In this episode of Worldviews, Dr. Mike Licona—New Testament scholar, apologist, and founder of Risen Jesus opens up about his lifelong struggle with doubt, his first debates with atheists like Dan Barker and Bart Ehrman, and his powerful experiences with the supernatural.

We explore how Licona approaches faith through reason, his views on inerrancy and historical evidence for the resurrection, and even a firsthand account of miraculous healing and demonic encounters.

Whether you’re a believer, skeptic, or seeker, this conversation dives deep into faith, fear, and the pursuit of truth.

Watch to the end for Licona’s thoughts on what he’d ask God if he could get a direct answer.
