Season: 9 Episode: 149
Summary:
After watching her husband commit suicide, Jennifer was plunged into an emotional whirlwind. The apologetics training she underwent to equip herself to witness to her husband and reassure him that God exists was the same evidence that anchored her during this time of tragic loss. She had to rely on what she knew instead of what she felt and that is what anchored her. She now speaks and writes to help others learn to defend the faith.

Question One
It seems we all have our story about how we got into apologetics and yours was to help someone in your family with skepticism and questions they needed answers to. Tell us about it.
Question Two
Something tragic happened in your life. Can you tell us about it and how what you knew about God and your study in apologetics helped you when what you felt was overwhelming?
Question Three
You’re an example of why apologetics is for everyone – not only scholars and social media influencers. You wrote a blog post about the 5 reasons every Christian should study apologetics. Can you tell us what those are?
Question Four
You run TheMamapologist (love the name) and Heaven Not Harvard. What inspired you to do this and what are they about?
Question Five
You are an honest writer. I appreciate that about you and you write well and you connect so well with your audience. I also see you get pushback on your site but you handle it with grace. How do you prepare yourself for that sort of pushback and what keeps you from shying away from it? How can you encourage other Christians to stand up to opposition, not shy away from it?
