I love listening to ex-skeptic, as the stories are always very engaging and relevant to my life and my pursuit of God. It has encouraged me and given me new things to think about.
I listen to stay encouraged to keep praying for my Atheist, Agnostic and pseudo-Christian cult family members. Fan of Nancy Pearcey (read her book years ago), and was so excited when she came on to share her journey from moral relativism to Christianity.
There is a lot of weak reasoning on display by converts. Example: Realizing that places mentioned in the Bible actually existed doesn’t prove the Bible’s reliability on all things historical. And the host is rather awkward.
Although I have enjoyed many of the episodes of eX-skeptic, Jason Holloway speaking of his faith journey was eXtra meaningful to me. Thank you.
So thankful for this podcast. I pray my friend Connor will be on something like this one day
