About this episode

The episode discusses how to effectively defend one's faith and equip teens to stand firm in their beliefs.

Today, on Karl and Crew, we continued our weekly theme of “Preparation” with conversations about how to engage in gospel conversations and in apologetics. We had Abdu Murray join us to discuss the importance of being prepared to share your faith and how to prepare. Abdu is a speaker, author, and attorney who specializes in addressing issues where religious faith and emerging cultural trends intersect and collide. He is also the President of Embrace the Truth . Then we had Dr. Jonathan Morrow join us to discuss the subtle shift in Christian students' disengagement from their faith in college and how to prevent it. Dr. Morrow is an author, speaker, and professor. He is the Director of Cultural Engagement and Student Discipleship for Impact 360 Institute and is passionate about helping a new generation of Christ-followers.
