5 Reasons Apologists Get a Bad Rep

Apologetics: Apologizing for Believing in God?
“Have a ready answer for what you believe.” Contrary to what the world thinks, Jesus did not ask His followers to believe with “blind” faith. Because He didn’t need to. He wasn’t a swindler, a magician, or a con artist. He was God. He spoke the truth, and demonstrated it time and time again. We […]
Easy-to-Understand Truth
The first book I read by Josh McDowell was in May 2016. It was The Witness. Right after, I devoured Josh’s biography Undaunted. This book completely inspired me!

Book Review: The God Delusion (Part 2)
Last week, I began a book review of The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins, broken up into two parts. This book was a monumental work of atheist thought by arguably the best-known atheist of our time. The first part was written as an attempt to understand atheists at a deeper, closer level. If we want to reach […]
Book Review: The God Delusion (Part 1)
Sean McDowell, Josh’s son and Christian apologist, has a popular talk he gives where he stands up in front of a church and puts on his “atheist glasses,” changing his worldview from Christian to atheist. Playing the role, Sean gives a short introduction of his life converting from a Christian to an atheist, and opens […]
Is God Racist?
A racist is one who believes that a certain human race is superior to any or all others, and that it is endowed with an intrinsic superiority, which makes the racial discrimination justified.
