The Biblical Roots Podcast
This is a Bible-based, Christ-focused theology and apologetics podcast hosted by Professor R. L. Solberg. We talk theology and apologetics, test the claims of questionable teachers, and offer a range of Bible teachings, including verse-by-verse Bible studies.
Defending the Biblical Roots of Christianity is a biblically-based, Christ-centered apologetic and teaching ministry. Our mission is to create God-honoring, biblically sound content that helps believers understand Scripture and address false teachings. We do this in two ways:
1. Promoting biblical literacy and knowledge of Scripture through Bible studies and teaching Biblical Theology—the discipline that looks at the Bible as a whole and tracks God’s grand story of redemption from the OT to the NT.
2. Systematically breaking down teachings that challenge the sufficiency of Christ (2 Cor. 10:5). Our goal is to clear away myths and misconceptions about Christianity and lift high the beautiful Gospel of Jesus.

Testing Claims Against Christmas
Every time we get to the Christmas season, I'm surprised there are still people spreading unsubstantiated claims about the pagan roots of Christmas and how it’s unbiblical. Sadly, people are still falling for this foolishness. This video offers a thorough, fair, and biblical breakdown of the specific claims made by Ron Charles of Truth Unedited, whose channel is sowing seeds of confusion and untruth that are taking root in the body of Christ. Mr. Charles is representative of a large swath of people out there who hold the same or similar beliefs about Christmas. In this video, we take the opportunity to address these issues head-on.
