In today's episode, Becket Cook sits down with Oxford emeritus mathematics professor and Christian apologist Dr. John Lennox to discuss his stunning new autobiography My Story. Lennox shares his dual life as a full-time missionary and Oxford academic, his Northern Ireland upbringing, mentorship under David Gooding, Cambridge years, Operation Mobilization, and famous public debates with new atheists like Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens.

He recounts high-stakes ministry behind the Iron Curtain in Hungary and East Germany—spies, packed village churches, the Jugendweihe, a life-changing train conversation on grace versus merit, and a moving Holocaust exchange in a Budapest synagogue—plus the Nobel Prize scientist who pressured him to abandon faith. Grab My Story and watch the full conversation.
