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 they 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?

From confronting evil in the world to exploring the design behind creation, Larry’s journey is both intellectual and deeply personal. If you're curious about faith, philosophy, or how one of the internet’s pioneers found truth in Scripture, be sure to read Larry's testimony on his website using the link below!
