The shift towards existential questions occurred many years ago. Most folk who respond to objections at a grass roots level are aware of this. Yet this hasn’t replaced the need for appropriate responses to scientific questions. The problem of evil remains a salient objection.
This book is written by a close friend, but I also believe it’s very good. If you’d like to consider fresher approaches to apologetics, there are several from which to choose. This is one of them:
I loved recording this conversation with my friend Kristi Mair on some of the books we've enjoyed reading lately. If books play a part in your processing of life and faith, you might enjoy it too.
It's available in audio and video. Details are...
@garethtrussell@ImJonnyRaine@NotThatRBaxter Also the quiet revival stats are about attendance. So, yes, I think we are seeing more conversions nationally, but I also think we're seeing a greater willingness on the part of people to just pop to church now and again.
@garethtrussell@ImJonnyRaine@NotThatRBaxter The thing about the "quiet" part is that it's not particularly concentrated... so you have 40,000ish churches in the UK, and imagine that all of them see 25 new people over a five year period. That's a million new people nationwide without it feeling like much at all locally.
I'm often asked what books on evangelism and sharing your faith I'd recommend. So here are four ... find them at @10ofthose@10ofthoseusa.
Each will help you talk to your friends about Jesus (whilst not forgetting to talk to Jesus about your friends 🙏).
“Doubt is not the enemy of faith” is the theme of the latest conversation I’ve had the joy of recording with Kristi Mair and Dave Benson. It was great to chat about the relationship between doubt, faith, and certainty—both in our own lives and in the church. It’s here...
🤔"This slim volume can easily be read in one sitting but is worth reading again, slowing down to ask the three reflective questions that conclude each chapter."

Engaging the question 'why should I believe?' doesn't just involve reason or arguments... there's a whole web of stuff going on. Luke Cawley and Kristi Mair recorded a conversation about this (& holistic apologetics) for the podcast: https://t.co/zbYUNZXIKw

"Most people around us have a sense that there may be more out there than only what we can see or touch—not necessarily a God but something. This intuition is sometimes referred to as "somethingism." Somethingism is not a posture of commitment but simply of openness."
