Too often, apologetics gets reduced to an intellectual arm-wrestling match—who’s the smartest, the quickest, or the best at dropping “gotcha” questions. But that’s not what biblical apologetics is for. In this episode of Weighed in the Balance, Jonathan Brooks and Josh Goodwin unpack why the goal of defending the faith isn’t to crush an opponent but to faithfully represent Christ. Along the way, they walk through the three major approaches to apologetics—the evidentialist approach, the classical approach, and the presuppositional approach—highlighting their strengths, limitations, and how each one shapes the way we engage with skeptics. You’ll hear how the heart behind your defense matters just as much as the method you choose, why humility is more persuasive than arrogance, and how to balance truth and love in conversations about the gospel.
