He explains how he moved past fear-based beliefs from his youth and embarked on a rigorous quest to discover God through observation and reason. From contemplating the "Big Three" questions of humanity to examining ancient religions and the distinct "ripple effect" of Jesus, Devin outlines his path to a deep, experiential faith.This episode also dives into Devin's impactful ministry, "The Quiet Church," his perspective on fatherhood as a calling to steward God's children, and his powerful advice for men who feel stuck or are doubting their faith. Most importantly, Devin lays out what he believes are the **three critical fights God is calling men into right now: purity, strong leadership in marriage, and sacrificially loving their wives as Christ loved the church.** This is a must-listen for anyone seeking a logical foundation for their faith or practical guidance for living a godly life in today's world.Timestamps:0:00 Welcome to Dad Mode: God, Grit, Goals with Devin Wilbourn 0:12 Devin Wilbourn: Data Three, Street Preacher, Former Skeptic 1:35 The Profound Realization: Truth Exists Apart From Belief 3:52 Finding Freedom to Question God's Existence 5:04 Devin's Rational Journey to Belief: Starting with First Principles 11:09 Sociological Conditioning and Inherent Beliefs 14:59 The Moral Compass: Why Ask "Does God Exist?" 18:00 Hedonism: The Logical Conclusion If There Is No God 21:04 Life's Context: 90 Years vs. Eternity 25:28 Creating a Rubric for Belief, Free from Bias 28:00 Why Agnosticism is the Most Rational Position (Initially) 34:56 Limiting to Observation: Starting with the Atheist Position 37:00 The "Big Three" Questions Encoded in Human DNA 48:00 Creation as the Most Rational Observable Conclusion 52:00 Extrapolating the Creator's Characteristics from Creation 69:00 Seeking Communication: The Creator's Interest in Humanity 78:00 Analyzing Ancient Religions for Cohesive Answers 89:00 Judaism's Cohesion & Jesus: The "Man Who Screwed Up Judaism" 93:00 The Unique "Ripple Effect" of Jesus in History 100:00 Stepping from Evidence to Experiential Faith 110:00 The First Time God Spoke: A Year of Seeking 1:00:56 Faith: The Bridge Between Evidence and Knowledge (Not Blind Belief) 1:04:28 Engaging with "Checking Your Brain at the Door" Christianity 1:07:27 The Genesis of "The Quiet Church" and TikTok Ministry 1:28:10 Faith and Fatherhood: Stewarding God's Children 1:41:04 Finding God's Goodness Amidst Financial Adversity 1:52:15 Advice for Men: Start, Pray More, Read Scripture in Chunks 1:56:48 What Devin Would Tell His 13-Year-Old Self 2:00:56 God's Three-Pronged Fight for Men Right Now 2:01:54 The Fight for Purity (and its link to power) 2:04:18 The Fight to Lead in Marriage with Strength and Confidence 2:08:53 The Fight to Lay Down Your Life for Your Wife 2:18:15 Connecting Purity to Power in Men's Lives 2:21:46 How to Connect with Devin and The Quiet ChurchFor more information on Devin Wilbournhttps://thequietchurch.orgFor more information on Mike Tobiashttps://miketobias.me
