What happens when a former atheist follows the evidence instead of the assumptions? Universe Designed—the new documentary from filmmaker Michael Ray Lewis—dives into some of today’s most-searched faith questions: Does God exist? Is Christianity true? Can science and faith coexist?

Releasing December 13, the film traces Michael’s personal journey from skepticism to belief, sparked by astrophysics, philosophy, and the surprising realization that “not wanting it to be true” was the last barrier between him and Christ. The conversation explores his three-year investigation into origins, fine-tuning, evolution, manuscript history, the resurrection, and why beauty and design point us toward a Creator.

If you’re curious about apologetics, Christian worldview formation, or how real evidence shapes real faith—this episode gives you the roadmap.
