Episode notes
Saved During The Jesus Movement
- Greg Koukl became a Christian during the 1970s Jesus movement after his brother shared the gospel with him.
- He joined a Christian community where he was discipled and that shaped his lifelong ministry.
Christianity As A Picture Of Reality
- Christianity is best presented as a coherent picture of objective reality, not merely a private belief or therapy.
- Greg Koukl argues the story's five-part arc (God, man, Jesus, cross, resurrection) reveals that coherence.
Truth Is Independent Of Belief
- Treat the Christian narrative like gravity: its truth isn't dependent on whether you believe it.
- Koukl emphasizes that if the story is true, its claims hold for everyone and carry eternal consequences.
