Navigating Objections & Questions

Join Rusty George in episode four of the 'Relational Apologetics' series as he delves into the challenges of objections and difficult questions in relational apologetics. This episode shows the importance of viewing objections as opportunities for deeper engagement rather than signs of rejection. Rusty highlights strategies such as empathetic listening, asking clarifying questions, and building personal connections to foster meaningful conversations about faith. Reflect on practical ways to show respect and empathy while navigating intellectual, emotional, and practical objections, and prepare to explore the long-term approach of relational faith in the upcoming final episode.
