"What happens when you set out to prove the Bible is a lie, and the Bible wins?"
In this episode of the Covenant Eyes Podcast, host Karen Potter sits down with Ed Griffenhagen, pastor, author, and former skeptic, to share his powerful journey from a deeply rooted Jewish upbringing to a life transformed by faith in Christ. What began as an intellectual challenge to disprove the Bible quickly became something far more personal, leading Ed to a life-changing encounter with truth.
Ed shares how reading Scripture with honesty and curiosity opened his heart in unexpected ways. His story highlights the power of God’s Word to withstand scrutiny and reveal truth to those willing to seek it. From late-night study sessions to a moment of surrender on a dark, rainy morning, Ed’s testimony is a compelling reminder that faith is not blind—it is discovered.
This conversation also explores the cost of following Christ, including strained family relationships, difficult conversations, and the courage it takes to stand firm in truth. Through it all, Ed points back to the faithfulness of God, the power of prayer, and the beauty of Scripture when we truly dive in and understand it.
