Wherever God is, provision is, with today’s message: “The #1 Reason You’re Not Fulfilled.” Our interview guest is Lee Strobel, a former investigative journalist who professed atheism for many years while searching for evidence of Jesus. Upon finding the answers he was looking for, he became a Christian and subsequently wrote the best-selling book, The Case for Christ. Since then, he has authored dozens more books and has also become a teaching pastor and professor who wants the world to know the Lord. His new book, Is God Real?: Exploring the Ultimate Question of Life, helps answer some of the hardest questions from not only skeptics, but believers, about God’s existence.

In addition to their time together, Dr. Schuller welcomed musical guests Hillary Johnson (soprano) and Lynne Davis (organist). He also preached a moving sermon called "As For Me and My House, We Will Serve the Lord." Although this message was given nearly 35 years ago, its subject is equally as pertinent today!
