How did you come to form your current worldview?

In this episode, Jana introduces us to Kathleen Noller, a Columbia educated computational biologist, as she walks us through her journey from agnosticism, nihilism and atheism to fully embracing Christianity.

She describes how she became atheist, how she previously viewed Christianity, and ultimately how she came around to dissecting it, embracing it and then became a compelling defender of the faith.

Trevor Lancon grew up in church but turned to atheism after doubting his faith. Outwardly successful, he struggled inwardly until God drew him back through small moments of grace!

"Reality has laws and science is beautiful now. It’s the slow uncovering and discovering of how God wrote the universe into existence. And to me that’s more beautiful than ‘Hey here’s how something works."

Trevor Lancon grew up surrounded by faith, but as he matured, he gradually drifted into atheism, embracing materialism and skepticism.

Growing up in a small town, religion was a constant yet subtle presence in Trevor Lancon’s community. Deeply involved in his church’s youth group, Trevor longed to grow closer to God, but he began questioning whether his experiences were authentic or merely emotional manipulation. Drawn to the freedom of a secular lifestyle, he eventually distanced himself from the church, and he embraced scientism, seeking tangible evidence of reality. He rejected Christianity and identified as an atheist, diving into a worldview centered on materialism and skepticism. From the outside, Trevor seemed to have it all—a home, a loving wife, two beautiful children, and a stable career. Yet, inwardly, he was burdened by feelings of dread and brokenness.

His journey back to faith wasn’t marked by a single dramatic moment but rather by countless small, profound experiences.

An Unexpected Change - David Westerhoff’s Story

During childhood, David Westerhoff’s faith never really extended outside of the church building. The tradition and practice of Christianity just didn’t make sense to David, and he began naturally moving with culture’s secular flow, becoming the ruler of his own life. On the surface, David’s life was unfolding perfectly; he had a loving wife, a growing family, and a steady career, but he still wasn’t content. His own internal battles and addictions threatened David’s marriage, and he began to feel a loss of control for the first time. On a night that seemed at first like any other, David felt the sudden presence of the Spirit of God, revealing the weight and gravity of his sins, changing him forever!

Guest Bio:
David Westerhoff is a software engineer, a husband, and a father of two. David grew up in the secularized culture of northern California but moved to Georgia after marrying his wife, Megan. He spent fifteen years of his career in tech and software, but after encountering Jesus and feeling powerfully convicted in August of 2022, David immediately realized he needed to switch gears and pursue God wholeheartedly. He is now a seminary student at New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary, studying to obtain a Master’s in Divinity.
