In this powerful episode of Faith That Finished, we explore the extraordinary journey of C. S. Lewis, one of the most influential Christian thinkers of the twentieth century. Once an outspoken atheist shaped by intellectual skepticism and the trauma of war, Lewis would eventually undergo a dramatic conversion that transformed both his life and modern Christianity.
From the battlefields of World War I to the halls of Oxford University, Lewis wrestled deeply with questions about suffering, truth, morality, and the existence of God. Through friendships with believers like J. R. R. Tolkien and his relentless pursuit of truth, Lewis moved from disbelief to faith, eventually becoming one of the strongest voices defending Christianity in the modern era.
Faith That Finished reveals how C.S. Lewis used books, radio broadcasts, apologetics, and storytelling to point millions toward Christ. His story reminds believers that faith is not the enemy of reason—and that God can use even the most reluctant heart to impact the world for generations.
