The statistics show that skepticism, atheism, and agnosticism are on the rise among American adults today, along with hostility towards the Christian faith. But what if these current statistics aren't telling the whole story? Could it be that people are just as curious about God today as they've always been? It's the final podcast episode of 2023 and we're going out with a bang! This week, Frank talks with the one and only Lee Strobel about his brand-new book, 'Is God Real: Exploring the Ultimate Question of Life.' Aiming to answer today's biggest objections to God's existence (the problem of evil and divine hiddenness), Lee uses his latest book to unpack some of the best philosophical, scientific, and historical evidence for God. During their conversation, Frank and Lee will answer questions like: What makes this book unique in comparison to Lee's previous work? How has the attitude towards atheism evolved in recent decades? Why doesn't God make His existence more obvious? Which top scholars did Lee interview for the book? Why is faith in God (seemingly) on the decline in America? Which argument for God is most difficult for atheists to counter? What is the Apologetics Pyramid and how do you use it as a tool for evangelism?   As you'll hear during the episode, not a second goes by without someone (about 200 someones to be exact!) Googling the question: "Is God Real?" which leads to a digital tidal wave of information that generates more confusion than answers. On the contrary, Lee's book is an easy, yet compelling and logical explanation that pulls the apologetic cookies from the top shelf to the bottom shelf for anyone open and interested in learning more about the evidence we have for God's existence.
