In this eye-opening episode of Istoryang katoliko, Dr. Keener opens up about his journey from arguing with street evangelists to feeling God's presence rush through him, why the Gospels are reliable ancient biographies preserved through oral tradition within living memory, the reality of miracles today (with hundreds of millions witnessing them, including medical proof and resurrections in his own family), affirming eternal conscious hell as Jesus taught, why Peter is clearly the rock in Matthew 16 (and what that means for unity), his positive experiences with charismatic Catholics, the dangers of in-house Christian attacks, and why we must love one another as Christ's body despite disagreements.

In this inspiring conversation, Dr. Keener shares:
“When I felt something rushing through my body like I never felt before, I knew God was real — and that started my hunger for the Bible.”

We talked about his time teaching in the Philippines (including those scary Baguio cliffs!), why oral tradition reliably preserved Jesus' teachings, defending sacred images as reminders (not idols) in line with early Christian views, the ongoing power of the Holy Spirit in the last days, confronting prosperity gospel myths with the call to take up our cross, his books on miracles and Acts, and his vision for Christians to unite on core truths like Jesus' death and resurrection while dialoguing in love.

If you’ve ever wondered why a leading evangelical scholar affirms Peter as the rock, how miracles confirm Christianity today, why oral tradition makes the Gospels trustworthy, how Protestants and Catholics can bridge divides without compromise, or how one man's atheist-to-scholar story fuels a passion for God's Word — this episode is for you. You will feel the shock of his conversion, the surrender to Scripture's authority, the hope in Christian unity, and the fire to dive deeper into the Bible.
