Summary

Do you know how to have meaningful conversations with atheists or how to answer their concerns when it comes to science, morality, and evil in the world? Navigating through faith conversations with non-Christians is hard enough, and you don't want to make them even more difficult by putting yourself in the hot seat. So what's the best strategy for Christians to use when defending the faith in a culture that is so hostile towards a biblical worldview?

Christian apologist, author, and founder of Stand to Reason, Greg Koukl, has spent the last 50 years finding and exposing the flaws in secular worldviews and showing Christians how to be intentional in leading evangelical discussions. This week, Greg joins Frank to talk about his brand-new book 'Street Smarts: Using Questions to Answer Christianity's Toughest Challenges', a follow-up to his best-selling book 'Tactics'. During the episode, Frank and Greg answer questions like:

Why isn't the problem of evil a good argument against God?
What is the Overton Window and how is it affecting Christians today?
Did the Obergefell Decision in 2015 actually legalize "gay marriage"?
How should you respond if someone asks you to provide your preferred pronouns?
How does Greg approach the "God of the Gaps" fallacy and slavery in the Bible?
How can we know that materialism is false?

'Tactics' taught Christians how to regain control of conversations. 'Street Smarts' will go a step further, using the same tactical game plan to tackle today's most complex issues surrounding sex, gender, and atheism by leading skeptics to acknowledge their own misconceptions through asking a series of thought-provoking questions. Be sure to pre-order your copy of 'Street Smarts' today!
