September 05, 2025How to Defend the Faith - Five Practical Ways to Make the Case for Christianity
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.

Was the Resurrection Remembered or Made Up?
In this episode, Mikel Del Rosario and David Graieg dive deep into the historicity of Jesus’ resurrection, focusing on a powerful new case built on human memory. The verdict? It wasn't vision or hallucination. Eyewitnesses remembered the resurrection. They didn't make it up.
In this interview, is based on David Graig's Book: Resurrection Remembered (Routledge New Critical Thinking in Religion, Theology and Biblical Studies) https://amzn.to/4jBnw2b
Join us for this conversation and discover how:
🎯 Early eyewitness accounts preserved in Paul’s letters reflect real, shared memories rather than private hallucinations
🎯 The resurrection appearances involved groups of people, challenging hallucination explanations
🎯 Embarrassing and unexpected details — like women discovering the empty tomb — strengthen the case for genuine memories, not myths
🎯 The resurrection was remembered as a bodily, physical event, not just a spiritual or visionary experience
This memory-based approach offers fresh, compelling evidence that supports the resurrection’s historicity and its life-changing implications
If you want to understand why the resurrection is more than just legend or hallucination, this conversation will give you new insights and solid ground to stand on.
Hit play, and explore the resurrection through the lens of memory!
