Apologetics may not seem like a "basic" of the faith to you. Maybe it just seems like one big scary, super intellectual argument. BUT I love what Jeremy says in today’s episode when he reminds us of 1 Peter 3:15, that apologetics is simply giving an answer or a reason for the hope that you have. It is really just asking ourselves, “Why do I believe the things that I believe?” We need at least a basic understanding of this. Jeremy answers the questions... What is apologetics? Why do you think people are a little scared or hesitant to learn about other religions and worldviews? What do we need to know about our own faith to be effective in conversations with those of other faith traditions?
