“I co-founded Wikipedia. I didn't need God. Then came Jeffrey Epstein.” - A Conversation with Lawrence Mark “Larry” Sanger (Co-Founder of Wikipedia)
About this episode
Larry Sanger discusses his journey from skepticism to faith, the ideological implications of Wikipedia, and the influence of the Epstein scandal on his beliefs.
Larry Sanger, the co-founder of Wikipedia, is today's guest with Colin, Hanna and Stephan. Join a man who helped shape the internet – and who, after decades as a convinced skeptic, found an unexpected path to faith in Jesus. How Wikipedia became a platform for an ideological agenda, why the Epstein scandal played a surprising role in his spiritual journey, and what ultimately convinced the philosopher – these are the big themes of this episode. An invitation to listen for everyone who doesn't see faith and reason as opposites!
