Interview On Anatomy Of The Church And State Podcast

Patrick and Tony were invited onto Jeremiah Campana’s podcast Anatomy Of The Church And State. We discussed many different aspects of apologetics and the role it has in the believer’s lives. This was a great way to talk about the summation of many of the books we’ve discussed on our show. It was also a fun challenge to get some rapid-fire questions on a number of different questions any believer may face these days.

So for this week’s episode, we want to highlight Jeremiah’s show in this interview and hope you watch it.

From the episode page:

Why are Christian apologetics important? Apologetics provides a framework for Christians to understand and defend their faith in a world that is increasingly hostile to Christianity. Apologetics can also help Christians to better understand their own faith and to articulate it more clearly to others. Join me and the hosts of the Cave To The Cross Podcast as we discuss!
