Giving a Reasoned Defense for the Hope We Have - Part 2
Manage episode 344063352 series 3244823
We live in an increasingly polarized country. We are drowning in a sea of information streaming from sources more committed to pushing a particular narrative than actually pursuing the truth. The ‘truth’ value of an idea is now weighed by how trendy that idea is.
Tight-knit communities dissolve into clans. Civil conversations become scarce. Attempts at dialogue devolve into personal attacks. Finding common ground seems improbable, and reconciling the divide seems impossible. We claim to be more ‘connected’ than ever before; fact is, studies show the complete opposite: we’re more lonely than ever before.
How, then, do we as Christians, engage the people around us? How are we to carry out the apologetic imperative in 1 Peter 3:15? What does being "all things to all people" look like as we live the Great Commission?
For starters, we're not in the argument-winning game, but the soul-winning game. So, love people as people, not projects. See people through the lens of Christ and his saving gospel.
That's what's on the menu in this episode of The Manna Podcast, as Pastor Sam and Pastor Justin Shrum continue talking about Christian apologetics and evangelism. Hope you enjoy!
