Hour 1: Sharing Our Faith With Atheists
“How come you still believe?” That’s the most common question Justin Brierley has been asked over the years of presenting his faith debate radio show, on the largest Christian broadcasting network in the U.K. Gleaning from hundreds of conversations with atheists and Christians, skeptics and believers, he will make his case for faith. Having heard the objections and evidence from the world's leading thinkers, he will show why he believes Christianity remains the best explanation of life, the universe... and everything.
Hour 2: Stockholm Syndrome Christianity
What if American culture isn’t collapsing because of crusading secularists? What if it’s failing because many leading Christians identify more with secular elites than with their fellow believers? Those are the provocative questions posed by our guest, Dr. John West, in his new book. Stockholm Syndrome Christianity, which exposes how influential Christian leaders are siding with their anti-Christian cultural captors on everything from biblical authority and science to sex, race, and religious liberty. Going beyond critique, Dr. West will identify root causes and—most crucially—offers practical tips and strategies you can use to help your family, church, and community stand for truth.
