Ep 900 | How to Reach Gen Z with the Gospel | Guest: Dr. Sean McDowell (Part One)
Today we\u2019re joined by professor and apologist Dr. Sean McDowell to discuss his work as a professor and how to share the truth of the gospel with the younger generations. First we discuss some of the challenges of living and teaching in a place like Southern California that is seen as a hub of secularism and progressivism. Dr. McDowell explains how in our culture, the voices from outside Christianity are encroaching more and more, and when young people aren't ready to defend their faith, it's even worse. We talk about how to approach LGBTQ issues with younger generations and why starting by asking questions is so important. We explain why, despite the importance of feelings, they don't trump truth and morality. Then, what is actual freedom, and does it mean we need more boundaries or fewer?\n\n---\n\nTimecodes:\n\n(01:10) Intro\n(01:49) Challenges of living & teaching in California\n(04:40) Young peoples' preparedness as Christians\n(06:22) Biggest questions from young people\n(08:30) LGBTQ issues & feelings from theological perspective\n(14:12) Asking questions and listening before you speak\n(20:20) Why feelings don't trump truth\n(22:15) Freedom\n(32:30) Defining justice\n\n---\n\nToday's Sponsors:\n\nA'Del \u2014 go to adelnaturalcosmetics.com and enter promo code "ALLIE" for 25% off your first order!\n\nCrowdHealth \u2014 get your first 6 months for just $99/month.
