Welcome to the Eric Mataxis show.

I'm not the announcer Todd Wilkerson, but I sound so much like him that Eric asked me to take over.

Evidently Todd was caught stealing again.

Oh, it was nothing big, just some toilet paper out of the studio bathroom, and little soaps and some poppery. But still, Eric said it was the principle of the thing. So he fired Todd's behind just like that. And now your host, Mr. Law and Order. Eric Woodtax us. But I go, we're currently under the New Covenant. We'll get back to that at another time.

Right now, I'd like to introduce a particularly special guest.

I have been trying to hunt down the great Ravi Zacharias.

For years, some of you know if you go to Socrates in the city. com i've interviewed all kinds of people there and people

always say to me have you had ravi zecharias on and the answer inevitably sadly is no because

ravi zecherias never touches down long enough in the united states where you can capture him on film

until today somehow I'm not sure,

we got him into the studio in New York City. Ravi Zacharias, welcome. Thank you, sir. What an honor

to be with you, Eric. This is like spotting the white buffalo or something, some rare beast that is never seen fabled beast.

And to have you with me in the studio, we've tried such a long time.

Now, I know, Ravi, there's so many people that they know you.

But there are many people listening right now who are saying, who's this guy?

And I thought, that's precisely why I do the program, because I have the great joy and honor of introducing folks like you to new people.

So I think of you as an apologist for the Christian faith, principally, as an author of innumerable books.

You really do travel around the world incessantly. I mean,

you really have an international life. I mean, I'm not exaggerating. But there are many people

who don't know your story, and I don't know that I've ever heard you tell your story. So I thought

before we talk about what you've got happening now, I wanted to introduce my audience to you, to Ravi the man, and to tell

your story. So tell us where you grew up, how it was you came to faith, and how it was you
