I got to have a fantastic conversation with Dr. Sean McDowell. Sean is an educator and speaker, the son of evangelist Josh McDowell, and he is passionate about helping people view all areas of life through a Biblical worldview. Sean shared so many great insights about some major questions the world is asking when it comes to why faith matters.
If you’ve ever wondered how to articulate your faith or answer the questions your kids are asking about the beliefs you’ve always had but now they don’t. Or, if you’ve ever wondered what Iron Man has to do with Jesus, then trust me. This episode is for you. I’d love to hear your thoughts on this episode and some of the major faith questions you’ve been wrestling with in the comments below.

About our Guest

Always love to read and hear from Josh and Sean McDowell…excellent and thanks! Ultimately every answer and foundation of Sean’s answers (whether to a believer or non-believer) is rooted in an absolute Truth and Authority. How we address it with believer or “non” may call us to different approaches and tones but still came back to Author and Authority. Even the question and defining of freedom and other words mentioned in this podcast! Agree with Dr. McDowell that they can’t escape it but they can shift the focus of these sentiments and “truths” stated from God to man…just as the serpent did at the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil!?! Thanks again and God bless in Christ!
Thanks so much for your comment, Greg! God bless!
