#344 A Beginner’s Guide to the Christian Worldview, with Greg Koukl
The Alisa Childers Podcast
Heaven, longing, and Lewis's imagery
Greg and Alisa reflect on heaven's promise, human longing, and C.S. Lewis's descriptions.
In this episode of the Alisa Childers Podcast, I’m joined by my friend and OG apologist, Greg Koukl of Stand to Reason, for what I hope will be the episode you send to a brand-new Christian who’s asking, “Where do I even start?”
In the wake of so many people coming to Christ, especially following Charlie Kirk’s death, Greg and I talk about how to help new believers understand the big story of the Bible: who God is, who we are, what’s gone wrong with the world, and how Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection make sense of all of it. Drawing from his book The Story of Reality, Greg walks us through the narrative arc of the Christian worldview using five simple words: God, man, Jesus, cross, resurrection.
We also talk about:
Why Christianity isn’t “your truth vs. my truth,” but a picture of reality
Why God’s justice and love are not in tension but perfectly meet at the cross
Heaven, hell, judgment, and why what you do with Jesus really does matter forever
Practical encouragement for new Christians: how to start reading your Bible, why you need a solid local church, and how to think about prayer when it feels hard
If you’re new to the faith, or you love someone who is, this episode is for you.
