Evidence 4 Faith is an apologetics ministry founded in 2021 by biologist and Bible speaker Michael Lane to point people to God through the Cosmos. We research and develop free lessons and workshops covering areas of history and science in contrast to the Biblical record to examine what is true and how God can be trusted. This podcast hosts audio from all our lessons, ministry updates and guest conversations. You can find video versions and more resources at our website.
