The Importance of Being Prepared for Dialogue

Christians are encouraged to be prepared to engage with skeptics and non-believers, particularly during gatherings with family and friends. The necessity of equipping oneself with answers to challenging questions is emphasized, as many people struggle with intellectual barriers to faith. The approach should be gentle and respectful, acknowledging the experiences of the Holy Spirit while also providing rational explanations for one's faith. This aligns with the example set by the apostles, who proactively engaged with skeptics and made compelling cases for the resurrection of Christ and the validity of the Scriptures.
