LIVE this Thursday from 8:00 to 10:00 PM EDT at ApologeticsLive.com
What does it mean to believe in God but stop short of Christ? This week, Apologetics Live welcomes William "Bill" Kluck — a man who spent nearly four decades in the church, walked away into atheism, co-founded the Atheist and Christian Book Club, and spent years sharpening arguments against Christianity. Then something broke open. The fine-tuning of the universe and the stubborn impossibility of life arising from non-life forced an honest question he could no longer dismiss: Why? Bill is now a self-described theist — he believes in God — but he has not yet crossed the threshold into Christianity. That is precisely where this conversation begins.
This is not a triumphalist conversion story, and it is not a debate designed to embarrass anyone. It is a real, unscripted engagement with a man at a genuine crossroads — someone who has followed the evidence far enough to abandon atheism but who is not yet persuaded that the God he now believes in is the God revealed in Jesus Christ. Andrew Rappaport will engage Bill's journey with honesty, warmth, and the full weight of the presuppositional case for Christianity — exploring why theism alone is an unstable resting place, why the evidence that broke Bill's atheism does not stop at a generic creator, and what it would mean for him to take the next step.
Tune in live on Thursday, May 28, 2026, from 8 to 10 PM EST at ApologeticsLive.com. You do not need to be a theologian to participate — whether you are a Christian who wants to learn how to have this kind of conversation with the skeptics in your own life, a fellow traveler who shares Bill's uncertainty, or someone who wants to push back on the whole enterprise, the door is open. Come ready to ask questions, bring your objections, or simply listen and think.
