How Good Questions Can Answer Tough Challenges | Ep. 82 w/ Greg Koukl

How would you respond if someone presented a challenge to the truth claims of Christianity? Would you be nervous? Feel ill-equipped? What if you could eliminate your anxiety, take control of intimidating conversations, and help others think more clearly about their views and the truth of Scripture? 

The key to all of this? Asking good questions. 

That’s what Greg Koukl’s latest book, Street Smarts, is all about. Greg is back on the podcast to talk about how questions can help answer Christianity’s toughest challenges.

Koukl has hosted his call-in radio show Stand to Reason for over 30 years, has written many helpful books including Tactics: A Gameplan for Discussing Your Christian Convictions.

Street Smarts picks up where Tactics left off, providing model questions and example conversations to effectively discuss your Christian beliefs, even on hot-button issues such as moral relativism, the authenticity of Scripture, the gospel, abortion, marriage, gender, and more.

In this discussion we’ll talk about:

• How Greg became involved in apologetics
• How Street Smarts expands on the book Tactics
• The difference between harvesting and gardening when it comes to evangelism
• The benefits of asking questions in difficult conversations
• How we can be better equipped to engage with others on difficult, controversial issues
