Have you ever doubted the reliability of the Bible?
Our guest today, Mary Jo Sharp was raised in Portland, Oregon. Where she grew up, there wasn’t much talk about God or the Bible. The only Christianity she really saw on display was what was shown in the movies.
As she grew older, she started having questions about the meaning of life and began investigating for answers. Around this same time, her high school band director gave her a bible. She was about to graduate, and he knew that she would have questions. He told her to turn to the Bible for answers.
In college, Mary Jo started going to church. She was searching for answers and community, but not all of the experiences she had were good. Through her spiritual journey, she encountered apologetics. In her wrestling with her faith, apologetics provided some of the answers she was desperately searching for.
Mary Jo is now an assistant professor of apologetics at Houston Baptist University and the founder and director of Confident Christianity Apologetics Ministry. She has been featured in Christianity Today’s cover story “The Unexpected Defenders” and is an international speaker on apologetics, focusing on love and logic to uncover truth. She lives with her husband and family in Portland, Oregon.
We invite you to join us in listening to this incredible testimony and believe that it will stir hope in your heart.
