About this listen

Have you ever thought, “If God is real, why is the world like this?” You’re not alone. And if you’ve ever looked at atheism and thought, “So… we live, we die, and that’s it—what’s the point?” you’re not alone either.


Today we’re going to talk plainly, without cheap shots. What atheists often believe about life and reality, why evolution and religious harm play such a big role, and the big question that never goes away: suffering.
And I want to frame it with one old, sturdy image: God as Father.
