In the final episode of our "Reasons to Believe" series, we sit down with Ken Samples, a philosopher and theologian who is dedicated to helping people grasp the reasonableness and relevance of Christianity's truth claims.

As the senior research scholar at Reasons to Believe and the author of multiple books, Ken brings a wealth of knowledge and passion to our discussion of how faith and science intersect.

Ken begins by explaining what it means to be both a philosopher and theologian, offering a glimpse into his daily work and how these roles intersect in his mission to explore and explain the depths of Christian doctrine. His dedication to demonstrating the logical and practical aspects of Christianity is evident as he delves into what he means by the "reasonableness" and "relevance" of faith.

For those who are skeptical or feel "too smart" to believe in God, Ken offers a thoughtful and inviting approach to starting conversations about faith. He shares some of the meeting points where faith and science intersect in ways that can be easier for non-believers to grasp.

We also explore Kenneth's views on central Christian doctrines such as the Trinity, the incarnation, and the atonement, and how these concepts are compatible with reason. His explanations are tailored for those who might be skeptical but genuinely want to believe.

He also shares his insights on how seekers can differentiate truth from hearsay, indoctrination, or false teachings, emphasizing the importance of critical thinking and discernment in the pursuit of truth.

Finally, we discuss how science and scripture align in Kenneth’s view, with specific references to scriptures that have profoundly impacted his beliefs and understanding. His thoughtful and well-reasoned approach provides a compelling case for the harmony between faith and science.

Join us for a thought-provoking conversation with Ken Samples, as we explore the deep connections between reason, faith, and the quest for truth in the final episode of our "Reasons to Believe" series.
