Tactics in Defending the Faith

A Game Plan for Discussing Your Christian Convictions

In this episode of the Table Podcast, I talk with Greg Koukl and Amy Hall about tactics in defending the faith, focusing on helping Christians have meaningful spiritual conversations with people who see Christianity differently.

Greg was a key influence in my initial interest in apologetics during my college years. I highly recommend his books, Tactics: A Game Plan for Discussing Your Christian Convictions and The Story of Reality: How the World Began, How It Ends, and Everything Important that Happens in Between. I was pleased to have him and Amy on the show to discuss the following:

The ambassador model of engagement
Christlike character in spiritual conversations
The importance of using questions
The first question in the Columbo tactic
The personal nature of the Columbo tactic
Using the first question in conversation
Using the first question on social media
The second question in the Columbo tactic
The third question in the Columbo tactic
Encouraging believers to have spiritual conversations
