a future return, how salvation is more than just “getting saved,” and why our ultimate hope includes being made completely new—body and soul. Mark and Josh also dig into failed end‑times predictions, why God doesn’t give us a date (and how that actually protects our faith), and what it really means to “be ready” without living in fear or burnout. If you’ve ever wondered, “What’s taking so long?” or worried you might not be “good enough” when Jesus comes back, this episode is for you. Tune in for honest stories, biblical insight, and a hopeful reminder that Jesus is with us now—and coming again.

In this podcast episode, Mark, Burt, and Josh discuss reasons Christians leave their churches, weighing valid causes (theological misalignment, leadership failings, abuse, relocation) against those rooted in personal preference or immaturity (music style, hurt feelings, difficulty serving). They urge careful reflection, recommending open dialogue with leadership, forgiveness, and personal responsibility for growth. Leaving is supported when beliefs or safety are compromised, but we should still value unity, address underlying issues honestly, and remain connected to the church community whenever possible.

Mark, Burt, and Josh have a lot of fun discussing on how much of the Christmas tradition is biblically accurate versus the world’s adopted culture. They debunk nativity myths, clarify the roles of the Magi, and question whether customs like trees, gifts, and carols reflect the true message of Jesus’ birth. They also discuss Matthew 6 and the risk of idolatry, noting how good intentions can shift focus from worshipping Christ to celebrating the festivities themselves. The conversation highlights the humility and inclusivity found in the real Christmas story, emphasizing the importance of balancing fun traditions with remembering the core spiritual meaning. The group ultimately encourages enjoying seasonal customs but urges listeners to prioritize Christ and the gospel’s inclusive message.

Mark Dickey, Pastor Burt, and Pastor Josh banter about Christmas traditions, why Christians celebrate Christmas, and the historical context of Christmas in Christianity. “Early Christians didn\'t celebrate Christmas... it\'s funny to me that, early Christianity didn\'t have Christmas.” They reflect on how Christmas became central to modern faith practice, even if it wasn’t an original celebration.

Scripture tells us that Jesus was born of the virgin Mary. At face value, this is a very strange detail. Why does the virgin birth matter? What would change if Joseph was actually Jesus\' father? What if Jesus just appeared on Earth, and wasn\'t born at all? Simply put, it would change everything. Join us as we explore the importance of the virgin birth in the Bible.

Would it bother you if you went into a church that had a \"gift shop?\" Okay, maybe not a gift shop, but a bookstore? When we look at scripture, is there anything that makes stores in churches a red flag? You can bet we\'re going to talk about Jesus flipping tables in the temple, but you might be surprised what that text actually shows us. We also look at the heart (or lack thereof?) behind selling goods in churches.

What is predestination, and why do people have such a hard time with it? In this episode, Mark opens with his observation that it\'s a hard topic to discuss with others. Mostly because the conversation usually descends into condescending talk between believers. To which Pastor Burt would say, \"you can\'t believe in it, AND be a jerk about it.\" What on Earth does that mean? Find out in this weeks episode.

Mark Surprised Josh and Burt with this episode. They had no idea what we were going to talk about, and they DEFINITELY didnt expect Mark to create a Christian trivia game show.
