Welcome to DyerConversations! My father once told me, ”Be a life-long learner.” My name is Billy Dyer and I want you to take that journey with me. On my channel you will experience the journey of being a life-long learner with me by acquiring the skills to think more critically, investigate truth claims, challenge your own biases, and navigate through all the false information out there. That means we need to be able to abandon long held ideas if the evidence points to a better position. In today’s culture, speaking the truth is risky business. People like to hear what already affirms their current beliefs, not necessarily what is true. Therefore, join me in the search for truth so we can draw conclusion that are Beyond A Reasonable Doubt!! Are you disciplined enough to challenge your thinking? Hit that SUBSCRIBE button to stay up to date on all the latest DyerConversations.

Will Preaching on Abortion Help or Hurt?
Monday Mar 21, 2022
Monday Mar 21, 2022
Will preaching on abortion drive people away or help save lives? This is something most preachers have to consider when dealing with abortion sermons. We want to make sure people feel welcome at church but we also want to be faithful to God and His Word. Should we even preach on abortion or should we leave that to private conversations? In this clip, EL tells a story of when he spoke out against abortion in a sermon and how it freed a woman from the bonds of guilt and shame.

What words should be used during baptism?
Monday Feb 21, 2022
Monday Feb 21, 2022
Oftentimes I have hear people question whether they should be baptized again. They have doubts about whether they did it the right way or had the right motives. However, in February 2022 I read an article where the Catholic Church is calling INVALID anyone's baptism that was performed by a certain priest in Arizona over the past 20 years. Why would they do this? All because he used the "wrong words" while performing the baptisms. In this episode we will talk about what he did and what the New Testament says about what goes along with baptism in order to make it legitimate.

Did you know that Jesus was prophesied about by a Non-Israelite named Balaam and by Moses? In this episode I will examined the context surrounding Balaam and Balak's exchange that led Balaam to foretell about the coming Messiah and how it Jesus fulfills it. Also, we will look at the famous passage where Moses says a NEW PROPHET is coming and, again, how Jesus fulfills it.

Jesus in the Old Testament part 2; How Abraham and Judah predict Jesus
Monday Jan 31, 2022
Monday Jan 31, 2022
Did you know that Jesus is mentioned in the book of Genesis? Of course, not specifically his name but definitely details about him as the Messiah. There are two main passages in Genesis that we will look at in this video. First, the promise to Abraham in Genesis 12 gives us a major detail as to who the Messiah will be. Second, Genesis 49 explains that the Messiah will be of royal lineage. All this is fulfilled in Jesus. Find out how by watching the video.

Jesus in the Old Testament part 1; Three Ways to Understand Bible Prophecy
Monday Jan 17, 2022
Monday Jan 17, 2022
Many Christians misinterpret the Bible because they think prophecy only works in one way. But, the New Testament actually uses Old Testament prophecy in three different ways. If you do not understand how these methods work, you will misunderstand prophecy and not really know how the New Testament author is applying the text to Jesus.
In this video, I will describe how Christians misapply Old Testament passages to be about Jesus when that was never the intention of the Biblical authors. Then, we will take a look at the very first prophecy the Bible gives regarding the coming Savior!

Why Jesus Matters: A Homicide Detective Investigates Jesus
Tuesday Nov 16, 2021
Tuesday Nov 16, 2021
J. Warner Wallace is retired homicide detective and a nationally known Christian apologists, author, and speaker. His latest book "Person of Interest" investigates the person of Jesus using the same innovative approach he employs to solve real missing person murder cases. In his book he sifts through the historical data, without using the New Testament, to see whether Jesus is who he claimed to be. I thoroughly enjoyed reading the book and had a great time following up with him on this podcast so I could ask him questions about his research.

Critical Race Theory Explained with Monique Duson
Monday Oct 25, 2021
Monday Oct 25, 2021
What is Critical Race Theory. Monique Duson and I discuss CRT in this episode of DyerConversations. We show how CRT is tied to other ideologies like fat studies, gender studies, able-bodied studies, etc... We discuss how CRT teaches that minorities have a unique voice of color and whether there is any truth to that statement. Our conversation discusses whether CRT is a biblical concept and whether churches should talk about it at all or just leave it alone. Finally we ask what Christians can do to help promote real reconciliation.

Was America Built on Racism?
Tuesday Aug 17, 2021
Tuesday Aug 17, 2021
Is America systemically racist? Was America built upon racism? Critical Race Theory teaches that the very systems of America are systemically racist. CRT also pushes itself as the new civil rights movement. However, the Abolitionist and Civil Rights leaders would disagree with Critical Race Theory. Abraham Lincoln and Martin Luther King Jr. thought the founding principles of America were beautiful, just, and right. Check out this video to see how they disagree with the claims of CRT and why CRT is simply wrong about the founding of America.
