My Take

Ravi Zacharias is a figure I approach with both curiosity and caution. Born in Chennai and later working across Canada and America, he spent over forty years arguing for faith through reason, writing thirty-plus books and hosting programs built on the act of thinking aloud. Whatever one concludes about his theology or his legacy, I am drawn to the sheer stamina of a life devoted to public persuasion. The work of meeting people's hardest questions head-on is unglamorous and slow, and I respect that commitment even where I might disagree with where it led.
