Summary

If good is God, why is there so much evil in the world? And if God wants us to trust Him and love Him, why does He stay so hidden? Those are two of the most powerful objections to Christianity. But even if you couldn't come up with answers to these questions, is that reason enough to abandon the faith and embrace a different worldview?

This week, Frank uses logic, reasoning, and modern day examples to explain that even if objections to Christianity cannot be fully answered, the evidence we do have for God far outweighs them. Or in his words, "don't let what you don't know cause you doubt what you do know." He also takes the time to address a listener question and some long-term studies coming out that reveal some staggering (but not surprising) statistics about so-called gender dysphoria in adolescents. During the episode he'll answer questions like:

What are the implications of Richard Dawkins stating that he prefers to live in a Christian society?
Were there socialists in the early church?
How do other worldviews fall short of the "rights" that so many people today are clamoring for?
What do mathematics, science, and logic teach us about theism?

All of this and more will be addressed in this timely podcast episode that combines a modern message with timeless truth!
