How Can Murder and True Crime Point Others to Jesus? with Jimmy and J. Warner Wallace

Why are so many people fascinated with evil stories of murder, and true crime? And more importantly, can we use that fascination to point them to Jesus? Christianity is the only worldview that answers the problem of evil adequately, and now there’s a new graphic novel that tackles this big question in a way that’s both artistic and compelling!

This week, Frank sits down with cold-case detective and bestselling author, J. Warner Wallace, along with his son and co-author, Jimmy Wallace, to discuss their new book, ‘Case Files: Murder and Meaning‘. As a father-son duo with deep roots in law enforcement, they’re using their real-life experiences to craft a crime story that sneaks apologetics into an action-packed graphic novel. Tune in as they address questions like:

Why do so many police officers become cynical, and what does that reveal about human nature?

How did their experience in law enforcement help Jim and Jimmy to write this story?

What makes ‘Case Files’ different from other apologetics books?

How can storytelling help people wrestle with questions about morality and justice?

What are some of the biggest misconceptions that the public has about police and detective work?

How did the George Floyd and BLM riots radically shift the police world?

What are some of the common internal and psychological struggles of police officers?

How did Jim overcome his season of identity crisis once he retired?
