Today we’re joined by Jon Noyes, a former atheist turned Christian apologist with Stand to Reason, who shares his powerful story of moving from skepticism to belief. Jon reflects on what it was like to be a self-proclaimed "evangelical atheist," how Christians in his life made space for hard questions without defensiveness, and the key role that honest, consistent relationships played in his journey to faith. We explore what atheists often believe (and don’t believe), how to ask better questions instead of assuming, and how many atheists are wrestling with deeper existential questions—especially in a world marked by pain and suffering. John also discusses why understanding someone’s worldview is crucial for meaningful connection, and how the Christian story speaks uniquely to our sense of brokenness, purpose, and longing for hope. Whether you’re engaging a skeptical neighbor, or just trying to better understand those with different beliefs, this conversation is packed with wisdom, empathy, and encouragement.
