How to Defend the Faith - Five Practical Ways to Make the Case for Christianity


Listen Later

There’s more than one way to do apologetics. In this episode of The Apologetics Guy Show, I talk with Dr. Melissa Cain Travis and Dr. Timothy Paul Jones, co-authors of Understanding Christian Apologetics, about five practical methods Christians can use to explain and defend their faith. We’ll unpack the unique strengths of each approach, how they’ve been used in church history, and what they mean for conversations about the gospel today.

  • The five major approaches to apologetics—Classical, Evidential, Presuppositional, Cultural, and Ecclesial—and why each one matters.

  • How Melissa Cain Travis makes the case for the enduring value of Classical Apologetics in a modern, scientific age.

  • Why Timothy Paul Jones emphasizes Ecclesial Apologetics and the church’s lived witness as a defense of the gospel.

  • How different methods complement each other rather than compete, giving you a fuller toolkit for engaging skeptics and seekers.
