Full Episode
Lee Strobel. Welcome to the show. Thanks, Sean. Great to be with you. I'm honored to have you here.
I'm honored to be here. I watch your show and love the way you engage with your guests. So I thought, hey, that sounds like it'd be a fun experience. So I'm glad to be here.
Well, thank you. Thank you for saying that. So sorry about the wait. I get nervous for every one of these interviews. So half the time when I say I'm down there going through my outline, I'm just procrastinating. But no, seriously, though, we've been trying to get a hold of you for over a year now. And we finally got you.
And so I've just, I've been really anticipating this interview and it's just, you've been a major part in my journey to faith. And I know you don't know that, but as I'm sure you have been for millions and millions of people. And so it is truly an honor to have you here.
I appreciate it. It's been a great adventure. You know, if you told me, you know, years ago that I would end up not only being a Christian but telling other people about Jesus, I would have slammed the door in your face. I would not have anticipated this at all.
Yeah. Well, I can't wait to dive into that. So we're going to release this episode on Christmas. Probably it'll be either Christmas Eve or Christmas, but we haven't decided yet. But I've been wanting to do this, like I said, since last year. And so to have it here in time to get it edited for Christmas is... I think you're just the perfect guest. Oh, thanks.
So I want to dive into your backstory, some of the books you've written, especially Case for Christ. And I want to... I'm learning here. So I'm a very curious person. I use my curiosity in all of my interviews. And... The thing that I'm most curious about more than anything, any of the other stuff that I interview is Jesus Christ and the Bible. And so if you can help me, I would like to keep...
We're going to go into some dark places. I'm sure we're going to go into some rabbit holes, but overall, I really want to talk about who is Jesus Christ and what does he mean to you and the rest of Christianity. And so if you could- My favorite subject. Good, good. Mine too. Good, good. So, and like I said, I'm learning. I'm learning.
We all are. We all are.
