Guilt. Everyone has it. Where does this feeling come from, can it actually be good for us, and what can we do with it? Dr. Bobby Conway joins Frank from CIA 2025 to unpack his doctoral research on guilt, exploring how thinkers like Freud and Darwin tried to explain and resolve it without God, and why those attempts ultimately fall short. During their conversation, Frank and Bobby answer questions like:Why did Bobby choose to do his doctoral thesis on the topic of guilt?How can guilt be used as evidence that God exists?What does our guilt reveal about the character of God?Can sin ever be justified even if we don’t feel guilty?How has unresolved guilt fueled cancel culture?Why is secular psychology failing to fix today’s guilt-driven mental health crisis?As Greg Koukl puts it, “We feel guilty because we ARE guilty.” Frank and Bobby unpack why the Gospel offers the only real solution to guilt—and how this universal human experience points directly to the existence and nature of God. If you're burdened by the weight and consequences of your own bad decisions, pull up a chair and learn how you can find freedom through the saving grace of Jesus Christ!Resources mentioned during the episode:The Graphite Apologist - https://www.youtube.com/@TheGraphiteApologist Good God by David Baggett - https://a.co/d/gVoinMKUncomfortable Thoughts on Christians & Therapy with Josh Howerton - https://youtu.be/EPhDGcPBGrk
