Why Christians Should be More Like Alex O'Connor

Описание: In this video, I respond to the opening section of Alex’s talk on why he’s not a Christian. This is not a rebuttal or a debate. It’s a reflection on his argument, his posture, and what it means to genuinely seek God.

Alex’s central claim is that he has searched diligently for God and found only silence. I address the argument itself, noting where assumptions are made rather than proven, but more importantly, I focus on something deeper: the value of seeking, even when there is no immediate answer.

I argue that not finding something does not prove it does not exist. Searching without results is common in science, mathematics, and discovery. The same may be true when it comes to God. From a Christian perspective, I also explore the idea that God is known not only by the mind, but through the human spirit, much like unseen radio waves require the right instrument to be received.

My core impression may be surprising. I find Alex’s seriousness, honesty, and persistence commendable. The problem of God’s hiddenness is not only a struggle for non-believers, but for believers as well. Scripture itself reflects this tension.

Whether you believe or doubt, my encouragement is the same: keep searching, keep asking, keep knocking.
