True Comfort


A Heavy Loss; a Strong Faith – with David Geisler

August 22, 2025

In this conversation, Teasi Cannon and David Geisler talk about his journey into apologetics and evangelism as the son of apologetics trailblazer, Norman Geisler. They discuss David's deep passion for pre-evangelism in understanding people's hearts, and his ministry focus on discipleship. David also shares openly about his sister's tragic suicide, how it shaped his faith and hope in Christ, and the cultural ideologies that often fail to provide true comfort.
