$Breaking the Cycle of Disbelief - Rich Robisons Story | Ep. 148 What happens when anger, disappointment, and painful family experiences shape your understanding of God? For Rich Robison, faith wasnt something he was searching for. Raised in a fractured home and moving 26 times before graduating high school, Rich eventually rejected God altogether. His anger toward his earthly father became anger toward any heavenly Father, and atheism seemed like the obvious conclusion. But an unexpected encounter during a concert changed everything. What followed was a journey through different world religions, hard intellectual questions, and a growing fascination with the person of Jesus. Along the way, Rich discovered that Christianitys message was unlike anything else he encountered, not a story of striving to reach God, but the story of God coming to us.
