Sometimes apologetics is thought of as a purely argumentative endeavor, debating against error and attack. This might be the focus of giving an apologetic for sports teams, secular ideologies, or a favorite restaurant, but the reality is that Christian apologetics are always rooted in the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

This week’s show explores the role of the Gospel in biblical models of apologetics, incremental apologetics steps towards evangelism, and the life of the Christian apologist.
