Who killed Jesus Christ?
Who killed Jesus Christ? Give me a long weekend and I can disprove the resurrection. Dead people don't come back to life. That just doesn't happen. I was an atheist. I lived a very immoral, drunken, profane, narcissistic, self-destructive, in many ways, kind of life. My wife comes up to me one day and gives me the worst news any atheist husband could get. She said, I've decided to become a Christian. And honestly, first word through my mind, divorce. And I used my journalism training, my legal training. It took me two years, unequivocally, that the evidence for the resurrection of Jesus Christ is so overwhelming that it compels acceptance by proof, which leaves absolutely no room for doubt.
Who is benefiting the most from seeing this divide taking place today, both theologically, politically, specifically on social media in America? Who benefits the most?
He certainly sparked something on these college campuses. He had the courage to go in. He lost his life because he did. I've been working with the FBI for the last couple of weeks because someone's trying to kill me because of the stands I take. And there was a credible threat on my life.
Did you ever think you would make it? I feel I'm supposed to take sweet victory. I know this life meant for me. Adam, what's your point? The future looks bright. A handshake is better than anything I ever signed, right here.
You are a 101? My son's right there.
I don't think I've ever said this before.
All right, Lee Strobel, great to have you here. Thank you. Wonderful to be here. We've been looking forward to having you for a long time.
What evidence convinced Lee Strobel of the resurrection?
I have an interesting story with you. Oh, yeah. Before we get into it, I think it's important for the audience to know, for those who don't, you've sold nearly 20 million copies of your books, 40-plus books. The big one being Case for Christ and Case for Church. There's a bunch of them. I know you have a new one that came out, Seeing the Supernatural, which we'll get into as well. And it's funny because two weeks ago I had Scott Galloway on. I don't know if you know who he is. Professor Scott Galloway. You know, a very good voice on the liberal side. who talks about fatherhood, very successful business guy. And while we're talking, I said, so tell me about your relationship with God and faith. He said, look, I wish I had faith.
How do social media and culture influence theological divides?
I don't. I said, well, look, normally when I talk to somebody who is either a super logical thinker and maybe their philosophy or maybe their math or maybe hardcore logic, I'll recommend two books to him, and I recommended those two books to him. I said, number one, you've got to read Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis, which, by the way, Shadowlands, phenomenal. I don't know if you've seen it or not. Great, Anthony Hopkins. I said, the second book you've got to read is Case for Christ by Lee Strobel. When I got out of the military, I was an atheist for 25 years of my life. I lived in Iran, so it's kind of tough to be a Christian when you're in Iran at war. Parents get a divorce. And then I'm doing Bible study in Pasadena every other Friday night from 6 p.m.
to 2 o'clock in the morning.
Wow.
And your stuff would come up all the time. And then that led me to studying the topics, and we're doing these Bible studies and all this stuff. Anyways. But now we are sitting down talking. I got a lot of questions for you. Yeah, that's encouraging. Yes, I got a lot of questions for you. But I want to start off with, today, a lot is going on in the world. We have the war going on. You know, data that's coming out with what churches are growing, which ones are not. You know, there are challenges when you talk to somebody about introducing them to going back to church. They'll go back to a time where there was a massive crisis at a megachurch they were a part of, where there was a big falling out. And, man, I'll never trust a church again.
I'll never trust a pastor again. I experienced that myself as well. And I know... You were part of one, and the pastor you were part of was one I used to study his stuff very closely.
