Episode 32, Jon Noyes: Truth Came Crashing Through the Door

One80

Jon Noyes believed Christians were mentally bankrupt and their thinking? “Foolish fairytales” from a “cosmic skydaddy.”
He would enjoy taking out the Christians he knew, in order to tear up their faulty theology. He says many did not have a defense of their faith.
But one fateful night, truth came crashing through the door–literally, as he met the love of his life. “How could someone so smart believe these foolish things?” he boldly asked her.
God started to work in Jon’s life. He was passionately searching for truth, and found several bumps with reality he couldn't reconcile. He even attended Biola’s seminary as a seeker, ultimately finding the truth he had been denying within the pages of the Bible. Now Jon helps Christians defend their faith with Stand to Reason and teaches at Beacon Hill Classical Academy.
In 2013 Jon earned a master’s degree in Christian Apologetics from Biola University, graduating with honors.
