The Apologetics Guy Show

How do you talk to someone about Jesus when you don't know exactly what to say? In this episode, Mikel Del Rosario and Lindsey Medenwaldt sit down to discuss why you don't have to wait until you have every answer before you start talking to others about Jesus. Discover practical lessons including how to listen well, ask good questions, recognize when someone is genuinely curious about Jesus, and respond to statements like:“Jesus was a great moral teacher, but he was not divine.”“Christians are judgmental hypocrites, but Jesus will not judge anyone.”“I was taught that if I follow Jesus faithfully, I should be prosperous and happy. But I’ve suffered some bad blows lately. What does the Bible say about that?”“I have doubts and questions, so maybe that means I cannot really trust Jesus.”Lindsey brings years of practical experience working with Mama Bear Apologetics and Mikel contributes biblical starting points for each challenge.Guest: Lindsey Medenwaldt is an apologist, author, and educator. She previously worked with Mama Bear Apologetics and is the co-author of What If Jesus Is Right? Examining Jesus' Claims About Himself in a World Full of Falsehoods, written with philosopher Douglas Groothuis. 🎯 RESOURCE LINKS➡️ What if Jesus is Right?https://amzn.to/46HatZ2➡️ Did Jesus Really Say He Was God?https://amzn.to/4hKcYjt
