A Strategy For Teaching Apologetics To Youth

A simple strategy that anyone can do to help prepare the church to face skeptical challenges and be ready to outreach to an unbelieving world. I've found these strategies to be effective. Integrating apologetics into normal church services is easy. Here is how to do it and some resources that will help!

I’m about to be a freshman in college, and this is the most helpful and needed video I’ve found like ever ever ever. Both my older siblings walked away from the faith when they hit the college years and I thank God for keeping me. While trying to share the gospel with my brother he hit me with a ton of questions and objections like all these mentioned in the video and more. I just didn’t know how to answer him, so I just cried and hugged him. I wish I would’ve watched this before. God has used it, though, as a motivator for me to learn apologetics and be able to have the answers next time! I cannot tell you how grateful I am for your online ministry, Mike Winger. All your amazing content is blessing the Church for real. God bless you, brother! 🙏🙏🙏🙏

I am just a high school student, who wanted to teach apologetics, I would have lead with bugs just like the bombardier beetle. I would have never touched challenges like these. Thanks for the help, I have now been asked to teach a Bible class of 6th graders about apologetics!

Wow your church, and youth are incredibly blessed to have you bringing the foundations and truth!

Thank you for this info. Shared it with my young adult children, all believers. This will give them more to take to their skeptical peers!

Fantastic video! I started watching your videos a couple of summers ago because I feel that the teachings of my church are lacking, and I have gained so much knowledge and have stronger faith than ever. I recommend your work to friends from school (college) frequently. Kepp up the great work.

Please share more about youth ministry! This was so useful

Hey Mike I have been listening to you for a that last few months. Great content. So far I am very happy to see that you are the most sound doctrinal teacher on the Tube. I have been answering objections for a few years and I have been preparing my 15 year old son for college. So this is really cool. Keep up the good work.

Another super helpful video. I have the older copy of Evidence... so want to get the newer version. The other books look great too and want to look into those. Thanks brother.

Yesss!!! Thanks so much Pastor Mike. Perfect. 👍🏼 Just beginning to teach apologetics in my church. Sick and tired of seeing young people say "Duh. I'm an agnostic. Duh."

[eveharrellauthor]

This is fabulous Mike! Thank you so much for sharing this. As a high school coach and leader it is critical to understand our faith and to know what the Bible says so that we can disciple others.

Thank you for this. I'm pretty sure the Holy Spirit has pressed this on my heart for a while now. The kids in my country, and definitely my church, aren't learning this anywhere. I want my church to start teaching apologetics to both parents and kids and if the model works, hopefully it can be used by other churches.

Love from South Africa ❤

Wonderful talk. You are so right. Young people need to be prepared.

Another awesome video Mike.
Thank you for the great work you're doing. May God continue to bless your ministry.

This is a great video! Still stands up to the test of time.

As for why people repeat the same arguments over and over, Bonhoffer (Pastor who plotted to assassinate Hitler) make an excellent point on this stupidity or scripturally, foolishness. It doesn't seem you're arguing with the person themselves, but ideas and slogans they've been programmed to regurgitate. The person is enslaved to something akin to a DIFFERENT social contagion to keep the theme. Regarding some issues, they simply refuse to think and only repeat what they've been told.

An easy demonstration for this is politics, especially now when it has become so blatantly polarized. But it's always been so.
