The PleaseConvinceMe Podcast is a weekly 1 hour (or so) discussion of the issues and challenges facing Christians in our world today. We examine the evidence for the Christian Worldview and build a case for the positions we hold related to faith, ethics and the Christian life. We hope our podcast equips believers, encourages seekers and engages skeptics with the truth of Christianity.
Jim Wallace is a detective (currently working cold case homicides), a church planter and an apologist for the Christian worldview, but he wasn't always convinced that Christianity is true. Growing up as an atheist, Jim received a Bachelor's Degree in Design (CSULB) and a Master's Degree in Architecture (UCLA), and he didn't actually look at the evidence supporting the Christian worldview until he began his 21 year career as a detective. At the age of 35 he gave his life to Christ after God changed his heart and his resistance to the cumulative case for Christianity.
Several years later Jim completed a second Master's Degree in Theology (GGBTS), and began PleaseConvinceMe.com. His diverse experiences have provided him with some unique opportunities to examine the logical conclusions and practical realities of the "secular world view" and compare these to the truth claims of Biblical Christianity. Jim's evidential approach to theology, philosophy and worldview relies heavily on his experience as a cold case homicide detective. He has assembled the evidence for Christianity just as he might assemble the evidence in front of a jury in a homicide case. The information has been collected as a series of articles now posted at PleaseConvinceMe.com. Jim has been in a faithful relationship with his wife for nearly 30 years and has four children (two of whom are now grown). He lives in Southern California and co-leads the "Rising Tide" Christian Community.
