About this sermon
Are you a Christian mostly because you were born into a Christian culture—or because you’ve actually examined the evidence? 🤔✝️ In this message, J. Warner Wallace shows why Christianity was never meant to be “blind faith” and how the Bible itself calls us to a forensic faith: trust in Jesus because of the evidence, not in spite of it. 🧠 In this video, we talk about: • The difference between accidental Christians (inherited culture, habit, emotions) and evidential Christians (who know why the Christian story is true) • Why Scripture commands us to love God with all our mind and to examine what we believe instead of embracing “unreasoning” faith • How passages like Matthew 22, Acts 1 and 17, Jude, Romans, and 2 Timothy show that God expects us to use evidence, test claims, and become convinced before we share our faith with others • What it looked like when more than 200 college students chose to spend their evening examining the reliability of the Gospels instead of just singing—and why that counts as worship with the mind • How shifting from passive, inherited faith to forensic faith gives you confidence with your kids, your skeptical friends, and your own doubts 📘 Go deeper with “Forensic Faith” A homicide detective makes the case for a more reasonable, evidential Christian faith: 👉 Forensic Faith (J.
