Devil: Fact or Myth?

About the Show

What sets Hope Study apart is its ability to bridge the gap between faith and reason. The show doesn't shy away from complex topics, addressing everything from the cosmological arguments of ancient philosophers to the fine-tuning of universal constants discovered by modern physicists. Yet, it presents these ideas in a way that's both intellectually stimulating and spiritually nourishing.

Paul's approach is inclusive and non-judgmental, welcoming believers, skeptics, and seekers alike. He skillfully navigates through the works of great thinkers like Plato, Aquinas, and Einstein, while also drawing inspiration from the simple yet profound observations of biblical figures like David and Paul.

Hope Study goes beyond mere intellectual discourse. It connects the dots between cosmic truths and personal meaning, encouraging viewers to consider how the existence of a Creator impacts their own lives and purpose.
