A TRUE Story That Will Change Your Life Forever with Greg Koukl

Why is the world the way it is? Why are we here and how does the whole story of history—from the very beginning to the very end—fit together in a way that makes sense?

Frank sits down with Greg Koukl, CIA 2025 Instructor and president of Stand to Reason, to talk about his classic and bestselling book, 'The Story of Reality: How the World Began, How It Ends, and Everything Important That Happens in Between'. Think of it as a beginner-friendly guide to both systematic theology and apologetics, showing readers how God’s story of creation, fall, redemption, and restoration explains everything we see in the world today. Tune in as Frank and Greg answer questions like:

-- What is it that some Christians don't fully understand about their worldview?
-- What are the problems associated with the atheist's story?
-- What makes Christianity different from every other religion?
-- Does evil disprove God? Or does it point to His existence?
-- Is consciousness just an illusion?
-- Why is Jesus the only solution to humanity’s biggest problem?
-- What are the five essential elements that form the narrative backbone of the Christian story?
-- Why is the personal God of Christianity the best explanation for the world as we know it?

Biblical Christianity is more than just another religion. It’s more than just a personal relationship with God or a source of moral teaching. Christianity is a picture of reality. Consider this an invitation to hear a story that explains the world in a way that nothing else will. A TRUE story that will change your life forever!
