In this week’s sermon from St. James Lutheran Church in Columbus, Ohio, Pastor Dax explores the tension between skepticism and faith through the story of Thomas and the resurrection. Reflecting on personal anecdotes—from a "nameless" skeptical friend to conversations about the 13.8-billion-year timeline of the universe at the Natural History Museum—Pastor Dax challenges listeners to consider why they might be attracted to disbelief and what it actually offers them. Rather than viewing human existence as a mere "blip" or "0.0002%" of a random timeline, he invites us to embrace the narrative of Genesis, which reveals a world created with divine purpose and order. This episode is a call to stop holding onto "impolite skepticism" and instead open your heart to the God who created you and has proven His love through Jesus Christ.
