Apologetics: defending the faith with gentleness and respect
- How can Christians defend their faith without coming across as arrogant?
- How do you know your religion is the true one compared to everyone else's?
After plugs for Chris Day's album on iTunes, Facebook, and ReverbNation (seg-00136 to seg-00138), a host asks about his monthly Wednesday apologetics night for students (seg-00144 to seg-00153). Chris cites 1 Peter 3:15-16: always be ready to give an account of the hope within, with gentleness and respect, noting believers often leave off the gentleness and respect (seg-00165 to seg-00168). The hosts discuss today's marketplace of competing beliefs and the need to explain what distinguishes Christianity (seg-00173 to seg-00187). A host recounts being asked how he knows his religion is the true one and answering with an analogy of someone questioning whether his wife is real (seg-00213 to seg-00221). They close by proposing a future apologetics show with Chris (seg-00209 to seg-00212).
