Why Truth Matters: A Look At "The God Who Is There"

Does it matter if you believe in absolute truth? The answer is, "Yes!" In this episode, Ryan and Brian continue their conversation about truth, but this time, they also look at the book "The God Who Is There" by Francis Schaeffer. They discuss the rationality of belief in God, how knowledge can lead us to an understanding of God, and the importance of understanding truth in this way. Faith in the God of the Bible isn't a blind leap. Brian and Ryan also discuss how Schaeffer points out that if you don't believe in absolute truth rooted in God, then it is impossible to live consistently within your beliefs.

Ryan Sarver

Ryan was a student of Brian’s at Lincoln Christian College almost twenty years ago — not a good student, but a student nonetheless. He graduated with a degree in worship ministry and worked in the local church for several years. Now, Ryan owns and operates a video production and marketing company, telling stories for non-profits and businesses.

Ryan loves reading books on theology and engaging in conversations. He and his wife, Lauren, share two children and live in the Indianapolis area. One of his claims-to-fame is making the best popcorn ever — just ask his kids.

Ryan’s favorite movie is The Tree of Life. He enjoys all kinds of ethnic foods, as well as pour-over coffee — keep your K-cups to yourself 🙂
