Summary
Lee Strobel was a hard-nosed journalist and proud atheist living for pleasure—until his wife’s sudden conversion sent him on a mission to disprove Christianity once and for all. But the deeper he dug into the historical record—the eyewitnesses, the empty tomb, the early creeds—the more the evidence pointed not to myth, but to fact. In this episode, Strobel shares what shook his skepticism and how his newest book uncovers chilling accounts of angel sightings and Muslim conversions through supernatural visions—reminding us that God is constantly moving, and the unseen realm is more active than we think.
