The Good, The True, The Beautiful: Apologetics for Evangelism.

With permission, I'm re-hosing this episode of the Persuasive Evangelism Podcast from March 25th 2026:

Research indicates that many people will first consider whether Christianity is something good, before they consider whether or not it is true. But for both these questions, the discipline of philosophy informs how we think about them. Can a stuffy old academic discipline really help much with modern spiritual questions? Steve Osmond and Simon Wenham learn more about what philosophy and apologetics brings to evangelism.
