On this MINI-CAST episode of STEP INTO THE STORY Podcast, Sean McDowell talks with Phil about what apologetics really means and how it helps us grow in confidence as we follow Christ. (Hint: It’s not about arguing — it’s about offering a gentle and thoughtful reason for the hope we have in Jesus!)

Sean explains the roots of apologetics, how it equips believers to respond with wisdom and clarity, and why asking honest questions is not the opposite of faith. He also shares why doubt can be a doorway to deeper trust in God, and how understanding the big picture of Scripture helps us see where we fit in God’s story.

It’s an amazing, intellectual conversation you don’t want to miss!
