I have really enjoyed listening to these podcasts as well as reading the titular book that J. Warner Wallace wrote. I have long believed that science and historical evidence points towards Christianity as the one true religion, but I appreciate having someone explain the evidential process so that I can help walk others through the same realization that I came to many years ago.
I Absolutely love your podcast. I happened upon it almost by chance but I believe it was the Holy Spirit and this podcast especially the identity lessons are especially life changing. Also the lessons from the gospel of John are so important
J. Warner Wallace pairs years of wisdom with a deep Christian faith to create a thoroughly thought-provoking podcast! He has challenged me to dive deeper into what I believe, and to both know Christ and to make Him known.
Whether you are a teenager on a quest for the truth, or an adult with decades of experience and education, this podcast will challenge and change you!
JWW is one of the best evidential case makers I’ve ever had the joy of learning from.
Brilliant first episode for 2026 on the subject of identity.

A thought-provoking, evidence-driven show rooted in investigative storytelling that treats biblical questions like cold cases. Across episodes, the host applies forensic reasoning to topics such as gospel authorship, the deity of Christ, the reliability of Scripture, relics and artifacts, and how technology and culture shape Christian practice. The format combines careful analysis with clear practical implications for readers and believers, often presenting a case-style approach to complex theological issues. A standout angle is the detective-turned-apologist's emphasis on cumulative evidence, accessible explanations, and the call to engage skeptics with thoughtful persuasion rather than confrontation.
