Bulletproof Your Faith: Lessons from a Cold Case Detective with J. Warner Wallace

About this episode

What if the same skills that solve decades-old murders could prove the reliability of the Gospels? Cold case detective J. Warner Wallace was a committed atheist who thought Christianity was fiction—until he applied his investigative training to the New Testament. What he discovered changed everything. J. Warner Wallace, a featured cold case detective from NBC Dateline and author of the bestselling "Cold Case Christianity," shares his remarkable journey from committed atheist to Christian apologist. Wallace explains why evidential faith is like wearing a bulletproof vest in a gunfight—especially crucial for raising kids in today's increasingly hostile culture.
Key Themes:
•    How detective skills reveal biblical truth through forensic statement analysis

•    Why our culture shifted from positive to negative toward Christianity

•    The difference between "belief that" and "belief in"

•    Why parental passion about faith is more contagious than any program

This conversation will challenge how you think about faith, evidence, and raising the next generation of believers in an increasingly skeptical world.
