"Refections On a Brief Conversation With an Atheist Philosopher" — John Bradshaw

June 3, 2023 • John Bradshaw

John Bradshaw is the President of It Is Written, a renowned media evangelism ministry based in Collegedale, Tennessee. It Is Written produces programs that have been filmed on six continents and are viewed by a global audience on various platforms, including their own channel, It Is Written TV. Throughout his career, Pastor Bradshaw has conducted over 100 evangelistic series in cities all over the world. He is grateful for the opportunity to work alongside a team of dedicated individuals who share his commitment to spreading the everlasting Gospel. Pastor Bradshaw is married to Melissa, and they have been blessed with two children. John Bradshaw shares his reflections on a conversation he had with an atheist philosopher named Michael who spent thirty years searching for the answers to life's biggest questions of why are we here and what is the meaning of life. Bradshaw challenges viewers to hang onto the Bible and believe in a powerful and wise God in heaven. He also emphasizes the importance of having the character of Christ, which is obtained by coming to Jesus as we are, receiving His forgiveness, and growing more and more in His likeness. Bradshaw encourages the audience to submit themselves to Christ, reminding them that only in Him can they find hope and righteousness.
