In this conversation, Ron Kardos interviews Barak Lurie, one of the 70 authors of Elevator Pitches for God, about his journey from atheism to belief in God.

Lurie explains that free will requires a creator and that atheism denies the existence of free will. They also explore the correlation between atheism and the atrocities committed by atheistic governments throughout history. Lurie argues that atheism lacks a moral foundation and that belief in God provides a basis for morality and accountability. They conclude by encouraging listeners to take small steps towards belief and to embrace the idea of being accountable to a higher power.
