This is part 1 of my conversation with Greg Koukl. Our conversation, based on Greg's book, "Tactics," will help you initiate conversations effortlessly, present the truth clearly, cleverly, and persuasively, graciously and effectively expose faulty thinking, skillfully manage the details of dialogue, and maintain an engaging, disarming style even under attack.

"How do we apply the essence of the gospel to a gay loved one? In what ways can we better walk with truth and grace alongside a fellow Christian with same-sex attractions? Holy Sexuality and the Gospel offers theological and practical insights that lead us to find our identity in Christ, not our sexuality. Whether you want to share Christ with a loved one who identifies as gay or you are wrestling with questions of identity yourself, this book [and conversation] will help you better understand sexuality in light of God's grand story and realize that holy sexuality is actually good news for all."

Ryan gives the expanded version of a short YouTube video, "6 Scientific Observations Consistent with the Bible."

Dr. William Lane Craig joined the live stream to answer your objections and questions on the arguments for God's existence. We also took your questions on anything related to Christianity, philosophy, and apologetics.

Are the Gospels hopelessly contradictory and historically unreliable? I brought on Dr. Mike Licona to take this head on with his years of scholarly research in the New Testament.

How can we know whether something reported is historically true or not? What are the source materials for the life of Jesus? Did Constantine put the Bible together? How were the books of the Bible chosen? What about all the other gospels that were written? Why aren't they included? These are all great historical questions that can (and should) be addressed to show the accuracy of Scripture and the historicity of Jesus.

Brian Chilton, the founder of Bellator Christi, Senior Pastor of Westfield Baptist Church and author of "The Layman's Manual on Christian Apologetics, joined to show to discuss these questions and more.

Imagination is critically important today in our present apologetics endeavor. "Imaginative apologetics seeks to harness the God-given faculty of imagination to work in cooperation with reason, to open a way for the work of the Holy Spirit to guide the will toward a commitment to Christ."

Dr. Holly Ordway is a Fellow of Faith and Culture at the Word on Fire Institute. She is also a Visiting Professor of English for the online M.A. in Apologetics at Houston Baptist University. Her writing, speaking, and courses focus on imaginative and literary apologetics, and on the work of J.R.R. Tolkien.

The Passion Translation has grown in popularity among Christians. Its website says, "It is a meaning-for-meaning translation, translating the essence of God’s original message and heart into modern English." However, is it the same other modern translations? Should it be trusted? Pastor Mike Winger joins the show to discuss the history and translation philosophy behind the TPT.

"For many, death is terrifying. We try to live as long as possible while hoping that science will find a way to allow us to live, if not forever, then at least a very long time."

Clay Jones, a professor of Christian apologetics, explores the ways people face death and how "immortality projects" are unsuccessful, even destructive.

Do any of these sound familiar?

God is good all the time; all the time, God is good.

Love the sinner, hate the sin.

Christianity is a relationship, not a religion.

Just have faith.

It's not my place to judge.

What if these statements are actually hurting, rather than deepening, our faith?
