Check out this article in the Christian Post interviewing Lee Strobel on the importance of apologetics in our culture today. He mentions Q Place as groundbreaking in the field of seeker small groups!
In the article, Strobel argues that apologetics is making a comeback as a critical part our faith. He reminds readers that it is not just a good idea to have a knowledge of apologetics, but that we are actually commanded in scripture to be prepared for spiritual discussion. (1Peter 3:15: “Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. Do this with gentleness and respect.”)
Strobel argues that people need to wrestle with questions in order for them to feel confident in taking a step toward faith. “ We often fail to realize it, but many of us have a son or daughter, a parent or sibling, a neighbor or colleague who is just one question away from faith in Christ. There’s a major obstacle, objection, or issue that has stymied them in their spiritual journey. We need to help them – whether they have only one question or a whole raft of them.”
Because of this, being able to engage with them in relational, loving conversation about these questions is where our focus should be as a church.
