In Jim Wallace’s latest effort – God’s Crime Scene – we find the case for God’s existence being built upon the available evidence. Using the same techniques of crime scene investigation learned over a life time of police work, Jim expands upon his earlier work, Cold Case Christianity by turning his attention to the timeless questions of life, origins, morals, and why it matters that we have intellectually satisfying answers to these questions and more.
Hasn’t science already proven that the idea of a creator God is wishful thinking? After over 2,000 years what evidence can possibly be marshaled to make the case that the gospel writer’s accounts are trustworthy? Doesn’t atheism provide the best explanation for what we understand about life today?
For the first 35 years of his life Jim Wallace was a devout atheist. He found the claims of Jesus Christ and those of the gospel writers to be somewhat spurious. How could something that happened 2,000 years ago have any verifiable proof? Christianity in Jim’s mind was very much like his cold cases, puzzling and mostly dead ends.
But then one day Jim’s perspective was challenged and he began to consider the claims of Jesus Christ and the gospel writers in a different light.
In this episode of SER Jim Wallace discusses his faith journey, his realization that the evidence for the claims of Jesus Christ contained in the gospels is well beyond a reasonable doubt, and his new book, “God’s Crime Scene.”

America is in the throes of a monumental moral struggle. The recent and ongoing release of videos showing the barbaric evil that Planned Parenthood conducts as a matter of everyday “business” has shaken America like nothing in recent memory. Commentators from many different perspectives have offered their take on the monstrous actions of murdering babies in the womb in such a way that organs can be preserved for sale to a robust “after-market” of so-called research and medical facilities.
The debate is never ending. Can we trust the Bible? What about the errors? Haven’t we arrived at the place where we can discard these old myths? My guest on SER Episode 2 is from the beautiful environs of South Queensland, Australia, Garth Kennedy. Many of you know him as GK from Like Flint Radio.
It seems a very strange thing to say that in an age of increased spirituality, the number of believers who are remaining faithful to the teaching of the Bible is diminishing. If the Bible is the very word of God, it is a reliable and steadfast voice that can direct our lives.

By now most of you know that I appreciate the cartoon strip “Peanuts” created by the late Charles Shultz.
I remember one strip that featured Peppermint Patty and Charlie Brown having a conversation. You may recall that Peppermint Patty was one of the characters in the Peanuts family who always seemed to treat Charlie Brown (or Chuck as she called him) well.
This particular strip showed the two walking home from school. PP says to Charlie Brown, “Guess what Chuck? The 1st day of school, and I got sent to the principal’s office. And it was your fault Chuck.”
