If your brain is just a swirl of atoms bumping into each other, why trust anything it tells you? That’s not a rhetorical question—it’s the fatal flaw at the heart of naturalism. In this article, I unpack the Argument from Reason, a devastating challenge to atheistic materialism famously advanced by C. S. Lewis. Drawing from Lewis, Paul Gould, and presuppositional heavyweights like Van Til and Bahnsen, I make the case that reason itself—your ability to think, reflect, and infer—only makes sense in a world created and governed by the God of Scripture. If you’ve ever wondered whether atheists can account for logic, or how to expose the internal contradiction of naturalism, this is where you begin.

Why should Christians engage in debates? Aren’t they just ego battles? In this post, Joel Settecase explains why debates are actually biblical, evangelistic, and essential. Drawing from Jesus, Paul, and Peter, he shows how apologetics isn’t about winning arguments—it’s about proclaiming Christ and calling unbelievers to repentance.

Read MoreAtheists say they trust in reason, science, and morality—but on what basis? In this article, I expose how these very tools presuppose the God of Scripture. From logic to ethics to the scientific method itself, every step rests on truths only the Christian worldview can account for. This isn’t just theology—it’s a total worldview checkmate.
Most Christian apologists are stuck playing defense—presenting evidence, fielding objections, and hoping skeptics play fair. But what if the real battle isn’t over evidence, but authority? This article unpacks why presuppositional apologetics isn’t just another method—it’s the only biblical way to expose the collapse of unbelieving worldviews and proclaim the lordship of Christ in every conversation. If you've ever felt outgunned in apologetics, it's time to stop defending and start declaring.

If you say the world is an illusion but live like it isn’t—checking for trucks before crossing the street—you’ve already disproven your own worldview. Reality won’t let you pretend forever. Only the biblical worldview is comprehensible, coherent, and corresponds to reality. That’s why it’s not Christ or reason, it’s Christ or chaos.

Can atheists account for the laws of science they rely on? In this hard-hitting article, Joel Settecase shows why every scientific experiment presupposes the God of the Bible. From fossils to falling coffee cups, discover how science only makes sense in a world created and upheld by Jesus Christ—and why atheism is standing on nothing. A must-read for Christian men who want to think biblically and defend their faith confidently.

Atheism borrows tools it can’t explain. In this debate, I challenged an agnostic atheist to account for logic, science, and morality without God—and when pressed, he had to invent universe-making aliens. This article unpacks why only the Christian worldview supplies the necessary preconditions of intelligibility—and why denying that ends in absurdity.

Can atheism account for the laws of logic? In this powerful breakdown of his debate with an atheist named Stranglewood, Joel Settecase demonstrates why logic itself demands the triune God of Scripture. Drawing from a presuppositional, Reformed framework, Joel exposes the fatal weaknesses in secular reasoning and lays out the clear, biblical foundation for truth, knowledge, and rational thought. This article isn’t a recap—it’s a rallying cry for Christians to stand firm in their worldview and challenge unbelief at its root.

Atheists often accuse Christianity of being illogical, anti-scientific, or morally backward—but to make those claims, they have to borrow from the Christian worldview itself. In this article, Joel Settecase exposes how skeptics climb into God's lap to slap Him in the face—relying on logic, morality, and science that only make sense if the Bible is true. If you've ever wanted to understand how to push back against these challenges with confidence and clarity, this one's for you.

When an agnostic tried to ground logic and knowledge in the Principle of Sufficient Reason instead of the triune God, I showed why that foundation crumbles under its own weight. Only the God of the Bible provides the necessary preconditions for intelligibility—and without Him, you’re left with floating concepts and borrowed capital. Here’s how the debate unfolded—and why presuppositional apologetics still stands undefeated.
