Test God

A 7-Day Spiritual Experiment for Skeptics, Agnostics, and Honest Seekers

"What if you could test God? Not with blind faith, but with the same intellectual honesty you bring to any other investigation? 7 days. Real exercises. Honest evaluation. You decide what the evidence shows."

The Seven Days

1

Opening Your Mind

Setting aside assumptions and approaching the experiment with genuine intellectual honesty.

2

Observing Design

Looking at the natural world with fresh eyes — complexity, beauty, and order.

3

Testing Prayer

Your first honest prayer — even if it's just "If you're real, show me."

4

Reading Scripture

Engaging the Bible as a text, not a religion — starting with the Gospel of John.

5

Examining Evidence

Reviewing the historical, archaeological, and manuscript evidence.

6

Listening

Paying attention to what's happening inside you throughout the experiment.

7

Drawing Conclusions

Evaluating your experience, your evidence, and your next steps — whatever they are.

Where I'm honest with you

This is practical teaching, not proof. It's drawn from Scripture and from walking this road myself. If you're still weighing the basics — whether God is real, whether the Bible can be trusted — I'd encourage you to start with the Skeptic resources in the Research Hub before diving in here.
