Episode 16: The Intersection of Theology & Apologetics (Bradley & Hartman)

Youth pastor theologians know that persuasion is an important element of their ministry. Students are faced with so many opposing worldviews and doubts, it's important for us to take an apologetic approach when teaching the Bible and theology. But what's that mean and how do we do it? In this episode, we're joined by two of YPT's regular contributors to discuss the intersection of theology and apologetics.

• Why is it important to lead ministries that prioritize theology and apologetics?
• What’s the difference between teaching theology and teaching theologically? What’s that really look like in your own ministries?
• Does youth ministry focus too much on apologetics? 
• How do the affections shape the way we teach the Bible, and how can apologetics help us with that? 
• What are some recommendations for someone who wants to read or study more?

Joseph Bradley is the student pastor at Second Baptist Church of Arkadelphia in Arkadelphia, Arkansas 

Nick Hartman is the associate pastor of students and discipleship at Mt Carmel Baptist Church in Cross Plains, TN
