Episode 171: Engaging Skeptics and Their Objections [Part 1] with Dr. Timothy McGrew


Listen Later

If we are to love those who are not Christians, as Jesus commands, one of the essential components of loving our neighbors is being able to listen to them with intent, compassion, and sincerity. Discussions and debates about God can quickly become heated. We often don't really listen to another person's position carefully, but only wait for opportunities to make our point or speak over them. 


Our guest this week and next on the Profile, philosopher, apologist and friend of Watchman Fellowship, Dr. Timothy McGrew, gives us his wisdom and insight from his many years of engaging skeptics and non-believers about the truth of the Christian faith.
