Episode notes
Every Believer Is An Apologist
- Everyone who lives a Christian life becomes an apologist by default when asked about their faith.
- Timothy Paul Jones stresses we must do apologetics well, sensitively, and wisely because refusal isn't an option.
Prepare For The 'No' Moment
- When someone says no to the gospel, whatever you say next is apologetics; prepare for that moment.
- Do apologetics with effectiveness, sensitivity, and wisdom rather than hoping objections never arise.
Apologetics As A Toolbox
- Different apologetic methods are complementary tools, not mutually exclusive systems.
- Jones recommends building a toolbox and using the approach that fits the situation and audience.
