Andy tackles one of the most serious and difficult questions from Christians and non-Christians alike — if God is good, why does evil happen? Or, to put it another way, why is the world broken? Although this is often a criticism of Christianity, it seems only fair that non-Christians also answer the question — if they can. Although we cannot fully explain the ways of God to man, it turns out that we can respond with thoughtfulness that makes sense of a broken world.
About the presenter: Andy holds an MA (Liberal Studies) in history and political philosophy from Excelsior College, where he did work at Georgetown University and Oxford University, England. He enjoys soccer, music, and good coffee.

In order to understand much of the rhetoric coming from CRT advocates, we need to get down to the root idea that lies behind the whole movement.

The world is desperate to discredit God and the Bible through science. But science is from God and designed to bring Him glory. Learn how science can help us understand and explain our faith to others, with examples from a high-tech career and many practical applications.
About the presenter: From day one, our co-founder Roy Swart has challenged his own faith with piercing questions and relentless examination. He thinks that anything worth believing in should be able to stand up to any question or doubt, and encourages everyone he meets to put the Bible to the test and go where the data leads. Roy earned a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering from MIT, has worked in the R&D sector of the semiconductor industry for over 20 years, has published papers and presented at conferences, and holds over a dozen patents.
