[@pembridgehouse]

Hi Sean and Lee. I am enjoying this. I am only at the 28 min mark so will have to watch the rest later.I love Lee's books and have something in common with Lee. I am married to a Lesley and she is a nurse also. It was because of her I became a Christian.Thanks heaps. That a unique South Australian saying. Blessings Geoff

Hi Geoff. Blessings!

Interviews like these are amazing! Blessings to you two brothers!

[@reason4being868]

Thank you so much for the lives and legacies you are both leading and will for our children and grandchildren.

[@solideogloria5553]

such wisdom Lee!! you nailed it on the problem of evil question question. More listening than talking.. wow! new skill get

[@mariec8417]

I have so much appreciation for Lee Strobel. And thank you Dr Sean for a great interview that got the discussion going by asking very good questions and not interrupting when Lee was answering. :-) I turned to Lee's books when I first became a "re-born again" Christian, and his Cases helped strengthen my faith. To see him now so joyful and humble and enthusiastic, I could sense the Lord very much alive in him. Thank you for such a great interview!

[@ae_pd]

A blessing to watch as always! 🙌🏻🙏🏻❤️

[@jnjf3]

I can't wait for your new book, Lee. I pre-ordered it on Audible. I may be your biggest fan,, except I absolutely love Leslie! Many blessings!

Enjoyed every moment. Thank you

I really appreciate this Sean (and Biola team, I'm assuming there's a team). The audio/video issues are minor compared to your earlier interviews. The quality is getting better. I'm looking forward to your future interviews. Many thanks.

Hi, Sean. Thanks for having Lee on. Lee absolutely puts me to shame. He's so friendly and peacable. I could never be like that. I always feel like I have an ax to grind with people - at least online. I'm also a recluse and don't really go out much. Anyways, I wish Lee all the best and hope he can see how being positive has such a good impact on people. Like I said, he puts me to shame with how warm and friendly he is. I wish I could be like that, but that's just not me.

[@albertwallace5978]

Hey brother. Never forgo fellowship with other brothers. It is not good for man to be alone! What would you say makes you recluse?

[@truecounterphobia2418]

@@albertwallace5978 You wouldn't know it, but that's kind of a loaded question for me. I couldn't talk about why I am recluse without talking about my past. Suffice it to say, it's mostly stemmed from trauma at an early age which produced fear, anxieties, and insecurities which lead to me never learning how to socialize properly from my lack of interaction with people in my early life, youth, and young adulthood. I have a lot of social anxiety and paranoia. I have a lot of insecurities due to that. In short, I do not know how to engage with people in a normal way which is why I generally avoid people. I'm a pretty cringeworthy person in all honesty. I still try and meet with my family once a week and with my pastor once a week. I also try and go to church and meet with elders at my church from time to time. I also try and be an active witness to the people at my apartment complex. But I don't really have any friends. I see some people from time to time, but I don't really have someone in my life like Lee has Matt.

I am sending you a virtual hug I don’t know your age but I can relate so much I have an amazing testimony and through sanctification it took me ten years to build up the courage and allow the Holy Spirit to move me into action and actually start testifying. Like you I experienced trauma and like you I feel I am not a good speaker and I am socially awkward, I also had the problem when encountering others who call themselves Christians yet they are hypocrites it made me angry at them and I would just rather avoid it unfortunately I meet many like that. However I had that ten years of working on it with the Lord and Holy Spirit and God revealed Jesus in the desert to me how he was tested by the devil. Today I share my testimony to any and all who would listen I want to motivate you to read Ezekiel and how God worked with him to go and speak to the Israelites He told him many wont listen and many will persecute but God wants him to be fearless and not let the words and actions effect him. My testimony is now on my KZbin channel it is long and uncomfortable and a local Christian web magazine has done an article on it I keep telling myself it isn’t about what others think or how they react but about me being obedient to the Will of God. We are not of this world and it doesn’t matter how we get treated or viewed by this world.

[@katiem9923]

all things are possible through Christ, brother. I'll pray that time will heal your wounds, and that you will be strengthened through God to find fellowship

[@albertwallace5978]

Hey! How old are you? Have you been able to find a good age group around you? Truly if they care about you, they won't cast you out for being socially awkward. Where are you by? You in the US?

[@songsgardensbyjenniferlynn3242]

I can’t wait for The Case for Heaven! I just finished The Case for Grace and it was SO good!!!! I recommend it for everyone, Christian or not. Lots of tears and God really worked in me through that book. Thank you both for sharing Christ through your lives ❤️

Lee is fantastic and 😂 😂 hilarious

[@lexnaturae6638]

Great video! It made me think -- is there a future for seeker churches?

[@joannegaribay4802]

Dr Sean.. what are your thoughts about Rick Warren.. I know you were very respectful to your guest when he brought him up; however, I have come to believe that Rick teaches a different Gospel and his book Purpose Driven Life has a lot of referrals to new age culture.. it is not based on your identity being in Christ.. saddens my heart and he and others are in my prayers.. what are your thoughts about his teachings? I believe he started well and is now far from the biblical truth? jo

[@kdietz65]

Since you guys talk about death and hell in this video, I want to say why I post counter-apologetics comments on channels like yous. It's because I think there are a lot of people out there that have their brains scrambled up by whatever religious nonsense that they've been indoctrinated with, they have doubts and questions, and they have a fear of hell, and to those people it can be very upsetting. For that reason I think it's very important to have counter-apologetics content to reach people like that to show people the other side of the arguments here, to get them to think about it and to help them embrace rational thinking so that they can escape the religious hijacking of their minds and rid themselves once and for all of the fear of hell. Of course you have the opposite perspective, so we are at a philosophical log jam. For me I have no fear of hell as I find it an irrational fear, but I do entertain the thought of hell as a thought experiment and as a metaphor. As a metaphor I think Christianity itself, with it's illogical rationalizations and flawed analyses, is a type of hell. As a thought experiment, I'd be willing to stand before God on judgement day and defend my atheistic worldview, and if need be, walk verse by verse through the entire Bible to illuminate every problem I see with it. As another thought experiment, I think, you know what would really tick me off more than going to the Christian version of hell because I didn't believe in it, it would be going to some other hell because I DID believe in Christianity. Imagine I'm a Christian and I stand before my creator on judgement day, but it's not the Yahweh/Jesus person that we think it's gonna be, it's The Flying Spaghetti Monster or some other unknown deity. And now I have to defend myself to that deity why I believed in Jesus. I can't do it, and so I have no intellectually honest choice other than an atheistic/naturalistic worldview. Luckily there are some great counter-apologetics channels out there like Paulogia, Rationality Rules, and a bunch of other ones that are doing a lot more than I can with a few scattered comments here and there. All I can do is get behind those efforts and help push.

Does anyone have the link to Evil’s testimony?

I think this is it: m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/q5a7paaGob6Hl8k

The video is so quiet even with an additional speaker added

[@ethan4048]

I really wish the good apologists would call people like lee strobal out on his garbage arguments.

èvery one need to think about death: it is the wages of sin.

Audio mistakes ruin the whole thing.

I’m having an expert help me this Friday. Hopefully that’ll fix it moving forward!

@@SeanMcDowell I didn't notice any audio problems at all, but maybe because I have no technical knowledge whatsoever so wouldn't pick up on it anyway...
