MENGENAI EPISOD INI
How should Christians respond to atheists?
Should we debate every objection? Avoid difficult conversations? Or does Scripture give us a better model?
In this milestone 20th episode of Practical Apologetics, Kenneth Willis explores how Christians can engage atheists with both truth and compassion. Rather than focusing on "winning" arguments, this episode examines the biblical call to listen well, answer thoughtfully, defend the faith with gentleness and respect, and faithfully represent Christ in every conversation.
Along the way, we'll discuss common atheist objections, the role of evidence, how to respond when conversations become hostile, why apologetics matters, and why ultimately only the Holy Spirit can change a heart.
Whether you're talking with a friend, family member, coworker, or someone online, this episode will help equip you to confidently and graciously defend your faith.
