Podcast appearances and mentions of Lee Strobel

In today's episode, Chad and Robert explore why the resurrection of Jesus is the foundation of the Christian faith—and why everything hinges on whether or not it really happened. They walk through historical evidence, personal stories, and why even skeptics like Paul, C.S. Lewis, and Lee Strobel became convinced it was true. If the resurrection is real, it means our sin is paid for, Jesus is alive, and we can live with eternal hope.Subscribe to receive our latest videos!Website: https://www.sunvalleycc.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sunvalleycc/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sunvalleycc/Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@sunvalleyccTo support Sun Valley and help us continue to reach people all around the world click here: https://www.sunvalleycc.com/givingGod loves you no matter who you are, what you've done, or what's been done to you.

Lee Strobel, former atheist and legal editor at the Chicago Tribune, is our guest on this Easter Eve episode. As an award-winning investigative journalist and Yale Law School trained legal scholar, hear his compelling proof that Jesus Christ did die, and then arose on the third day, just like the Bible documents.

Lee didn’t believe in God, and he didn’t believe in the resurrection of Jesus. But Lee was a journalist with an analytical mind. When his wife believed in Jesus, he decided to study her new faith for himself. After two years of research, he gave in—to God, to the resurrection, to faith in Christ. The change in him was noticeable. After a few months, his five-year-old daughter said to his wife, “Mommy, I want God to do for me what he’s done for Daddy.” And the daughter of Lee Strobel put her faith in Jesus too. Many people refuse to believe in the resurrection. But reputable eyewitnesses saw the risen Jesus. One of those eyewitnesses, the disciple Peter, told a large crowd that King David was certainly dead and buried (Acts 2:29). Then Peter pointed to a prophecy David had made. “[David] spoke of the resurrection of the Messiah,” he said (v. 31). Peter concluded, “God has raised this Jesus to life, and we are all witnesses of it” (v. 32). The best evidence for the resurrection is the changed lives of the eyewitnesses, including Peter. At the crucifixion, the disciples had gone into hiding. Peter actually denied Christ (John 18:15-17; 25-27). Once they saw Jesus alive, everything changed. Filled with courage, they began to share the truth of the one great hope of the world—the risen Christ.

There have been many notable conquests in history, and outstanding conquests in the worlds of science, medicine, business and sport where life changing discoveries have been made and records broken. But by far the greatest conquest of all time, as related in the Bible and confirmed in the lives of billions of Christians through the ages, is the conquest of the Easter story. This conquest changed everything.    For the very good news of the Easter message is that Jesus certainly was dead but that He didn't stay dead. In other words, the Easter story is fact not fiction (see Lee Strobel's best-selling book ‘The Case for Christ' and theologian N.T. Wright). The conquest of Easter, so long ago, could not be more needed or more relevant today for every one of us. 1. The conquest of Easter is the triumph of love over hate (1 John 3:16; 1 John 4:10; Romans 5:7-8; John 3:16) 2. The conquest of Easter is the triumph over light over darkness (Luke 24:44) 3. The conquest of Easter is the triumph of life over death (Acts: 2:24; Colossians 2:15; Revelation 1:17-18; Hebrews 2:14-15; John 11:25-26; John 14:19; Ephesians 1:18-20) Apply  1. The conquest of Easter is the triumph of love over hate. We live in a world full of hate. Hatred in Russia and Ukraine. Hatred in the Middle East. Hatred against the Jews. Hatred against Christians. Hatred against Muslims. Hatred in our politics. Hatred paraded on our streets and in our schools and colleges. Hatred on social media. Hatred in countless broken relationships. Where can you find any love when you are surrounded by hate? Well, the best answer is the crucifixion of Jesus. For just outside of Jerusalem, human hatred and the anger of the mob manifested in all its ugliness. Corrupt politics condemned an innocent man to die. Religious intolerance was revealed with awful viciousness and violence. Jesus was beaten, bullied and brutalised. He was stripped and lashed with a whip designed to tear His flesh open down to the bone. A crowd of thorns was hammered on his head. His hands and feet were nailed to a wooden cross. He was spat on, repeatedly punched and relentlessly mocked. And yet for all this Jesus, who had spent his life doing nothing but good, did not let the hate get to Him. He did not become embittered and vengeful. Rather, as He had taught, He prayed for His enemies in his final moments ‘Father forgive them for they do not know what they are doing.' And when He died, He showed the full extent of His love for the world giving His pure blood so that everyone could be cleansed from sin (1 John 3:16; 1 John 4:10). The story of Calvary is the greatest love story ever told. It shows the lengths God was prepared to go to, to rescue people lost in their guilt and sin and rebellion. Jesus went through hell that we could make it to heaven (Romans 5:7-8). One of the most famous verses in the Bible shows us why we can be confident that God does not hate us but wants to show us His love (John 3:16). God's amazing, unconditional love is for people of every class, colour, culture, country and continent. And it is this love of Jesus and this love alone that can drive out hatred in our hearts and in others.   2. The conquest of Easter is the triumph over light over darkness. Easter tells us the awful darkness of Good Friday was followed by the bright new dawn of Easter Sunday. On Friday everything was as dark as could be. On Friday things got so bad that from the sixth hour to the ninth hour, ‘darkness came over the whole land' (Luke 24:44). All light was extinguished. All dreams were shattered. All hope was dashed. Evil seemed to have triumphed. It was as dark a day as you could imagine. Maybe you too have known very dark days, days of pain, suffering, bereavement, break-up, betrayal, abandonment, rejection, regret and remorse. You have searched for light, some rays of hope, but couldn't find any. Maybe even today you can't see a way forward in your life. You think it's all over for you. But it isn't when you let Jesus into your life. God can turn your dark Friday into a bright new Sunday. On Easter Sunday the disciples found that a new and unexpected day of discovery had dawned for them. There would come great light after great darkness. There would come great comfort after great sadness. There would come great joy after great depression. They were not alone: the Lord Himself was with them. So too you can also have new hope beyond your hopelessness and despair. That's the hope that comes from knowing that Jesus is alive.  3. The conquest of Easter is the triumph of life over death. Death, the final enemy was put to death, through Christ's death and resurrection. Death, the ultimate weapon of Satan's dark kingdom, could not keep Jesus in the tomb (Acts: 2:24; Colossians 2:15; Revelation 1:17-18). Through the death and resurrection of Christ, the curse and power of death has been broken. You don't have to fear death anymore (Hebrews 2:14-15). For sure death is painful but the sting has been taken out. When you die and are buried or cremated it's not the end. For the Christian death it's the beginning of a wonderful new life in Christ's presence (John 11:25-26; John 14:19). The incredible power of God that raised Christ from the dead can also work great change in your life (Ephesians 1:18-20). God's power can raise us from spiritual death and bring us into fellowship with the living Christ. God's power can free you from fear, guilt, worry, or the power of sinful behaviour, habits and addictions. God's power can help you overcome any trial or temptation. To know that truth brings great joy and confidence through the passing years. So, you have every reason to celebrate the truth of the Easter message. Whatever your situation or the state of your life today, there is a great future for your tomorrow. This is the great hope of the Easter message. You can know love instead of hate, light instead of darkness and life instead of death, both now and forever. This Easter Sunday, you too can meet the risen Christ for yourself. He is real. He is alive. He loves you and He offers you a new beginning. Just believe in Him and ask Him to come into your life.

In this gripping episode, best-selling author and investigative journalist Lee Strobel sits down with Billy Hallowell and Jen Lilley to unpack his most personal and provocative project yet—Seeing the Supernatural: Investigating Angels, Demons, Mystical Dreams, Near-Death Encounters, and Other Mysteries of the Unseen World. Strobel, known for The Case for Christ, brings his legal mind and journalistic rigor to topics many believers shy away from—yet are desperate to understand.Why do so many people, even nonbelievers, report deathbed visions, angelic encounters, or near-death experiences that eerily align with biblical truths? Strobel shares riveting, documented accounts—from blind individuals gaining sight during clinical death to children describing angels with surprising biblical accuracy. And in a culture fascinated by the paranormal but increasingly distant from faith, Strobel explains how the supernatural may be the bridge to a deeper spiritual awakening.Jen shares her own awe and urgency, pointing to Scriptures many churches gloss over and reminding listeners that signs, wonders, and miracles aren't just relics of the past—they're promises for every believer today. Billy draws attention to the cultural irony: Hollywood embraces the demonic, while parts of the Church shy away from talking about the spiritual realm at all.From skepticism to belief, from Sunday school stories to peer-reviewed evidence, this conversation will challenge you to reevaluate what you believe about the invisible world—and why it matters for your walk with God today. Whether you're a doubter, a seeker, or a sold-out believer, this episode will stir your soul and ignite your imagination.

The age-old question: Is there a God? If so, how can we prove it? For many, including Lee Strobel—best-selling author and former atheist—this question lies at the core of their worldview. Lee was once firmly convinced that there was no God, believing that, without proof, faith was nothing more than a delusion. But everything changed when his wife became a Christian. Determined to find evidence to discover the truth, Strobel launched a journalistic investigation into the origins of Christianity and the credibility of Jesus. Little did he know, this search for truth would eventually turn his world upside down and transform his life.   As we navigate the intersection of logic and faith, we can take heart knowing that God has given us the tools to seek the truth. He desires for us to know Him and love Him. Ultimately, faith in Jesus alone leads to righteousness (Romans 3:22). It's not only crucial to understand what you believe but also to consider those around you. How can you use the logic God has provided to engage in meaningful faith conversations with others who may see the world differently?   _____   Learn more about our guest at: https://leestrobel.com/   To purchase the books mentioned in this video, visit: The Case for Christ: https://a.co/d/iV0JqjD Seeing the Supernatural: https://a.co/d/c9a27Tu   *DISCLAIMER: East-West does not earn any commissions on affiliate links or transactions from book purchases; all commissions go directly to the author and/or publisher.   To learn more about East-West, visit https://www.eastwest.org.   To learn more about the unreached, visit https://www.eastwest.org/unreachedpeoplegroups/. _____   Music:   Intro track - https://artlist.io/royalty-free-music/song/odd-numbers/67169   Bumper track - https://www.musicbed.com/songs/good-times-with-oohs-ahhs-instrumental/70974   Wrap-up track - https://audiio.com/que-parks/move/its-about-time-freeinstrumental Ending track - https://artlist.io/royalty-free-music/song/lizard/70033

In this captivating episode of the Radio Coffee House, Clint Armitage takes listeners on a journey into the miraculous world of angels. Broadcasting from Banning, California, Clint presents a compelling interview with Lee Strobel, renowned pastor and author, who shares his own extraordinary experience of being visited by an angel. The episode begins with a powerful story relayed by Billy Graham about a missionary protected by angels during a life-threatening encounter, setting the stage for a discussion about the divine role of angels as protectors and messengers. As Clint dives deeper into the topic, he explores biblical accounts of angelic intervention, particularly focusing on the story of Elisha and his servant, where God's angels provide protection in the midst of danger. He encourages listeners to reflect on their own experiences and the unseen forces that may be at work in their lives, emphasizing the importance of prayer in seeking divine protection. Lee Strobel's personal account of his angelic visitation as a child adds a profound layer to the conversation. He recounts a vivid dream where an angel conveyed the essence of grace and the truth about salvation, a message that would resonate with him years later when he encountered the Christian faith. Clint shares his own miraculous story of being saved from drowning by an unknown figure, whom he believes to be an angel sent by God. Tune in to this enlightening episode of the Radio Coffee House to explore the reality of angels in our lives and the powerful ways in which God uses them.

NOEL THOMAS is co-founder and CEO of Dark Watch, a data company focused on anti-trafficking. His faith and conviction opened his heart for the oppressed and marginalized. Noel has been dedicated to researching, educating on, coordinating, and managing the development of counter-trafficking solutions. He addressed the United Nations on human trafficking and sextortion. He lives on Florida's Atlantic Coast. Rob Suggs is a virtuoso of the written word through his versatility, experience, and relentless creativity. His clients have included New York Times best-selling authors such as Kyle Idleman, Lee Strobel, Mark Batterson, David Jeremiah, Bruce Wilkinson, and many others. He has written or collaborated on more than sixty books. In this promising true crime story of big tech combatting human trade by Noel Thomas and Rob Suggs, Dark Traffic ushers the public into the next phase of anti-trafficking efforts to stop what has evolved into a 150 billion dollar industry involving a complex network of organized crime trafficking sex, labor, and human organs. It has become an all too prevalent and pervasive presence with a world wide grip reaching out to seize the vulnerable, powerless, and marginalized through the Internet and the dark web. Not your average book on trafficking—this is an exclusive look at the side of human trafficking you've never known, and how technology is being used to fight the war. Because the game has changed, and we must change with it. As co-founder and CEO of Dark Watch, author Noel Thomas has led United States law enforcement and the judicial system onto the new battleground, where high-tech data analysis is changing how criminals are caught and prosecuted. Offering an insider's view on the battle, Dark Traffic is Noel Thomas's plea to a public primarily unaware of the destruction and close proximity of trafficking, seeking to pull back the curtain of what's happening in our own backyards and ignite a righteous anger that calls readers to step up, learn more, and do more. “This book was written to bridge the information gap,” Thomas writes, “and, consequently, the outage gap. Lives are destroyed in large numbers, and we need to raise an army of awareness and determination to fight this enemy who is thriving in the shadows of our culture.” More than just a report from the battlefield, Dark Traffic is an urgent call for more people to join in the fight.Find out more about Dark Watch - https://darkwatch.io/Dark Traffic can be purchased wherever you find get books.

Our culture has become increasingly obsessed with everything supernatural. From witchcraft and demons to angels and near-death experiences, it seems like our fascination with all things “otherworldly” is at an all-time high. For today's episode of Fearless I'm joined by renowned author and journalist (and former atheist) Lee Strobel—talking through some of the most-asked questions about the reality beyond what we can see and touch. Lee shares insights and evidence from his latest book, Seeing the Supernatural, which investigates modern-day miracles documented in medical journals, encounters with angels, and the reality of spiritual warfare. We also discuss how believers can discern between biblical truth and popular cultural distortions of the supernatural. Ephesians 6:12 reminds us that we are engaged in a spiritual battle. These supernatural forces—Satan and his demons—are very real, but the reality and power of God is always bigger, and we can place our hope in that unchanging truth. If you are looking for a special way to gain rest and renewal we would encourage you to visit The Cove. Believers from across the globe come to The Cove with the goal of spending focused time in God's Word and with the desire to receive renewal and rest in our beautiful mountain setting. Programs at the Billy Graham Training Center at The Cove are offered year-round and feature leading Bible teachers from around the world. You can find out more here: https://thecove.org/

Biblical Talks  In this episode of Biblical Talks, SD and Lady V discuss Luke Chapter 15. This chapter delves into the value of the lost. In fact, most of us at some point, have felt lost and unvaluable. Jesus of Nazareth used the parables of the lost sheep, the lost coin, and the prodigal son to convey our value to God. With that in mind, here are a couple questions for you. Have you read Luke Chapter 15. If so, what are your thoughts? If not, no worries, we've got you covered. In any case, join us with your Bible or Bible app.  Also, go ahead and use the player at the top of this blog post or subscribe and listen via your preferred podcast platform to follow along.  Then get encouraged by joining SD and Lady V in this Biblical Talk — The Value of the Lost.  Scriptures Referenced in Episode Discussion  Luke Chapter 15 Genesis 1:26-28 Psalm 8:1-8 Luke 12:7 Psalm 139:13 John 3:16-17 Romans 10:9-10 Numbers 6:24-26  Receive your Free Gift of Salvation – The Gospel of Jesus Christ  Explanation  If you are reading this, it is not by chance. This is your time to receive the Gift of Salvation through Christ Jesus.  Now, you may be wondering, "Why do I need that?" Oh, I'm so glad you asked. The Bible says, that because  Adam ate fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil -- he released sin into the world.  And ultimately, Adam's sin brought death and death spread to everyone.  No doubt, you may be thinking, "Of course, everyone is going to die." But, my question to you is "Where will you spend eternity?" Because there is life after death. In fact, when you die you go to one of two places -- heaven or hell.  Also, it is important to understand that, Adam's sin also brought an eternity in hell. But for those who choose not to receive the free gift of eternal life. Thus, you must make that choice before you take your last breath.  Romans 5:17 New Living Translation says,  “For the sin of this one man, Adam, caused death to rule over many. But even greater is God's wonderful grace and his gift of righteousness, for all who receive it will live in triumph over sin and death through this one man, Jesus Christ.”  To sum it all up, Romans 6:23 New Living Translation says,  “For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord.”  So, if you are reading this, don't let another day go by without receiving this life-changing gift.  Scripture   Romans 10:8-10 New Living Translation says,  “8 …“The message is very close at hand; it is on your lips and in your heart.” And that message is the very message about faith that we preach:  9 If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.  10 For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by openly declaring your faith that you are saved.”  Salvation Prayer  Lord Jesus, I am a sinner, and I am sorry for my sins. I ask You to forgive me. I want to follow You, Jesus. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith, I ask You to be my Lord and Savior. Thank you, Lord Jesus, for your gift of grace and for eternity with You.  Listen to We R S.H.E.Talks Podcast  Use the web player above this blog post to listen or subscribe and listen via your favorite podcast platform.   Bible Study Resources  Holy Bible [NLT, NIV, ESV, NASB, NKJV, KJV]  Bible App by YouVersion  NLT Chronological Life Application Study Bible  Read the Bible Online – Bible Gateway  Read the Bible and Commentaries Online – Bible Hub  Read Living by the Book: The Art and Science of Reading the Bible by Howard G.

The Rewards of Spiritual Risk-Taking In many areas of life, we choose safer options out of fear of the unknown results. However, true adventure in life comes from the risks we ultimately take. Lee Strobel shares insight on all that we can gain when we take spiritual risks.

I have just finished reading a very 2002 interesting book The Case for Christ, written in Evangelical style by Lee Strobel. One of the chapters was about how Jesus fulfilled the Old Testament prophecies of the Messiah, for which Mr. Strobel interviewed Mr. Louis S. Lapides, a Jewish convert to the Christian faith who now has a B.A. in theology from Dallas Baptist University and an M. Div. and a Master of Theology from Talbot Theological Seminary and who is now senior pastor at Beth Ariel Fellowship in California.

Who was in the manger that first Christmas morning? Some say he would become a great moral leader. Others, a social critic. Still, others view Jesus as a profound philosopher, a rabbi, a feminist, a prophet, and more. Many are convinced he was the divine Son of God. Who was he really? And how can you know for sure? Consulting experts on the Bible, archaeology, and messianic prophecy, Lee Strobel, an award-winning legal journalist, searched out the true identity of the child in the manger. If Jesus really was God in the flesh, then there ought to be credible evidence, including: Eyewitness Evidence - Can the biographies of Jesus be trusted? Scientific Evidence - What does archaeology reveal? Profile Evidence - Did Jesus fulfill the attributes of God Fingerprint Evidence - Did Jesus uniquely match the identity of the Messiah? Christmas matters in the first place. Somewhere beyond the traditions of the holiday lies the truth.Become a Parshall Partner: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/inthemarket/partnersSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Join us as we examine the evidence with one of Christianity's most respected investigators.

In this video, I'm taking a deep dive into the episode behind a well-known clip of Oprah that's been widely shared in Christian circles. It's sparked a lot of discussion about her beliefs and where they stand in relation to Christianity. But I believe there's more to this clip than what's on the surface.I go over the majority of the episode, show what you didn't see, analyze Oprah and the panel's beliefs, and explore the spiritual questions raised, giving a lot of commentary on what I would consider to be unrecognized New Thought beliefs. This is not just about Oprah or another "Oprah EXPOSED" video. This is about something bigger—a set of beliefs that isn't going anywhere and I promise you at some point in your Christian walk, you'll be confronted with these arguments and beliefs this panel puts forth. I want you to be equipped.On top of this, I also give some (maybe) unpopular opinions about the interaction between Oprah and an outspoken audience member. I thought this would be a shorter video, but… that just didn't happen. Even for how long this turned out, I still could have spent another hour (or more) analyzing this episode and the clip in question.
