On this episode of The Mountain Top Experience Podcast, hosts Carlos and Dave sit down with attorney and author Richard Bolen for a thoughtful and deeply encouraging conversation about faith, perseverance, and biblical clarity.
Richard is the author of Christianity Is Easy: Compared to the Alternative, a compelling guide to thinking differently about the Christian life. In this episode, Richard shares his personal story of coming to faith in Jesus at just seven years old while attending Bible camp and how, over the next fifty-two years, he never turned back. Rather than a faith built on emotion or circumstance, Richard explains how a biblically grounded approach to Christianity has made perseverance possible even when life is difficult.
Carlos and Dave explore with Richard what it means to live out a faith that is anchored in Scripture rather than cultural expectations, why the Christian life is often misunderstood as harder than it truly is, and how clarity about truth brings freedom, endurance, and peace. Richard’s legal background adds a unique perspective, helping listeners see how clear thinking and biblical reasoning strengthen faith for the long haul.
This episode is an encouragement for believers at every stage, especially those who feel worn down by circumstances or discouraged by the noise surrounding modern Christianity. Richard reminds us that while life itself can be hard, following Christ offers a better, steadier alternative.
