Can God reveal Himself to people who have never heard the Gospel? In this podcast discussion, we explore the groundbreaking book Eternity in Their Hearts by Don Richardson, author of Peace Child. Richardson presents compelling historical and anthropological evidence that God has placed within cultures around the world clues, traditions, and longings that prepare hearts to receive the message of Jesus Christ.
Join us as we discuss Richardson’s concept of redemptive analogies, stories from ancient civilizations, tribal religions, and forgotten cultures that seem to point toward biblical truth. We examine what Scripture means when it says God has "set eternity in the human heart" and how missionaries have discovered remarkable connections between the Gospel and the beliefs of peoples across the globe.
In this episode, we discuss:
