✨ Let’s Set the Stage…
Drew starts off the conversation by bringing up what so many in our culture might say: 👉“God isn’t real, everything just… happened.”
From Hollywood to textbooks, atheism gets a lot of airtime. So, Drew asks: Can we prove God exists: not with emotion or Scripture, but with clear logic and reason?
Enter Robert Trussell, founder of Tempur-Pedic and author of “The Logic That God Exists.” Robert has a rock-solid faith that started with rebellion and ended in deep conviction.
You can catch more of the conversation here.
🧠 The Big Three: Logical Proofs for God’s Existence
Robert walks us through three major arguments that don’t require a theology degree, just a brain and some honest thinking:
The Cosmological Argument 🌌
-Everything that exists must have a cause.
-The universe exists. So… where did it come from?
-Science says: matter and energy can’t create themselves.
So, the options are:
A) Everything came from nothing, or
B) There’s an eternal Creator who got it all rolling (🙌).
The Teleological Argument (Design)
-The universe is insanely fine-tuned.
-Gravity, the position of Earth, the Big Bang… all so precise.
-Robert says: randomness doesn’t produce precision.
-The fact that the universe works, and that we exist, is evidence of a Designer who wanted us here.
The Moral Argument 🧭
-Deep down, we all know certain things are wrong: killing, stealing, lying.
-But where do those moral instincts come from if we’re just chemical soup?
-If there’s no God, there’s no objective “right” or “wrong.”
-So, the very fact that we care about justice and love points to a higher moral Lawgiver.
❤️ The Peace Part
Robert’s big “aha” moment came from a drive down Wisconsin Ave.
He asked himself: “Do I believe in God?”
Answer: “Yeah, I guess I do.”
Why? Because the logic stacked up. And that moment started him on a path to deeper faith.
His book isn’t just for armchair philosophers… it’s for:
-The skeptical brother-in-law
-The teen rebelling against their Catholic upbringing
-The guy in a sober living house with tattoos on his face who tears up when he hears there’s a God who loves him 😭
Robert believes this:
Logic is the door. Faith is the home. Peace is what you find inside.
🙋♂️ So What About Pain and Suffering?
Drew brings up the big one: Why does God allow cancer? Car accidents? Heartbreak?
Robert answers with this piece of wisdom:
-God sees from an eternal perspective.
-“Would you endure 10 seconds of pain for 1,000 years of happiness?”
-That’s life on earth compared to eternity.
-God allows suffering not because He doesn’t care, but because He cares that much about your forever.

And maybe next time someone tells you belief in God is like believing in the Tooth Fairy…
Just smile and say:
“Actually, science, logic, and reason all point me right to Him.”
