A former atheist, Jon used to think belief in God was unwarranted and irresponsible.

Ever since Jon has been passionate about engaging the culture with honest, well-thought-out reasons why people should trust the Christian worldview.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJon brings a unique perspective to his audiences and the Stand to Reason team, having more than ten years’ experience in the legal field.
