This is the last episode of our class, Why Christianity.  We've covered so many different reasons why Christianity is attractive, makes sense, and is worthy of our attention.  We've looked at scientific, logical, epistemological, social, psychological, and historical reasons for God's existence, Christ's resurrection, and the gospel's effectiveness.  Today, we consider three stories of changed lives.  The proof, they say, is in the pudding.  Can Christianity deliver healing, forgiveness, and purpose for real people in our world today?  What about people who are deeply entrenched in atheism, partying, or gay activism?
