Stand to reason
And of course when you're 18 in the mid 60s, the last thing you want to think about is purity and religion and God looking over your shoulder. Greg Koukl: Senior in high school, that's right. When I was about a senior, that's when I kind of let go of whatever religious trappings that I had. Greg Koukl: No, I was raised actually raised in a Roman Catholic family, but like a lot of, in the 50s, I was born in 1950, and so I went to high school and began college in the 60s in that turbulent time. Sean McDowell: So maybe just start by telling us, you weren't raised in a Christian family.

I want to kind of peer behind the curtain a little bit and just give our listeners a sense of who you are, your journey of faith, and some life stories you've learned along the way. You get calls every week and you wrestle with a number of issues theologically, ethically, culturally. We can talk about relativism, your more recent book, The Story of Reality. Sean McDowell: Now we could talk about your book tactics, which you talk about how you have practical conversations with people about the faith. Yeah, it's always a treat to chat with you. Regards to that, Greg, thanks for coming on. So if you haven't listened to his yet, hit pause, go the Stand to Reason, subscribe to it. And you might recognize his voice because he's the President of Stand to Reason and he has a long going radio show now, a podcast that is one of the best apologetic podcasts that are out there. Now in case you don't recognize his voice yet, this is Greg Koukl is my guest. Greg Koukl: That's right, I spent many years there as a master's candidate in the MA Phil program too.
