Case Study:
How to Run an Apologetics Ministry at Your Church
Equipping and Apologetics at Watermark Community Church
In this episode of the Table Podcast, I sit down with Nathan Wagnon to talk about running an apologetics ministry in the church. Nathan is the Director of Equipping and Apologetics at Watermark Community Church in Dallas, TX and I was excited to finally get him on the show.
Before running the apologetics ministry at Watermark, he was in the army. Before that, he worked with Dan Wallace at the Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts. He’s a fellow DTS grad and just great guy to know.
Our conversation focuses on how to create and integrate an apologetics ministry into your church. We also talk about how you can be a part of launching something like this—even if you’re not on the paid staff.
Here’s an outline of our conversation:
- 00:37 Wagnon shares his background
- 05:39 Why should a church have an apologetics ministry?
- 08:35 What does an apologetics ministry at a church look like?
- 18:33 How do you properly engage a person who asks questions?
- 22:58 How can you integrate apologetics into other ministries?
- 28:27 What are the steps in creating an apologetics ministry?
- 31:56 How can a lay leader begin an apologetics ministry?
- 39:31 How pastoral should an apologist be?
