Can you think of a time when you were called upon to give a defense of your faith in Christ? If so, briefly explain.
-
Yes, however I cannot recall specific times. I felt I was Ill prepared and unfortunately felt like I needed to have more supportive evidence and factors as supposed to speaking from my heart. I want to be at a place where I can see from my heart and not feeling like I have to convince with winning evidence.
-
Seeking God wholeheartedly can lead to personal experiences strengthening one’s faith in Christ. When asked to defend my faith, a personal experience with Christ has served as a powerful testimony when I share with others.
-
Yes, I have experienced these times when witnessing to others or when giving my salvation testimony. My desire to study apologetics was fueled by times of witnessing to either young Mormon elders or Jehovah Witness persons who have come to the door. I have invited them in to to talk about their church doctrine versus my faith and understanding of the Word of God, and relationship wth Jesus Christ.
-
Yes, it happens at family gatherings. Cooler heads prevailed as I went into a discussion of my faith and drew deeper understanding from my family members who are non believers. It was actually a very cool moment to have deep, open discussion on God and my beliefs.

Honestly, i can’t recall a particular time when I’ve had to defend my faith. That doesn’t mean that it hasn’t happened, but nothing in particular comes to mind. I try, right now, to avoid confrontations or debates of faith because i don’t have the knowledge to defend my faith well and i don’t want to turn someone away because of my lack of knowledge. But that is why I am here…to learn and grow.
