From New Age Seeker to Encountering Jesus | Robert Hotchkin's Story | Ep. 156

Can disappointment become a barrier to belief?

For years, Robert Hotchkin searched everywhere for truth, through intellect, New Age spirituality, meditation, altered states, and endless questions. But nothing could satisfy the longing he carried inside.

Then, alone in the Montana mountains, everything changed.

Listen now and discover why sometimes the greatest evidence isn't an argument, but an encounter. https://t.co/m21KsNOMIz

From New Age Seeker to Encountering Jesus | Robert Hotchkin's Story | Ep. 156

What if the reason you struggle to believe is because life has taught you not to trust?

Dr. Jana Harmon sits down with Robert Hotchkin, a former skeptic and spiritual seeker, whose journey took him far beyond traditional religion. Raised in a loving but largely non-religious home, Robert eventually embraced a worldview marked by cynicism, intellectualism, and deep disappointment.

Determined to find meaning and transcendence, he explored the New Age movement, Eastern philosophies, meditation, altered states of consciousness, and countless spiritual practices.
Yet no experience could satisfy the longing that remained.

Then, in the solitude of the Montana mountains, after years of searching and a lifetime of hidden pain, Robert encountered something he could neither explain away nor forget, the overwhelming love of God. Listen to learn how Robert explored the goodness and truth of God.

Is Christianity Intellectually Credible?

What happens when the evidence for Christianity challenges your assumptions about intelligence and faith? Nate Hanson once believed that the more intellectually informed someone became, the more likely they were to reject Christianity, until he discovered scientists, scholars, and academics who had followed the evidence and found faith in Jesus.

🎧 Listen to the full episode of eX-skeptic to discover how examining the evidence challenged Nate's skepticism and ultimately led him back to Christianity. https://t.co/GFtdJlqZ93
