Apologetics Class - Fight Back! (Defending the faith)

A crash course on apologetics; what are some reasons arguments aren't landing, even if they are good, even if they are right? In this presentation I explain what apologetics is, what it can do, and what it can't. I go into an explanation of a common technique interlocutors use to avoid conceding a point, and how to make a conversation productive. I give a powerful phrase to use to center any theological conversation ("What Scripture led you to this conclusion?") and answer questions from the audience about specific apologetics situations and approaches. If you enjoyed this, and you have high-school age youth, consider sending them to Higher Things for this kind of thing and much more (with even better presenters). A big thanks to the organization for letting me contribute! Special shout-out to Nikki who absolutely knocked it out of the park as a volunteer. Filmed at Higher Things week 1, St Louis, 2026.
