Have you ever found yourself in a conversation about faith that you feel unequipped to be a part of? You know that you trust God but you aren't sure how to explain let alone defend your faith to someone who seems to be in opposition to you. Sound familiar? I know it does to me! There was a time in my life when I knew what I believed but I had no confidence in defending it.

That is exactly why I invited my friend Liz Cobo to join me on the podcast this week! She is a Christian Apologist who is passionate about helping believers learn to gracefully defend their faith and biblical worldview with gentleness and respect. Liz hosts the unBibled podcast and is currently a student in the Master’s degree program for Christian Apologetics at the Talbot School of Theology, Biola University. She is a wealth of knowledge that I am so blessed to call friend!

During the conversation we covered so much practical information that all Christians should be equipped with when it comes to defending your faith. Apologetics is about defending our faith, not arguing or apologizing for it. The key to apologetics is to know the Bible deeply and being prepared to share our testimony whenever God presents us with the opportunity. Giving a reason for the hope that we have in Jesus Christ as our savior may be hard to get out of our mouths at times but it doesn't have to be.

Key Takeaways:

• Christian apologists don’t apologize for their faith, they defend it by knowing God & His Word
• Get your faith solid by spending time with God & being in his word daily in a disciplined and diligent way
• Christianity is the ONLY religion that has evidence
• As Christians we must be prepared to share our faith when someone asks us to give a reason for the hope that we have - we can do that gracefully & in love
• Don’t just read the Bible.... study it!
• We don’t need to beat anyone over the head with a Bible
