In this episode of the podcast, J. Warner talks with Perry LaHaie and Shawna Beyer from Perry and Shawna Mornings about the evidential nature of Christianity and why it’s so important to present Christianity as reasonable in a world that is skeptical of religious claims.

This book teaches readers ten principles of cold-case investigations and applies these strategies to investigate the claims of the gospel authors. The book is accompanied by an eight-session Cold-Case Christianity DVD Set (and Participant’s Guide) to help individuals or small groups examine the evidence and make the case.

Thank you, J Warner, for mentioning your son Taylor in this episode. We have a 30 year old son who seemed to believe from a very young age
until about age 26. He got an applied theology degree because he thought the best way to give his life to God was full time ministry. Then he was a youth pastor for five years. But now he doubts. From what we have gathered, he’s in the second category you mentioned: he doesn’t feel it. For him, Christianity feels like work, like striving, like pressure. And he feels much more relaxed and calm without it. He’s still living a moral life and hasn’t entirely rejected God but he’s not following either. My husband and I and our daughter are incredibly sad over this. I want to talk to him about his thoughts/feelings related to God/faith but my husband and daughter think it’s best to just maintain our relationship with him. You recommended connection over correction which validates what they are telling me. It’s just SO HARD to pretend like everything is normal, everything is fine when it most definitely is not. Anyway, I’m saving this podcast to listen to when I need encouragement. So thank you!
