[PODCAST] How Does a Skeptical Philosopher Become a Christian? w/Wikipedia Co-Founder LarrySanger ​

How does someone go from co-founding one of the world’s most visited websites as an atheist to becoming a Bible-believing Christian? And what kind of evidence can shake a skeptical philosopher out of his naturalistic worldview? This week, Frank sits down with Dr. Larry Sanger, co-founder of Wikipedia, to explore the surprising path that led him back to faith in Christ. Tune in as Larry shares how his early exposure to Christianity faded during his academic journey, how his curiosity was reignited by some disturbing cultural trends, and why he began to see the Bible in a new light. During their conversation, Frank and Larry will answer questions like:

-- When and why did Larry stop believing in Christianity?
-- How did Wikipedia get started and what does it teach us about human nature?
-- What was it about the Bible that inspired Larry to read through it with a critical lens and what passages intrigued him the most?
-- How did reading the Bible in 90-days change his perspective?
-- What do skeptics and apologists often overlook in the evidence for God?
-- Why is changing someone's worldview so difficult and what's the best approach to do so?

In this episode you’ll hear about Larry's exciting new project and how his love for philosophy, a hunger for truth, and disillusionment with shallow arguments led him to reconsider the Christian worldview. From confronting evil in the world to exploring the design behind creation, Larry’s journey is both intellectual and deeply personal.
