Summary

One of the most common questions I receive is, "If I want to study apologetics, where do I start?" Welcome to Apologetics 101 where we will take several (non-consecutive) weeks to walk through the basics. We'll talk about everything from the nature of truth to the existence of God to the truthfulness of Christianity.

Hey friends, Elisa Childers here.

0:13.0

Today I'm starting something new called Apologetics 101, where I'm going to walk through

the basics.

0:19.4

Everything from arguments for the existence of God all the way through to the truthfulness
