Thanks for joining me here at Cold Case Christianity.

I'm Jay Warner Wallace.

Okay, we've been kind of working through some principles that I talk about consistently

when I'm arguing that we should be more forensic in our beliefs.

I've written a book called Forensic Faith and the whole reason why I wrote that book was to help

believers like you and I develop a faith that is more than just a blind faith.

What we want is a faith, right, that is grounded in good

thinking skills, in good reasons, in good evidence. And we're not called to have

a blind faith, as we've talked about in prior episodes, as

Christians, because Jesus didn't ask anyone to believe blindly.

He continually demonstrated his power, his deity to people,

and then pointed back to the evidence of the miracles

to help them believe that what he was saying was actually true.

The disciples did the same thing, right?

They consistently pointed and relied upon their eyewitness testimony when making the case to others.

That's called direct evidence.
