OM DENNE EPISODE
Can a mind committed to rigorous logic and historical evidence genuinely embrace faith in Jesus Christ?
On this episode of the Charting Life Podcast, I talk with author and Christian apologist Dr. David Shapiro to explore the intersection of science, faith, and history. Raised in an insulated Orthodox Jewish community, Dr. Shapiro spent over a decade as an atheist before an intense intellectual investigation into the archaeological and historical evidence for the Bible completely shifted his worldview.
Because the unexamined life is not worth living, we slow down to look at the overlooked parts of this debate. We unpack Dr. Shapiro's journey from atheism to defending the resurrection and why true apologetics must always be rooted in love rather than winning intellectual arguments.
If you are looking for intellectual rigor paired with honest conversations about human flourishing, this episode is an essential guide to a life well lived.
What We Discuss: • Leaving Orthodox Judaism and the drift into atheism • Using distractions to run from silence • Why science explains the mechanics, but faith explains the meaning • The historical and archaeological proof for the resurrection of Jesus • Why defending your faith must prioritize compassion over debate
