How to Answer Challenges to Your Faith

Some people say, “Truth doesn’t exist.”

Is that statement true? If truth doesn’t exist, then the statement itself is self-refuting.

Arguments against Christianity usually fall flat when we peel back the layers. The deeper we look, the more biblical faith blossoms. Even so, as logically coherent as Christianity may be, many of us struggle with knowing how to communicate that beauty to others.

I’m talking about how to do that with Greg Koukl, Christian apologist and founder and president of Stand to Reason Ministries, on Focus on the Family with Jim Daly.

Greg acknowledges that talking with someone who opposes the Christian worldview can be difficult, but he also says the key to success is preparation. We can speak with confidence about our faith if we learn to articulate our beliefs from a broad knowledge of relevant issues, from wisdom rooted in God’s Word, and from an ability to speak truth in a winsome way.

Greg and I discussed all three of those helpful strategies, including:

• The problem with relativism.

• What to say when an atheist challenges evidence for the Christian faith.

• How the “problem of evil” is actually evidence for God.

• How to defend the pro-life position.

• How to answer questions about gender.
