In this premiere episode of Understanding the Light, we set the stage for a journey through Scripture like you've never heard before. Join me as I share my personal story - how a turbulent childhood opened the door for faith to take root, and how witnessing the transformation of others drew me nearer to God.

From there, I walk you through my experience studying Marine Biology and Oceanography at a secular university. While the academic world heavily promoted evolution and a godless view of origins, I found that honest inquiry and evidence brought me to a deeper, stronger faith in the truth of the Bible.

In this episode, you'll hear:

- How God reached me in the middle of family brokenness

- The influence of early faith experiences and real-life transformation

- The tension I felt in college between faith and scientific claims

- Why the evidence for a literal reading of Scripture - both scientifically and archaeologically - made my faith unshakable

This is just the beginning. In future episodes, we'll explore the Bible book by book, examining the scientific and historical supports for its truth.

"Sanctify them by the truth; your Word is truth." - John 17:17
