In this episode of Courageous Crossroads, host Jeff Johnson sits down with Dr. Douglas Groothuis, Distinguished University Research Professor of Apologetics and Christian Worldview at Cornerstone University, author of over 20 books, including Christian Apologetics and Masking the New Age, and host of The Truth Tribe Podcast. With nearly 50 years of defending the Christian faith through reason and evidence, Dr. Groothuis shares what he considers the most courageous act of his life: a long-standing commitment to Christian witness in the face of cultural resistance and academic hostility. He defines biblical courage as relational, rooted in faith, humility, and obedience to God's will, not mere boldness or bravado. Drawing on personal trials, professional experiences, and scriptural truths, he offers listeners profound insights into how courage manifests in real-life discipleship, intellectual engagement, and public ministry.
