Join us in person for a Sunday service at 9:30amET at Grace Community Church located at Grace Farms (365 Lukes Wood Road New Canaan CT, 06840).
The "Give Me An Answer" ministry began as an outgrowth of the dialogues Cliffe Knechtle has had with students on various university campuses throughout the United States. These universities include the University of Maine, Harvard, MIT, University of Florida, University of Texas, University of Wisconsin, University of Minnesota, University of California Los Angeles, University of California San Diego, Berkeley, Stanford, University of Hawaii and the University of Washington. Cliffe spoke on these campuses in front of the Student Union or Library at noon for five to ten minutes. At the close of his initial remarks, he'd open up the time for questions and answers, which usually turned into a two to four hour dialogue with students. His crowd size ranged from 25 - 500 students at a time, and between classes, new students would join the discussion. This is an extremely effective way to reach a large number of university students with the Gospel of Christ.

when cliffe grabs his knees you know he's about to cook lol
😂💯
😂 facts
truth🤣
😂😂😂
lol, now I’m just waiting for him to do it
The intellect of these guys is insane. To be able to debate science, philosophy, political science and religion with PhD students in those areas of studies is just crazy. God truly blessed them with a gift.
You’re joking right ?
Those kids are completely ignorant to the philosophical arguments that defeat all of cliffes claims
This is like a genuine question, not meant to attack you, but what are these philosophical arguments which can counter him?
Amen to Cliffe and his gifts from God. God bless.
Stauart is a beast
@@jasonnoble7302 your so bothered by something you believe doesnt exist yet here you are and have commented under multiple videos saying the same thing, if we are truly fools in your perspective, why not leave us be rather than subject yourself to hearing a bunch of "fools" talk
My generation is starving for truth. I am so happy to see these students actively listening- may their hearts be softened towards You Lord.
Truth is that Christianity is impossible
@@jasonnoble7302it gives people comfort when they would otherwise hate their life😢

Probably 👍
@@jasonnoble7302 How is Christianity impossible?
@@japanese2811 because dead people don't resurrect.
Love the fact that the crowds have gotten bigger and bigger💯🙏✝️
Location matters too, he’s at Mississippi State University, in probably one of the most Christian states in the country
All praise go to God/Jesus Christ
praise god
people are curious , they gather for baskers , for an accident ; it has no bearing on what this delusional guy is ranting about🤣
@@MarilynLoveYou whos the delusional guy?
First civilized debate video I see at a college - respectful debaters and audience; no curse words, no screaming interruptions. How refreshing.
this is my school! the crowd was huge and extremely quiet. It was very powerful
@@emilybutler9156 Seems like a great environment to learn and thrive-I hope you continue to enjoy your time there! This is the kind of place I want my kids to get a college education.
Betul sekali 😎👍
My Alma mater! Mississippi State!
The crowd looks so stressed, their eyes are opening to the fact that they might have someone to answer to for their actions.
I know that’s what happened to me when I was in college. Once, I faced Christ and accepted His sacrifice for me, I was transformed from the inside -out!!
To whom, beside fellow humans, would they have to answer for their actions?
@@Theo_Skeptomai Go outside tonight and witness the sky, you will know deep down inside.
@@yungyucci3877 Wow! You're right! I never noticed that Venus appears above Mercury in the night sky. I never knew Mercury and Venus were actual deities. Thank for the info!!!
@@Theo_Skeptomai hahaha you’re welcome my friend. Understand that what I am trying to show you is the wonder of creation. I just want you to be at awe and really question your beliefs, that requires you to be in that child-like state of wonder and awe.
I thank God that He is using Cliffe and Stuart to to use logic and wisdom to counter act the polluting of these young minds! Please continue to bless their ministry.🙏
🤣
Amen!
@arohk4415 Logic and wisdom makes you laugh?
@@justin10292000 If preachers used logic, they wouldn't preach.
God tells us to reason together, it's so refreshing to really think about why we are actually here.
The lack of screeching is truly astonishing. I commend all these students.
It's as if The Holy Spirit moves through and no one is interested in interrupting or causing chaos
That's how you're expected to behave. I'm not going to reward people for the bare minimum.
Good point I didn’t even notice that. They do deserve credit
10:39 Cliffe admiring his son cooking >>>
face of a proud and satisfied father 🥺
he really got in flow tho, you can see the holy spirit aura steaming off him😂😂
Amen❤
1 Corinthians 1:17-18 For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect. For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.
Amen. He also said don't cast your pearls before swine.
But theirs so many watching and listening. So if they reach even 1 person. Then there life of preaching has been worth it
@@TheSkiddum To cast pearls before swine is to cast the Kingdom gospel to the Gentiles Read Matthew 10:5 & 6. The Gentiles are like dogs unclean and so on.
@@user-xj1fu8bd8mthat was just Jesus's order to the 12. At the time. He also said go into all the nations and preach the gospel. That is the great commission. Also, what about the rest of the New Testament, where they go to places that are not just where the Jews are?
@@user-xj1fu8bd8m read acts it’s speaks of how the gospel is for all not just the Jews the lord gives Peter a vision explaining this
@@user-xj1fu8bd8m
Your right. God separating Israel and gentiles. But what happened to Israel, when they killed and rejected their Messiah? God use the apostle Paul, to be the apostle of the gentiles.
Cliffs smile while his son was speaking was priceless. A proud father he is. 👍🏼
Like Father Like Son working together. Cliffe your the reason i came back to god. I am 15M who has autism anxiety ADD and depression. A while back, I have lost a lot of people in my life and it started to think there was not god and once I saw some of your videos through youtube shorts, I came back to god and God Bless you and your son for making these videos.
Amen, don't identify yourself by your flaws. Through my experience in life, your flaws fill with gold and become blessings. Loss is horrible, I am sorry for you, God bless you on your faith journey.
May the Lord bless you 🙏
God bless you ❤😊
Fantastic man 😊 im convinced that Jesus says "welcome back". Keep up the good work, and God bless you 🙏
I’m so very happy for you. Confess with your tongue your sins and believe in Jesus Christ with your heart and Ask for his forgiveness.
Proud of you brother
I give this guy credit for debating in his second language!
Hes south African mate his language is English 😂
You are wrong. As a Saffa myself I can hear he ia a Boertjie (Afrikaans his mother language)
@@chuckbester8430 is*? Actually you're incorrect his first language is English. He has a Facebook. Don't speak lies because of what you assume.
A new episode of ask Cliff, what gift on this Easter Monday
Us in the body of Christ do not celebrate a pagan day called Easter which is the worship of the God of fertility. We celebrate the day of resurrection. A bunny and eggs have nothing to do with the savior of the world resurrecting after he was crucified for our sins. God bless!
@@lukepowell1924 It's not the worship of the God of fertility.... it's a continuation of passover, look at the word for easter in russian for example, Пасха(paskha). Easter is not named after the english god of fertility, Eostr. Now, there was a month potentially named after said god in Germany (Eostremonath), though that's unlikely considering she was an English goddess not German. However, the holiday was named after the month, not the god. That's like saying the 4th of July is a celebration of Julius Caesar because July was named after him. The bunny and eggs came about because rabbits are out in the spring time, nothing pagan. That being said, I agree that Christians should not have an emphasis on the commercialized version of Easter.
@@grantbelanger9182 no it’s pagan. Do some more research before commenting back. Jesus has nothing to do with eggs. It is pagan along with every other holiday celebrated by the world.
@@lukepowell1924 the eggs came from lent because they would hard boil eggs and then decorate them at the end of Lent aka the beginning of Easter. Either way that didn’t start until the 16th century.
@@grantbelanger9182 lent isn’t of God either
this is probably one of their best dialogue for years i've watched them. Cliffe's son has become really good at this, and is the new generation of apologetics. He knows what the atheist are going to argue that is why its important to learn the atheist thinkers of the past and show them how morally bankrupt their stance is.
I hope these students appreciate what they witnessed. This is how education should be brought about through rigorous debate and discussion - not robotically sitting in a classroom soaking up the blathering of some PhD who is never challenged. No matter one's worldview, one must be able to defend it - not just demand that everyone accept it.
This is anything BUT a rigorous debate. Please. This is two arrogant men who provide weak evidence for their claims, cherry pick their own religious books, and are ignorant of much of the science they criticize or bypass addressing.
@@bradliiyou think these men have been prominent debaters, probably the most prominent religious debaters, because they have weak evidence? Because they cherry pick? The peele they are ARGUING with constantly cherry pick biblical verses out of context, which they get promptly corrected on. What instances do you have of your claims? I've yet to see any examples
@midwestmadman9702 I recommend you watch cliff debate Matt Dilahunty l, poor cliff couldn't use his weak arguments against Matt
@@Echo_Chamber_Interrogator I watched most of 1 of their debate just a bit ago and it wasn't Cliffe's strongest arguments I agree, but I also don't see where people get off saying Matt is just spouting facts when he's also coming from a purely emotional standpoint from what I've seen
@@midwestmadman9702 it's not up to Matt to sput facts. He is not making a claim. It is up to believers in Gods to present demonstrable evidence for their God claim
12:00 was gold, "Just have faith in [Science]!" like bro is just lying to himself because he doesnt want to be held accountable
“What you believe about life contradicts your kindness. “
The Holy Spirit was absolutely speaking through him
I am so happy Stewart has a great mentor
He is really following the footsteps of his father
Hallelujah!
When I first saw him, he was not that good. But now he is sharper that before.
Oh man oh man, this was epic, and a very good dialogue!
Stuart punches to keep his opponent’s hands up and defensive. Cliffe punches to absolutely knock his opponent out. 🤫🧏♂️
Who, exactly, are Cliffe's "opponents"?
@@Theo_Skeptomai Oh, sorry, I meant THE OPPS
@@justinhoang6086 "THE OPPS"?!?
lol 😂 - what a farse
It's appalling that one who is "logical" or "scientifically" minded can be so illogical and unscientific. The guy said he could not understand the reasoning that sense can not come from nonsense.
Edit: Just to be clear, I agree with Cliffe
Because they dont think. They have blind faith.
@@david53444yes and the sad thing is thier professors teach them that they should think for themselves without God when thier teaching to think for them
It’s appalling how you can’t see half of what they say is baloney 😂
@@david53444
Demonstrate the difference between faith in God and blind faith in something else
Well they’re learning currently I wouldn’t expect them to know there’s a lot of arguments that obliterate the evangelic claims etc, I.e the idea of enthalpy etc and how the earth came to form, what cliffe likes to do it back people into his argument and then lock them into that then forces the burden of proof and once he’s foxed to provide proof he side steps the question, it’s just plain manipulation.
I need more Pastor Cliffe outros with a message like the old videos. Or you can even give us some Stuart ones too 👀
Same... Need outro that a 5mnt sermon 😂😂❤❤
Love that
I found this channel 8 years ago and the first videos that i watch ed were 10-12 years old and I really liked the intro music and the ending
I enjoyed this. The open dialog makes it better. Colleges should encourage this.
i love the father son duo! wow so cool to see the legacy already in transition.
That student seems like such a lovely guy, it was great to see a civilized debate
this was such a stimulating conversation wow
Cliffe please come to England 🙏
Please come to Newcastle, England 🌉🏰
Please come to Brighton UK!!!
Man this was an absolute bloodbath. The Knechtles bodied this guy
You are joking? They both floundered around with utter nonsense whereas the guy pwned them.
@@Zaranathax you mad?
@@gcar1995😂😂atheists get very mad
Love your patience with this guy. It takes the Holy Spirit to be patient and calm when talking with fools and their foolish argument.
Matthew 5:22, “But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother shall be guilty before the court; and whoever says to his brother, ‘You good-for-nothing,’ shall be guilty before the supreme court; and whoever says, ‘You fool,’ shall be guilty enough to go into the fiery hell.”
Please brush up on your scripture, I highly doubt Cliffe and Stuart see this man as a fool. Quite the opposite, Cliffe at one point said “you seem like a nice guy and I like how you dialogue”. The fact that this man is engaging Christians shows he is deep down curious and has a spark for answers. I see it as Yahuah starting work in a possible convert. Please do better with people you disagree with, you never know who you may light a fire in and patience goes along way.
I called him a fool because the Bible sais that “the fool saith in their heart that there is no God”. The man in the video did everything humanly possibly to try to claim there is no God and therefore according to the Bible is a fool. Now I think we need to love and pray for him but all people who claim there is no God are fools and it isn’t a personal insult. God bless!
@@dwannas you can explain why you said it, but that’s irrelevant. The Bible claims that would classify someone as a fool yes, but the Bible tells us we are to NOT call others fools. If you can point to me a scripture that gives us the okay to call someone that I will retract my statement. The Bible can classify what makes someone a fool, that’s fine, but it clearly tells us to not call anyone it.
@@dwannas You call me a fool and it isn't a personal insult!
“I can love all people equally without believing in a God” YES. That isn’t the point. The point is that whether or not loving people is OBJECTIVELY good is wholly contingent upon whether or not God exists. Why so many people can not understand this is beyond me.
Exactly
And the scriptures are telling the truth when Jeremiah 17:9 says “the hearts of men are deceitful and above all things and desperately wicked.” The point is to recognize the subjective morality trait is desperately seeking its own per individual which can vary. But recognizing Jesus who lived the perfect and sinless life showed us the standard for which we ought to put our hope and faith in to follow Him as he tells us.
Hey !! It's been awhile. Hope all is well
@@saintpaulofyoutube4416 good and well, and yourself?
It's not that I don't understand your point, it's that I disagree with it. You see, the concept of 'objectively good' is not one that holds much meaning. I don't need it to be good so I don't need a god.
Another fantastic video. Thanks, guys!
I love how all these young people stayed to listen to the debate. It gives them so much to think about.
Please drop more often😭
The wait is killing me
Right!? but i think its better this way. gives you time to reflect on things and teach patience.
@@ArrowBringer Yeah you're right
Come to Australia Cliffe and Stuart!!!!
Good timing. At work with 1 Bluetooth in my ear. ❤
Please post more clips from your time at State! We loved having you and would love to relive more of the discussions
I graduated from MSU 3 years ago but man, I wish I could still be there to have heard y'all speak!
The fact that the crowd got bigger with the rain! A blessing to see.
I was waiting for this one! Excellent video!!
how you know that you’re a legend is when people start quoting your sayings🤩 “I. Do. Not. Know” I really enjoyed watching that part of the video😂
This was so so good! One of the best debates I’ve seen on the channel!
I just love watching these videos, thank you for making them ❤
Congrats on 500k, more blessings and prosperity. Loving the message🙏
I was waiting for this video, thank you very much
It’s feels so great to see a community with love for god thank you all even non believers. I love all of you. May god bless every single one of you. ❤ thank you men for your love of Christ and sharing your experiences involving the gospel 🙏🏻
Love you guys!!!
This is incredible! So far the best I have ever seen. Touched lots of places and gave me a lot of more knowledge
Come to Wisconsin Cliffe + Stuart, I'll come see you guys. I love your videos. Great Job!

I love this episode
Man.. Best eps in 2024 so far
One episode

Cliffe stuart and David. Beautifully give his opinion and challenge one of the other.
Politely too.
That was awesome🎉
Found you from the George Janko podcast and you're both full of so much wisdom! Thank you for what you do in sharing the Word!
Isn't this free exchange of ideas wonderful, and so much more beautiful than chaos, violence, and the destruction of school property? These people here do not agree, but they are respectfully engaging one another, and that's something worthy of admiration.
The other guy didn't sound too prepared lol
6:55 "but it's guided..."
Exactly, guided by a designer.
How could a God completely sufficient in itself have desire to create or do anything? Would that not imply a lack of or want for something? Also if time didn’t exist before the universe how would God decide to create it, when would he create it? these aren’t questions to attack your faith these are questions I’m genuinely wondering about
Ultimately to use Cliffe's language, "I do not know." Those are excellent questions, and I've thought about them myself. My understanding first is God is three-in-one, and thus there is eternal community and love within God, which as you said, self-sufficient. However, the New Testament also reveals to us that "God is love," and whatever he does is by extension love. When I had children, while not self-sufficient, I had them because I "willed" them, I "wanted" them. I think this is the simplest explanation for why the Creator wanted a "creation," because his love is creative by nature.@@cjspell1440
@cjspell1440 to answer the first question, God takes delight in the act of creation. We get that from him too, we take delight when we create something. Whether it's a baker, sculptor, or painter creating a new masterpiece, or new parents bringing a new life into the world.
The 2nd question is trickier cuz it's harder for us up comprehend that God exists outside of time. So asking questions like "when would he create it" don't really apply. There can be no "when" if there is no "time." That's not meant to be a cop-out, that's just not it is.
God always existed. God created the universe. With the creation of the universe came the creation of time.
@@maybetobygood explanation

This was a good one
I'm so thankful!
Wow that was quite the intellectual discussion. Bravo❤❤❤
i love how cliffe and stuart have the same mannerisms lol
That's Amazing ❤❤❤❤
Cliffe and Stuart compliment each other so well.
I love these new videos
Love all Cliffe's clip and his choreography, too. 😎🥰😉
I was on the fence about Jesus and God for the better part of a decade. I am 24 and for about a year and a half I have given Jesus and God an honest listen and a fair shot. As far as I am concerned it is more logical than not for their to be a god and if I am willing to believe the life and escapades of Julius Caesar with about 10 manuscripts recording it then I would be a hypocrite of the highest calibre to not believe that Jesus existed with the lower estimate of 6000 manuscripts. (There is plenty more that persuaded me but this would be an essay rather than a comment). This gentlemen in the video was who I was several years ago, I do hope that he will see that the ground he is standing on is not as solid as he thinks it is and what I thought it was.
As a scientist (Chemist), too often do people jump onto scientific hypotheses and theories as though they are gospel. Science and The Scientific Method can only observe, measure and manipulate reality. Reality isn't made in a lab.
As a footnote. No one in my family is religious and I have never be brought up in a house of faith, so the idea that someone believes in Jesus and God because they were raised that way doesn't hold much water for me.
Great post!
You might enjoy Ray Comforts book about science & the Bible. Also his evidence bible - good stuff!
@@007gracie thanks for the book recommendations, I'll look into both.
amazing. You guys have guts! love watching this
Great Segment 👍
“'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future.'” - Jeremiah 29:11.
Weird. That wasn't written to us
1:19 -- Even the theory and mechanics of quantum physics is saying that photons, the quanta energy delivered from fixed light, aka. something, does not support the idea that nothing created something, because quantum physics, especially in their wave-particles, are something, regardless of it being the building blocks or roots of atoms or energy building pieces, like electrons. In other words, the quantum realm is just zooming in further, it's not "nothing." Furthermore, we can't even know the properties of quantum physics, like position or momentum, and measure them. It is more a theory as say, this scientist would say the existence of God is a theory. So yes, it is more of a philosophical argument, because no matter how deep or small you go into science, it will never disprove a creator, in fact, quite the opposite.
Am blessed to be knowing you Cliffe.
Incredible! Brilliant minds!
A really good discussion.
I hope all listening were challenged to examine whether their own existential views hold water.
Acts 26:8
[8] Why is it thought incredible by any of you that God raises the dead?
I love watching Stuart and seeing Cliff’s body language and voice inflections come out. You KNOW he grew up watching pop talk to students like, “Dad just COOKED that guy for Christ, whoo!” Lol
I love these guys, amazing work.
The poor fellow trying his hardest to get something from nothing. Why would you want to reject God so badly?
I don't know. Before God opened my eyes I didn't try to disprove God or Jesus.
I don't think he's wanting to reject God so badly denton, he's merely making the point that quantum science may well find answers to lifes origins, the Genesis story sounds more like a fairy tale than actual fact, far better to say "we don't know but we're searching for the answer," than to say "God did it". I don't know too many people here in the UK who accept the Genesis account as fact.
@@bonnie43ukyou lack critical thinking lil bro
@@bonnie43uk You still ultimately need to answer what the origin point is.
@@david53444 no i dont david, when I die in the next few decades, the answer to the origin of life probably won't be answered by science, it may take 100 years, or even longer, not knowing the answer in no way impacts my life. I can quite happily live the rest of my life not knowing the answer to the origins of life. What matters to me is trying to live the best life I can and helping others.
Cliffe and Stuart were the ultimate apologetic tag team wrestlers. Dave, the challenger, did not stand a chance :) He buckled at the end when Nietzsche was brought up, and he was faced with the hypocrisy of his own belief system.
No, Dave showed them how to have an honest discussion, they just postured.
Please continue to do this gatherings and teaching this generations is in desperate need of the word.
Notice how fast that guy wanted to move away from the moral argument to the other arguments. That’s very telling…

Wow. Great video 💯
It's wonderful to witness a robust exploration of values in the midst of the college campus. Too bad there is so little of this taking place between professors so that students can experience the kinds of thinking that produce good and evil in the world, past and present. Kudos to the student and Cliff for tackling big questions with great energy and with great respect for each other.
Cliffe grabbing his knees is like peak Lil Wayne lighter flicking right b4 he spit
During the Drought Mixtapes and No Ceilings
I love that this guy engaged. Clearly a super intelligent guy but who utterly lacks wisdom because the culture in which he lives has so muddied his thinking. Every time he is faced with a logic bomb, his brain goes into buffering mode ... you can watch it happen in real time. He brain is not buffering to understand the truth of the matter but rather to find some loophole he can cling to as a shield against the obviousness he wants to ignore. My favourite was when he raised Krauss as a source argument about "nothing" giving rise to creation. Krauss, himself, is massively impaired on this which is why he says we need to define nothing a new way which includes something. Thus, "nothing" is really "something". Only by redefining words (universal truths) can we pretend these atheistic models are sustainable. Excellent job Knechtles!
God's wisdom and knowledge is truly amazing.
1 Corinthians 2:6-7: "We do, however, speak a message of wisdom among the mature, but not the wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing. No, we declare God’s wisdom, a mystery that has been hidden and that God destined for our glory before time began."
This verse emphasizes that true wisdom and knowledge come from God and are distinct from the worldly wisdom that is temporary and limited.
God bless this guyz you answer to many of my questions n make my faith more strong 💪 🙏
so who make the basic monocle

I have a feeling if I asked Cliffe if he believes in biblical cosmology I'd be laughed at. Some people are not meant to see the truth.
I REALLY enjoyed this dialogue! It was very entertaining.
I like how this guy is working through these issues out loud.
