Sunday Series-Finale: The Priority of the Search
Description
In the finale of the 20-week series on J. Steve Miller's Faith That's Not Blind, Lance Smith walks through the epilogue and appendices, highlighting Miller’s challenge called the "priority of the search" and the black swan analogy that disrupts naturalistic certainty.
The episode emphasizes faith as an active, lifelong pursuit of truth, explains how multiple lines of evidence can stack and mutually support one another, and recommends practical ways to rate and tally arguments.
Smith also points listeners to further resources in the appendices and issues a personal call to keep learning, seeking, and allowing the search to shape a deeper, growing faith.
