Summary
In the past, the reason for disbelieving Christianity was often due to underlying beliefs that were incompatible with the Bible. Today, these “defeater beliefs” have given way to something else: “defeater ethics.” In this episode, Robert explains what he means by defeater ethics and how Christians can share the gospel in spite of a culture that no longer views Christianity as good for society.

| 1:13.5 | organization. After a few weeks off, we are returning with another series that I hope will be |
| 1:19.4 | beneficial in two ways. First, the content on its own, I trust, will be helpful if for no other |
