Why I Believe Original Air Date: November 12, 2006 
Show Category: Christianity/Church Show Description: I had an interesting e-mail from a listener the other day asking me how an educated person like myself (I have a PhD from Yale for Pete's sake) could "believe in demons, angels, spirits and the like. If I could call your show and ask you a simple question, or make a statement, it would be something like this: Great claims require great proof... what proof do you or can you offer of your claims of miracles, raising of the dead, healings, etc...How can you leave your education and knowledge at the church door and believe in unproven fables..." Well I am glad you asked, and this Sunday we'll spend two hours talking about that. Rejoin #1 Big Enough by Chris Rice
