As millions of Americans look for ways to deepen their faith in the New Year, our next guest brings a perspective you don't often hear — especially from someone with his background. Matthew Mark McWhorter, a retired corporate attorney and once a committed atheist, found himself in a severe health crisis that pushed him to investigate the Christian faith with the same intensity he once brought to the courtroom. That journey led him to study every major Bible translation and the lesser known writings many believers have never encountered. He says these so‑called "missing books" helped him, as an attorney, build a stronger, evidence‑based case for Christ.

Today, Matthew is a Christian author with a depth of scriptural and historical knowledge that is truly uncommon. His book Canon Crossfire hit #1 on Amazon over Black Friday. He offers a rare opportunity for audiences to explore the early Apostolic writings, understand the full historical context of Jesus Christ, and rediscover the foundations of the Christian faith through a wider lens. His insight is both intellectually rigorous and spiritually compelling — and he's here to help us start the New Year with a deeper, richer understanding of what we believe.
