Until next week, check out series one of How to Get Apologetics in Your Church.

Are we on the cusp of a golden era in the field of Christian apologetics? Two of the leading apologists of our day think so. (See Lee Strobel's article here.) In this audio interview provided by BreakPoint, John Stonestreet speaks with Lee Strobel and Mark Mittelberg about the centrality of Christian apologetics and how Christians can confidently answer the "tough questions." They also talk about their upcoming "Questions Christians Hope No One Will Ask" Simulcast, which is a great way to introduce apologetics into your church. More info on the March 10, 2012 simulcast can be found here at the event page.
