Charting Evidence: A Former Atheist's Journey to Faith

About this episode

Lee Monroe shares his journey from atheism to faith, discussing the apologetics that influenced his transformation.

How do you go from a childhood in foster care believing God is imaginary, to a Christian author defending the absolute authority of Scripture? In Part 2 of my conversation with fantasy author Lee Monroe, we shift from the physical prison system to the intellectual journey of faith. Lee opens up about his difficult upbringing in foster care and his early, staunch commitment to atheism . We explore the specific apologetics that dismantled his worldview, leading us to examine the "three miracles of atheism" and the logical necessity of a Creator. Topics Discussed: Christian Testimony, Atheism vs. Christianity, Evidence-Based Faith, Apologetics, The Three Miracles of Atheism, Writing Christian Fantasy, The Discipline of Reading, Biblical Context, The Gospel Explained.
