Episode Details

What do you do when you are terrified that Christianity might not be true, but you are too ashamed to tell anyone?

In this episode, Adam Lloyd Johnson (founder of Convincing Proof Ministries) opens up about the severe anxiety and panic attacks that nearly derailed his life in his twenties. Despite an insatiable appetite for studying the Bible and actively serving in his church, Adam was secretly battling intense doubts about his faith. He shares how a desperate search for the "silver bullet" of absolute certainty led him to a breaking point, and how discovering the works of Christian philosopher Francis Schaeffer finally set his mind free. We discuss the true relationship between faith and reason, why God does not demand 100% certainty, and how to find deep peace when you have questions.

If you have ever struggled with the fear of doubting your faith or felt isolated by your questions, this episode is a lifeline.
