| 0:00.0 | Hey y'all and welcome to the Healthy by Heather Brown podcast, where I encourage you in healthy, |
| 0:05.4 | mind, body, and spirit through my Sunday reset. |
| 0:08.7 | Let's get into it. |
| 0:14.9 | Today's guest is someone whose story feels like a divine plot quest, an atheist journalist who |
| 0:20.2 | set out to disprove Jesus and instead |
| 0:22.9 | found him. Lee Strobel, the best-selling author of The Case for Christ, is joining us today to |
| 0:29.1 | dive deep into the evidence, the wonder, and the hope of the Christmas story through his latest |
| 0:34.0 | book, The Case for Christmas. If you've ever wrestled with doubt like me, |
| 0:38.5 | if your faith has felt more intellectual than intimate, or if you just want to experience Christmas |
| 0:43.3 | with a heart wide open to awe again, this one is for you. We're talking about what it means to |
| 0:48.5 | move from skepticism to surrender, angels and demons, why the nativity story still shakes the foundations of history |
| 0:56.0 | and how modern culture's craving for meaning points straight back to that manger in Bethlehem. |
| 1:01.7 | So grab your peppermint protein shake, get cozy by the twinkle lights, and let's explore |
| 1:05.8 | the intersection of faith, evidence, and the miracle that changed the world with Lee |
| 1:10.0 | Strobel. So I'm so pumped about talking with you today. This is kind of like a random tangent, but my husband doesn't get that, like, excited or intrigued by most of my guests. But when I told him I was interviewing you, he was like, what? He was like, as soon as your podcast is over, please send me the recording so I can listen to it a way home for. That's funny. Well, tell them high for me. |
| 1:31.3 | I will. I will. Too great. Well, I have to tell you that I listen. So, again, a side tangent, |
| 1:41.0 | but we just flew back from Greece a couple of days ago. So my brain is a little scrambled, jet lagged all the things. But on the way back, I actually, because I wanted to research, you know, more of what you've been talking about recently and what have you. So I just typed your name in Apple Podcast to see it would come up. Yeah. And your interview with Tucker Carlson came up. Oh, yeah. And I listened to the whole, I think it was like almost two-hour thing on the flight. And I was like, furiously taking notes in my phone. It was so good. That's awesome. Yeah, that was fun. Yes. So you'll have to forgive me if I do bring in like some of those type of things into our questions today because I was like, this is good stuff. |
| 2:17.6 | Yeah, yeah. |
| 2:18.6 | Lee, your story never stops inspiring me. You're an investigative journalist who set out |
| 2:25.0 | to disprove Christianity only to end up finding Jesus. So looking back now, how does it feel |
| 2:30.8 | to still be uncovering new evidence for Christ, especially as we head |
| 2:34.4 | into the Christmas season? |
