“We, however, are commanded to use apologetics in as many or more places as we are told to preach the gospel.”

Who is the command for?

https://www.gotquestions.org/always-be-ready-to-give-an-answer.html

“Notice that Peter does not say that the job of giving an answer is only for the pastor or professional apologist. All Christians need to be prepared to give an answer or defense when someone asks them the reason for the hope that they have.”

The 8 Tips to study apologetics are:

  1. Master the basics
  2. Learn one new thing everyday
  3. Focus in on what you care about
  4. Don’t neglect your personal Bible study and prayer
  5. Admit it when you don’t know something
  6. Win the person, not the argument
  7. Use various types of media (BOA is here to help with this one)
  8. Don’t give up!
