Is God real? According to Lee Strobel, that question is Googled more than 200 times per second, making it one of the most pressing questions of our time. In this episode of the Jesus Over Everything podcast, Lisa Whittle sits down with atheist-turned-teaching-pastor and New York Times bestselling author, Lee Strobel, for a conversation rooted in his book, Is God Real? 

Strobel shares his own journey from unbelief to faith, tackles the question of suffering head-on, addresses how to talk with children or teens who are walking away from faith, and makes the case that intellectual honesty and genuine belief are not enemies. This is essential listening for every believer who has wrestled with doubt, loves someone who has, or simply wants to be equipped to have the most important conversation of our time.

What was the Acts 2 church meant to be? And how far have we drifted from it? Continuing the Summer Reset series on the Jesus Over Everything podcast, Lisa Whittle tackles a topic her own audience asked her to address: the cliques, popularity dynamics, and comfortable social circles that quietly take root in the very place designed to be their opposite. Drawing on real messages from listeners, teachings from top theologians, and a challenge rooted in Matthew 28, Lisa makes the case that playing church – surrounding ourselves with people who look, act, and think just like us – is more than a social problem. It's a spiritual one. This is a conversation for anyone who's ever felt the gap between what the church is supposed to be and what it sometimes is, and wants to close it.

What does it mean to have a biblical worldview, and why is it forming—or failing to form—by the time a child turns 13? In this episode of the Jesus Over Everything podcast, Lisa Whittle sits down with renowned researcher and author Dr. George Barna, Director of Research at the Cultural Research Center at Arizona Christian University, for a sobering look at the state of biblical worldview in America. Barna reveals that only 4% of American adults—and just 1% of teenagers—hold a true biblical worldview, and explains why parents, not pastors or programs, are the primary shapers of that worldview in a child’s earliest years. The conversation covers Barna’s landmark book Revolution, his “seven cornerstones of a biblical worldview,” the failure of topical preaching and small groups to produce real discipleship, and what one-on-one, Jesus-modeled discipleship actually requires. This episode is essential listening for parents, church leaders, and anyone who senses something is broken in how the American church makes disciples—and wants to know what to do about it.

Kicking off the first four episodes on resetting your soul, this show starts with a hard and honest question: Is comfortable Christianity even real? Lisa Whittle doesn’t think so, and she’s not afraid to say it. 

Comfort is everywhere we look; in what we wear, who we spend time with, and increasingly, how we follow Jesus. But comfort and true discipleship are rarely the same thing, and the cost of confusing the two is higher than most of us realize. If you’ve been feeling a tug on your heart to go deeper in your relationship with God – this topic is for you.
