Joel Settecase: When Evidence Isn’t Enough: Reaching the Hard-Hearted
Manage episode 495705196 series 1910197
What does it mean to be ready to explain your hope in Christ? In this thought-provoking episode, Dave Wager welcomes Joel Settecase of the Think Institute to unpack the biblical foundation of apologetics. With 1 Peter 3:15 as the anchor, the two dive into how believers of all ages—from kids to college grads—can share and defend their faith with boldness, grace, and simplicity. Whether you’re a lifelong Christian who’s never questioned God’s existence or someone who regularly engages skeptics, this conversation offers practical insights on how to communicate truth with confidence.
From explaining the Greek word apologia to navigating the objections of today’s culture, Joel outlines a three-step method rooted in Scripture: ask good questions, expose contradictions, and point people to Christ. Dave brings it home with down-to-earth illustrations (yes, even a pen becomes a teaching tool), reminding listeners that God doesn’t need us—but He wants us. If you’ve ever felt unqualified to talk about your faith, this episode will equip and encourage you to stand up for the truth—wherever God has placed you.
