Welcome back to Reasonable Faith with Dr. William Lane Craig.

Hey, it's Kevin Harris. Have you heard about the Equip Project?

We're going to be talking about it. And in the meantime, you can get some information at reasonablefaith.org.

You're going to love this. And if you've been keeping up with current events here,

you know that there has been quite a storm surrounding Dr. Craig's answer to a particular question,

which dealt with whether one should raise or lower the epistemic bar when it comes to the truth of Christianity.

Dr. Craig has been busy making sure that we know all that is involved when exploring and answering that question.

And I'm sure there will be more on this from Dr. Craig in the future, so stay close.

And that's mostly due to the fact that certain very vocal opponents are convinced that they've got even a corner on this,

and they're not giving up.

So today, we're going to highlight some of the pertinent areas in past podcasts that will continue to shed light on all the fascinating layers of this question.

So back to the studio, we begin with this question from a listener.

My question is, Dr. Craig, can subjective religious experience, that is the feeling of the presence of God or an awareness of the voice of the Holy Spirit,

serve as good objective evidence showing the truth of the Christian faith?

How can religious experience be self-authenticating in the epistemic sense or in the area of knowledge, what we know?

As adheres of different world religions have different religious experience, how can we tell whose religious experience is veritable or truthful?

Now, that's probably the top on the charts that comes up.

The Mormons claim that they have a religious experience and so on, so take us through these waters.

All right.

First of all, it's very important to understand that the witness of the Holy Spirit is not just a subjective religious experience.

This is an objective reality.

It is a witness which God Himself bears with our Spirit.
