About the event
Episode 3: WHY A GOD?
Today we seem to think we’ve moved beyond the idea of God, but this secular view of life is a relatively new and unusual idea to humanity. All through human history man has looked to something outside himself for the answers to life. Why have we given up on God? Do we think science has dis-proven him? Do we think society is better off without him? We talk with astrophysicists, chemists, Harvard professors, and more to make the case that it’s not only reasonable to believe in God—it’s essential if you want to have a truly amazing life. Our souls seek their creator, and we’ll never be truly
happy unless we seek him out. As St. Augustine famously said, “You have made us for yourself, O Lord, and our hearts are restless until they rest in you.”
What is this journey in between the event we call “birth” and the one we call “death”? Is the journey taking you somewhere, or are you leading yourself to some kind of destination – a destination that could extend beyond your last breath? What do you want from your life during the in between? The questions are there. And, the answers are too.
