#23 How to Become More Strategic In Defending Your Faith | Guest: Greg Koukl


Listen Later

Which tactics and questions should you be using to defend the truth of the Christian worldview?

Today we’re joined by Greg Koukl.

Greg is a Christian apologist, and he has debated new age teacher Deepak Chopra and atheist historian of science Michael Shermer.  He’s the author of the book Tactics: A Game Plan for Discussing Your Christian Convictions.

In it he lays out several strategic moves you can make in conversation with non-Christians. And he’s going to discuss three of those with us today.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

PART ONE:

• Is Greg a Presuppositionalist?

• How Greg debated Deepak Chopra.

• How to debate someone with unconventional views.

PART TWO:
• How to use the “Columbo” tactic in apologetics.

• How to use the “Inside-Out” tactic.

• How to use the “What a Friend We Have In Jesus” tactic.
