Understanding why someone doesn't believe is critical to helping them overcome doubt! People are often skeptical of the Bible for many reasons, but these can be traced to four types of objections: biblical scientific, moral, and spiritual. Once you understand the issues people have raised about these topics, you can better address their skepticism with facts and relevant information. Objections are opportunities. They reveal a non-believers need for truth, and they challenge us to make our faith relevant. With this handy guide to faith conversations, you can expertly present your faith, and defend your worldview with confidence. Be prepared to face the skeptics and help win them for Christ!

Conversations are snapshots of a person's worldview. You never know when one of those conversations will challenge your Christian faith. Are you equipped to effectively deal with this skepticism? Meet the Skeptic teaches believers to think about skepticism in categories. Chasing down answers to every objection a skeptic raises often leads nowhere because the conversation becomes a superficial game of one-upmanship. By uncovering the presuppositions (Root Ideas) behind objections, Meet the Skeptic trains believers how to steer conversations with skeptics in a more meaningful direction rather than trying to win the argument. It will help readers: Get to the Root Ideas of worldviews instead of pulling at the weeds. Recognize the Red-Flag Words that prop up objections. Scrutinize bumper-sticker comments. Ask probing questions and acquire an ear for opportunities
Meet the Skeptic is effective for conversational training as well as being a model for building an apologetics curriculum.
