Why an Atheist Began to Pray - TBH 366
Manage episode 482021240 series 2149189
Andrew, an atheist, cried out to God, "Help me if you are real. If you are really there, please show me." God answered.
----------
Hi! Trapper Jack here. What if the voice that led you to God… wasn’t even sure God existed?
Today’s guest, Andrew, thought he was an atheist — just like his dad. Then one day, while listening to a Joe Rogan episode, he hears Canadian psychologist, Jordan Peterson. A man not preaching. Not quoting Scripture. Just speaking the truth. A truth so raw, so honest, and so needed — about suffering, about Christ, about living as if God is real — that something inside Andrew cracks open.
Peterson isn’t a pastor. He doesn’t claim to be a believer. But he points to Christ as the highest ideal. He says He’s the one to model your life after. And that kind of message — coming from someone outside the Church — somehow hit Andrew right in the soul. Because for the first time, he didn’t feel preached at… he felt invited.
So, there’s Andrew, driving down the road, praying. Not because he believes in God… but because he wants to. “God, if You’re real — show me.” That moment became the turning point of his life.
This episode is about the unexpected bridges God uses. And sometimes, He builds them with voices that don’t even know they’re echoing heaven.
