Today, we speak to Pastor Daniel Christie. Daniel didn't grow up in a Christian household but even as a skeptic, found Christianity. Now he works as a pastor and is passionate about sharing the Bible. In this episode, we cover the historicity of the Bible, archaeological evidence for it, as well as the canon of Scripture.
