Christ and Culture | Apologetics in an Anti-Trust Culture (with Ben Holloway) – EP 249
How should Christians defend the faith in a culture that doubts objective truth, distrusts testimony, and increasingly sees believers as a minority? In this episode, Benjamin Quinn talks with Dr. Ben Holloway about three challenges facing apologetics in the West today: the rejection of objectivity, reluctance to trust testimony, and the relegation of Christians to a minority.
Holloway shares how years in youth ministry showed him the need to think carefully, not just repeat answers he'd heard. He explains why John Feinberg's advice to start with the basic laws of logic still works, how to weigh testimony the way we weigh any witness (including the apostle John's eyewitness claims), and why a personal story explains your faith without proving it. They also discuss the difference between apologetics and evangelism, and why a minority should seek conversion rather than conformity.

The conversation closes on a reminder that Christians speak into every cultural question out of love for God and neighbor, and should do so with charity, kindness, and thought.
