Kim Endraske was a passionate atheist who enjoyed debating Christians. Except that no one wanted to enter the ring with her. 

“The Christians that I knew really didn't know how to answer me, So when I would say some comment like, ‘How can you believe the Bible is real?’ They would just kind of look at me; they couldn't really defend their faith.” 

Kim was really just waiting for someone to engage her hard questions. “I really had no idea what I was talking about. And if someone who was really wise and had studied, they probably could have sat down and really talked to me. But no one really was there to walk me through and explain to me, that actually, there are scientific reasons to believe.” 

This all changed when a new friend answered her prolific questions about Christianity, even though as Kim said, “He didn’t have any idea really what to say.” But since he wasn’t afraid to engage with her, when he actually shared the gospel, Kim became a believer. With her newfound faith, the Bible opened up for Kim and she embraced Christianity. 

Kim shares how her faith got her through the death of an infant and how she now helps others going through the same grief. 

Today’s show will be especially helpful for those who are intimidated to engage with atheists. Host, Margaret Ereneta, said, “It's interesting, we get so intimidated around atheists, ardent atheists, passionate atheists, but we forget that we hold the truth and they don't have it. We have something that they need to hear. And I love that you're saying if someone would've just told me this or had an argument for me, or just had the courage to speak up, it really would've helped and they didn't.”

Today’s Sendoff is a guided prayer for atheists from OneWay’s Prayercast.
