Show Notes
Devin Calhoun grew up homeless but surrounded by a family rich in love. As a young man with a passion for wrestling and philosophy, he began wrestling with life’s deepest questions and grew convinced that God didn’t exist. In college, Devin sharpened his arguments and set out to challenge anyone willing to defend Christianity.
But when a shocking family crisis turned his world upside down, the certainty he once held began to unravel. In the middle of fear, uncertainty, and unanswered questions, Devin began to wonder if the God he had spent years arguing against might actually be the one holding everything together.
