The Gritty Gospel with Christy Young

We are all already apologists anyway! Did you know that? We make defenses for ourselves, our friends and family more than you even realize!

The study of apologetics helps affirm our faith, strengths our ability as evangelists and helps students not to stray away from the faith when we have intellectual answers to their biblical or faith-based questions. Listen in and let's discuss why we all, as parents, should tackle the study of apologetics with our kids!

What is the study of apologetics? Let's discuss why it's so important for us to be able to make a defense of our faith - and how that BLESSES both the hearer and our own faith walk!

Jesus was the ultimate apologist! He consistently put on display evidence (miracles performed, prophecies fulfilled, etc.) in order that people might believe in Him, as Messiah, believe and be saved! Jump in with me as we aim to become great Christian apologists!

There are simply certain truths that are OBJECTIVELY true or false. Yet we live in a culture where we increasingly hear the assertions: "well, that is your truth" or "that may be true for you, but not for me." Listen in as we discuss the importance of distinguishing between objective and subjective truth claims!

Objective truth is true for everyone, regardless of whether we believe it or not! Where subjective truth is opinion, objective truth is based upodn the real, external world and is independent from our preferences and beliefs. Let's dive in together and discuss objective truth claims!

Let's discuss and define "subjective" truth! What is Subjective Truth? Why does it matter that we understand and can identify these truth claims?

Subjective truth claims are simply the opinions of those expressing them. It's vitally important that we understand subjective truth so that we won't be manipulated into believing that we must affirm and accept the subjective truth (aka opinions) of others as objectively true.

Let's define truth and discuss what is NOT truth! By understanding what constitutes truth we can more readily recognize lies when we see or hear them.

Let's continue to build our knowledge base so that we can filter what we receive from media outlets and the culture against what we know to be true. 

Christianity is not an anti-intellectual faith! In fact, repeatedly throughout the word of God, Jesus calls us to exercise logic and reason and examine the evidence before us! Jesus does NOT ask us to have blind faith, but fills the Bible with evidence "so that we may believe and have life in His name!" Watch this video with your kids!

TRUTH matters! We live in a post-christian culture that argues there is no objective truth, and that truth really doesn't matter - because you should live your truth and I should live mine. HOWEVER, truth is real and we are impacted by it in real and personal ways every day! Listen in to hear more!
