Mike McHargue And "Finding God in the Waves" On Monday's Access Utah

What do you do when God dies?

It's a question facing millions today, as science reveals a Universe that's self-creating, as American culture departs from Christian social norms, and the idea of God begins to seem implausible at best and barbaric at worst.

 

 

 
Mike McHargue understands the pain of unraveling faith. In Finding God in the Waves, Mike tells the story of how his Evangelical faith dissolved into atheism as he studied the Bible, a crisis that threatened his life, his friendships, and even his marriage. Years later, Mike was standing on the shores of the Pacific Ocean when a bewildering, seemingly mystical moment motivated him to take another look. But this time, it wasn't faith or scripture that led him back to God—it was science.

 
In Finding God in the Waves, McHargue draws on his personal experience to tell the unlikely story of how the latest research in neuroscience, cosmology, and physics led him back to faith.

 
Mike McHargue, also known as “Science Mike,” is the host and co-host of two podcasts—Ask Science Mike and The Liturgists Podcast—that have attracted a curious following among Christians, the spiritually interested, and the religiously unaffiliated. He is an in-demand speaker at conferences and churches around the country, and he writes for the Storyline Blog, Sojourners, and Relevant magazine.
