This week on the Faith Film Fan Podcast, Alita Reynolds welcomes bestselling author and former atheist-investigative journalist Lee Strobel for a heartfelt, often humorous, and deeply honest conversation about his new Fathom Events documentary THE CASE FOR MIRACLES (in theaters Dec 15–18). They talk through why a miracle theme feels especially timely at Christmas, the film’s road-trip-style search for evidence (as Lee travels Route 66 with producer Manny Rodriguez), and the real-world stories that shaped the project—from medically documented healings and peer-reviewed research on prayer to the stunning recovery of MS patient Barbara Snyder. Just as powerfully, Alita presses into the question many people are afraid to ask—what about the times healing doesn’t happen?—and Lee responds with candor and hope, sharing how faith holds steady in mystery as well as in breakthroughs, making this episode a meaningful listen for believers, skeptics, and anyone longing for God to show up.
