Apologetics Week 2019
Last week was apologetics week! Each weekday I shared how apologetics has impacted me personally or I shared something the study of apologetics has taught me. I created several graphics and had a reflection each day. The following is a compilation of each days post.
DAY 1
Apologetics gave me an opportunity to explore my doubts and questions as a teen. Now I get the opportunity to let other people know it’s okay to have questions. It doesn’t make you any less of a Christian!
DAY 2
It’s easy to put God in a box. Through studying mathematics in my undergraduate degree, I learned how incredible and huge our world really is. The order and beauty of our universe pointed me to an even more wonderful and beautiful God. If God is so magnificent, I should not be foolish enough to put God in my Western, first world, twenty-first century, southern United States box.
DAY 3
Some adults are intimidated by teens, but they are simply learning and exploring this vast world and what it means to be human. Let’s be there for our youth and help them explore their faith questions.
DAY 4
When I was a kid, I genuinely wanted to be a Vulcan from Star Trek. I figured emotions were useless in light of logic. As I’ve grown, I’ve learned that God made every person capable of emotion and thought. Neither emotions nor thought should be dismissed, but celebrated and used in God-honoring ways. Wondering how emotion (or more broadly, the arts as expressions of feelings) relate to apologetics? Look no further than C.S. Lewis’s ”Chronicles of Narnia.” It’s a creative apologetic.
DAY 5
God revealed Himself in humanity, math, science, history, and most clearly in the person of Jesus in human flesh.
