When was the last time you had a REAL and MEANINGFUL conversation with someone who disagreed with your Christian worldview?

Or even worse, what if YOU aren’t sure what to believe anymore?

So when this happens, what’s the best way to help someone tackle those doubts without shipwrecking the saving grace of Jesus Christ? Our friend and Biola apologetics professor, Dr. Sean McDowell, is no stranger to struggling with doubt. In this week’s podcast episode, Sean…
