What Are You Living For? with J.T. Frazor

Why do you believe what you believe?

Join me as we sit down with Dr. Brent Cook—pastor and professor in apologetics and church history—discussing doubt, how we should use apologetics in sharing our faith and within a church-context, the divisiveness of Christianity, and the power of the Gospel to save and secure us. Whether you fear not being able to answer questions while sharing the gospel or have your own questions and doubts about your faith, you will not want to miss this episode!
