I’m a Christian who loves space. Here’s why that makes sense (w/ NASA scientist Dr. Runyon)

Today, I talk a little about my love for space exploration and my Christian faith. For some people, that might seem like a contradiction. Isn’t science supposed to push people away from faith? But for me, like many scientists and astronauts, exploring the universe has only deepened my belief in God.

In this conversation, I sit down with NASA planetary scientist Dr. Kirby Runyon to talk about how studying the cosmos has actually brought us both closer to the Creator. We discuss what the Bible says about space exploration and how, for the Christian, it's actually an act of worship. If you're a Christian, this video is why I think space exploration should matter to you a lot.

I don't often talk about myself on this channel, so this was a fun video to make. Thanks for letting me share the reason behind my passion!
