Frank welcomes back father-son duo, Cliffe and Stuart Knechtle, to unpack the objections they hear most often from college students who remain unconvinced by Christianity, share how they respond to skeptics in the heat of the moment, and help Christians prepare for similar conversations. Tune in as they answer questions like:
-- What doubts about Christianity has Cliffe personally struggled with over the years?
-- Does the Bible condone sexism and slavery?
-- What's the psychology behind our ABC - "Anything But Christianity" - culture and people who refuse to follow Christ despite the evidence?
-- What four key questions can be used to help non-Christians think more clearly about their current (false) worldview?
-- Was Jesus an ethical genius?
-- How did Paul's teaching radically elevate the dignity of women in the ancient world and what context do most people miss in controversial passages like 1 Corinthians 11 and 1 Timothy 2?
-- How do intellectual skeptics like Bart Ehrman explain the recent explosion of scholarship centered on the historicity and evidence of the resurrection?
-- What are the 3 biggest obstacles preventing the younger generation from accepting a Christian worldview?
-- What encouragement would Cliffe give Christians who want to be firm and bold in their faith?
Whether you're searching for answers yourself or hoping to have better conversations with skeptical friends, this episode will help you think through some of Christianity's toughest objections. If you enjoyed this discussion, be sure to grab your copy of, 'Demolishing Doubt', and watch the previous episode, 'How to Demolish Your Christian Doubts', if you missed it last week!
