In the few weeks while Craig finishes up his move to Minnesota and while Troy digs himself out from under an avalanche of writing and research, For You Radio takes the opportunity to revisit some of our favorite episodes. Today, we look back to when apologist Adam Francisco joined us.   What is "apologetics," anyway? How can the Christian utilize apologetics in their witness of Jesus Christ? Apologist Adam Francisco returns to show Craig and Troy how apologetics--while not the silver bullet of witnessing--can be properly used to help overcome an unbeliever's objections to the faith.

For You best of encore: An apology for apologetics

“What is the gospel?” Responses continuously return to an inward-looking faith instead of a faith that clings externally to the astonishing mercy of Christ Jesus, who took the sin
of the world into Himself on the cross and breathed out His life for and onto His creation.  In this act of
sacrifice, Jesus is indeed the sacrificial Lamb who takes away the sin of the world. Through His resurrection,
Jesus Christ has given His promise of eternal life in Him.

God always seems to work through that which is least likely to work, so that all glory is ascribed to Him. God sends Gideon and his 300 with their clay assault pots to take out the enemy. Will it work? Will God give Gideon a decisive victory?

I dreamed a dream of the 300

Gideon accepts the call of the Lord whole-heartedly . . . well actually no. Gideon's response to the Lord's call is filled with weakness, with fearfulness, and with faithlessness. Can we see ourselves in Gideon's story? But more importantly, how can we see Christ and His work in Gideon's story?

Fleecing God

The Lord calls Gideon while he is hiding out in a winepress for fear of the Midianites.  Will God be able to make this meek man into what He names Gideon to be?  Craig and Troy open up the story of Gideon as they continue through the book of Judges.

Gideon . . . mighty man of valor??

The story of Deborah, Barak, and Jael is interesting and complicated. God fulfills His promises in ways we don't expect, and through people we might not otherwise guess. Craig and Troy continue their discussion on the PG-13 book of Judges.

Sisera's splitting headache

" . . . ohhhh . . . on second thought, go ahead and keep it." Craig and Troy start to work through the Judges. One is a relative of Caleb, one is a sneaky left-hander, and one is a footnote, but all three are used by God to deliver His people not only from their enemies, but even from His wrath.
