Does Science Point to God? Faith, Evidence, and Reality w/ Rodger Price

Does science lead us away from God—or toward him? In this episode of the Truth Changes Everything podcast, Rodger Price shares how a lifelong interest in science unexpectedly led him from agnosticism to Christian faith. Drawing from his book Faith and Physics Uncovered: The Compelling Relationship Between Timeless Faith and Modern Physics [https://www.amazon.com/Faith-Physics-Uncovered-Compelling-Relationship/dp/1612062539/ref=sr_1_1?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.bqK7IN-Ps7hJEqHWjhr-OKECEXALzBsixoW_kAnvCgFLlywk4331VzncV2ouQiESUeILwPbDnOaBjLEAX89WXXHooRdd6I1gDu-4YxBnYtn2JW2Or-lgzQOd3fFfVkOQq_lL5wGA9Haz46Nmw5oWqEjxTR1T_x22LOCyIh_YiClY0klldnkQJYnALRqWRwii.2BmAjbZYyuovIrJdYqMdyQa99TjKWsDYhAhcmCiU1VY&dib_tag=se&keywords=aith+and+Physics+Uncovered%3A+The+Compelling+Relationship+Between+Timeless+Faith+and+Modern+Physics&nsdOptOutParam=true&qid=1780331032&sr=8-1], Rodger explains why scientific discovery doesn't diminish belief in God but can actually deepen it. Together, we explore how the wonders of the universe raise profound questions about reality, purpose, truth, and the existence of a Creator. From the vastness of space to the mysteries of light and the nature of reality itself, Rodger shows how science can serve as a powerful bridge to conversations about faith and the gospel. In this conversation, you'll discover: • How studying science led Rodger Price from agnosticism to Christianity • Why science and faith are not enemies • What the universe reveals about God and creation • How scientific discoveries can strengthen belief in a Creator • Why the Bible's extraordinary claims may be more reasonable than many people assume • How science can help Christians engage skeptics and seekers • The relationship between truth, evidence, and faith • Why the gospel remains essential in an age of scientific advancement Rodger Price is a leadership development expert based in Holland, Michigan. Once an agnostic, he embarked on a journey through science that ultimately led him to embrace Christian faith. Today, he combines leadership training, scientific curiosity, and biblical insight to help others think more deeply about life's biggest questions.

Redeeming Justice: Reclaiming God's Vision for Doing Good in the World w/ Christina Crenshaw

What Gen Z Wants to Know w/ Tanita Maddox

In a world where Gen Z is more connected than ever—and yet more anxious, lonely, and unsure of their worth—what questions are they really asking about God? In this episode of Truth Changes Everything, Dr. Jeff Myers sits down with Tanita Maddox to explore the deeper spiritual and emotional struggles shaping today's generation. Drawing from decades of ministry experience and doctoral research, Tanita explains why many young people are not rejecting faith as much as they are searching for meaning, belonging, authenticity, and hope. Together, they unpack: * Why Gen Z often feels unseen, misunderstood, and "not enough" * How smartphones and social media reshaped identity and self-worth * The difference between answering theological questions and hearing the pain beneath them * Why apologetics alone cannot address loneliness, anxiety, and suffering * What Gen Z actually wants from parents, mentors, and the Church * How everyday presence and authentic relationships can open the door to deeper faith conversations * Why young people care deeply about injustice, suffering, and whether God is restoring the world Tanita also shares practical insights for parents, pastors, educators, and mentors seeking to communicate truth in ways that feel real, compassionate, and deeply relevant to everyday life. If you've ever wondered why younger generations seem disconnected from faith—or how to better reach them with the hope of the Gospel—this conversation offers both clarity and encouragement.
