I Asked God to Prove He Exists (And He Answered) - # 165 Josh Jung

Josh Jung was raised in a deeply Christian environment. By the time he was young, he had already read the entire Bible multiple times and was immersed in faith. But the more he studied scripture, theology, and philosophy, the more difficult questions began to surface. Those questions eventually led him down a path few people expected. Josh didn’t just drift away from Christianity — he became a convinced atheist. Determined to understand the world through logic and reason alone, he spent years studying science, philosophy, and the strongest intellectual arguments against faith. Before walking away completely, Josh made one final challenge. He prayed a prayer unlike any he had ever prayed before. He asked God to prove He exists — and he set specific conditions for what that proof would have to look like. What followed began a series of events Josh could not explain. Experiences involving witnesses, repeated occurrences, and moments that defied every natural explanation he could come up with. In this conversation, Josh shares the journey that took him from childhood faith… to atheism… and ultimately back to belief through extraordinary supernatural encounters. If you’ve wrestled with doubt, asked hard questions about faith, or wondered whether God is still active in the world today, this story may challenge the way you think about belief. ----------- ✟ ✟ ✟ NEW! ✟ ✟ ✟ SMALL GROUP DISCUSSION QUESTIONS from this episode: ⇨ How should Christians respond to doubt—both in themselves and in others? ⇨ What distinguishes healthy questioning from unbelief, and where do you see yourself on that spectrum right now? ⇨ How can God use seasons of confusion, suffering, or even walking away to draw someone closer to Himself?
