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.

Critical Race Theory and Intersectionality
Wednesday Aug 04, 2021
Wednesday Aug 04, 2021
What are critical race theory and intersectionality? In this episode, I will examine quotes from CRT advocates regarding intersectionality. I will attempt to show how it does not present an accurate picture of reality and how it is self-contradictory. This episode is part of a playlist on Critical Race Theory.

What are the challenges facing Christians today?
Monday Jul 19, 2021
Monday Jul 19, 2021
What is going to be the greatest challenge facing Evangelical Christians in our current culture? I thought it might be the issue of sexuality. However, Tim makes a case that it is going to be social justice. How should the church approach social justice? Should they even be involved in it?

Is the Shroud Real
Monday Jul 05, 2021
Monday Jul 05, 2021
I've recently been getting into research regarding the Shroud of Turin. I did a podcast with expert Joe Marino and asked a lot of questions. However, in this clip I cover what I consider to be one of the strongest objections to the authenticity of the Shroud of Turin. The issue of when and where the Shroud pops up in history leaves me scratching my head on whether it is real or not.

Sunday Jun 27, 2021

Can a Christian have doubts and still believe in God? What level of confidence can we have in what we believe? Is it ok to not be sure about everything in the Bible? These are just a few questions all Christians have.

Dealing with Deconstruction
Wednesday Jun 23, 2021
Wednesday Jun 23, 2021
You may have heard of popular Christians, like Rhett and Link, Kevin Max from DC Talk, the Gungors, and Jon Steingard, deconstructing their faith. Maybe you do not even know what "deconstruction" means. If you understand it, then how do Christians respond? In this podcast episode, Tim Hull from "Dealing with Deconstruction" podcast, joins me for a great conversation about life, ministry, and following Christ. Tim works alongside of Bobby Conway "The One-Minute Apologist" and also serves on staff at Image Church near Charlotte, NC.
