What Investigating Death Teaches Us About the Meaning of Life

For decades, former atheist and cold-case homicide detective J. Warner Wallace investigated the causes behind deaths and murders, chasing one lead after another for months as he attempted to solve each case. Investigating death, surprisingly, taught him a great deal about life and the nature of people.

At this event, we will explore how these clues lying behind our human nature uncover fifteen life-truths gleaned from both contemporary murder investigations and ancient Biblical wisdom. We will learn guiding principles to help us thrive and flourish as human beings created in the image of God, and see how these fifteen attributes of human beings have been confirmed by modern sociological studies, but were first described on the pages of Scripture.

Even if you don’t believe in God, these valuable insights into our human condition will help you better understand your own identity and the identity of your Creator.
