Christianity explains the universe better than atheism
Atheists try to convince us that in order to be a Christian you have to be willing to check your brain at the door because no rational person could seriously believe in the truth claims that it makes. If the claims of these atheists are true then there is no meaning in the universe. This idea runs contrary to intuition. We feel as though there must be some greater meaning in our lives. Brian explains why our lives DO have a meaning and that meaning can only be understood in light of the Christian worldview.
How Christianity makes sense of suffering
Everybody experiences suffering. No matter what you believe about the world, you have to be able to account for that fact. Maybe you are an atheist and believe that there is no meaning in suffering - things happen and whether they are good or bad is a matter of opinion. But most people live as though there are absolute rights and wrongs and therefore need to give a reason for why bad things happen to good people. Brian explain just how Christianity uniquely explains the seeming injustice of bad things happening to good people.
