Summary
According to Summit Ministries President Jeff Meyers, unquestioned answers are Christians cliches that keep our faith at a shallow level--and not only are they excuses for Christians to avoid wrestling with the tough questions about our faith, but they are also bad apologetics in a time when many outside the faith are looking for real answers.
Shane Morris welcomes Jeff Meyers to the BreakPoint Podcast to discuss his new book Unquestioned Answers: Rethinking Ten Christian Cliches to Rediscover Biblical Truths.

| 0:46.9 | I think just over the next mountain or so, as they say in Manitou Springs. |
| 0:50.7 | Is that right, Dr. Myers? |
| 0:52.1 | We're at the foot of the mountain. |
| 0:53.8 | Yeah, we're the little hippie town that's right at the foot of Pike's Peak. And Manitou Springs. Is that right, Dr. Myers? We're at the foot of the mountain. Yeah, we're the little |

| 0:59.3 | surpassed perhaps only by Boulder. It could be, except our hippies are a lot nicer. I will say that. |
| 1:05.9 | But you've got the incline and all, so it's just a great place to live. Very beautiful. |
| 1:10.1 | Very beautiful. Very beautiful, |
