In today's episode, Becket chats with Stand to Reason's Alan Shlemon about very interesting ways to defend the faith and share the Gospel. Alan lays out various strategies, including the "Columbo" and the "Taking the Roof Off" tactics. You will be surprised, edified, and encouraged by this episode. We also learn the difference between an "argument" and a "burden of proof." Alan gives great illustrations of how these tactics work in real life. We even do a role play where I pretend to be a skeptic and he uses the tactics on me. The goal of these tactics is to "put a stone in the skeptic's shoe."
