Sharing the Gospel Amid Today's Most Pressing Challenges and Questions

In a culture whose needs and obstacles to faith are continuously shifting, Christians are wise to ask themselves: How do we share and defend the gospel with relevance for today?

Apologetics for an Ever-Changing Culture is a practical how-to guide for conveying and upholding the Christian faith in our contemporary cultural context. With contributions from 23 leading voices in Christian apologetics and six in-depth expert interviews, this empowering resource addresses both classic and new apologetics issues, helping you

• engage confidently with non-Christians with guidance from a diverse group of seasoned apologists
• converse biblically and effectively on pressing issues including the mental health crisis, contemporary critical theory, deconstruction, gender narratives, and more
• learn practical skills for defending the faith online, teaching apologetics to the next generation, doing apologetics in the church, and helping people through doubt

Suitable for both individual and group study, this relationally-driven guide will help you honor God and love others better as you engage today's issues with truth, wisdom, and compassion.

When was the last time you had a real & meaningful conversation? What has happened to our society?

Differences of opinion have always been part of life. For decades, spouses, family members, co-workers, and neighbors have had spirited conversations about politics, social issues, religion, current events, and even sports. But what was different in the past is that these disagreements wouldn't sever ties between family and friends.

Today, we live in an argument culture that has let to nearly a third of people reporting they have stopped talking to a friend or family member due to a disagreement and nearly two-thirds of people saying they stay quiet about their beliefs due to the fear of offending others. From cyberbullying to hate speech, workplace harassment, demonizing political language, verbal abuse, and intolerance, the vast majority of us--eighty-seven percent--no longer feel safe in public places to share our opinions.

Sean McDowell and Tim Muehlhoff seek to end this stalemate. They believe Christians are called to be God's ambassadors, which necessarily entails the need to listen to those around us--especially people with diverse and different perspectives. In End the Stalemate, you will be able to revive the art of meaningful conversations by walking through:

• How to create connection and emotional awareness that opens the door for a fair exchange of ideas and effective communication;
• How to engage in perspective-taking, as illustrated in Scripture in a number of stories;
• How to speak the truth in love, from a biblical understanding;
• How to structure a conversation with those who hold diverse, and/or seemingly threatening, views; and
• How to honor the words and perspective of those with whom we disagree.

Yes, we live in cancel culture. But that doesn't mean that we as Christians need to conform to our world. Instead, we can be a beacon of sanity that promotes meaningful conversations around what matters most in this life--and the next.

Whether you're a Christian parent, youth leader, or educator who works with Generation Z, this book was written for you. As powerful ideas in our increasingly secular culture shape more of this generation, trusted leaders must share what they know about Jesus in ways that will reach them. But how? Backed by the latest research and first hand experience, this powerful book shows how to share biblical truth with a generation that desperately needs to hear it in a way that draws them in instead of pushing them away.

Written by two youth influencers and experts on Generation Z, Sean McDowell, Ph.D., and J. Warner Wallace, So the Next Generation Will Know is an extraordinarily practical and relatable guide for anyone concerned with ensuring the next generation understands and embraces a biblical worldview.

Atheism is making a comeback. From bookstores to bus campaigns, the question of God is up for public debate--and well-known atheists like Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens are leading the charge. While these authors, who have been dubbed The New Atheists, argue against religion in general, they aim most of their criticisms and complaints at the world's largest religion--Christianity. Why are people reading books that bash God and ridicule faith? And how can Christians respond?

The writings of the New Atheists are especially challenging to the emerging generation who are skeptical of authority and have not been given answers to the hows and whys of faith's honest questions. For these readers especially, authors Sean McDowell and Jonathan Morrow have penned an accessible yet rigorous look at the arguments of the New Atheists. Writing from a distinctively Christian perspective, McDowell and Morrow lay out the facts so that the emerging generation can make up their own mind after considering all the evidence. Divided into two parts--the first addressing the scientific and philosophical challenges to belief in God and the second dealing with the moral and biblical challenges--Is God Just a Human Invention? will respond to each major argument in a way that is balanced, thorough, and easy to understand.

McDowell and Morrow believe that the current religious landscape is both an opportunity and a challenge for people of faith. Now is the time to respond.

How to analyze and reevaluate your Christian beliefs and experiences in the church while keeping the core of your faith intact.

The number of Christians leaving the church today is significant. Many feel there is no place for them within the faith--they no longer feel at home in their church community or tradition. For various reasons, they are unsettled by the version of Christianity they've inherited.

Stripping away the nonessential aspects of Christianity, Sean McDowell and John Marriott will help you navigate the jarring questions and cultural challenges that lead many to walk away from the faith. You'll come to recognize that there are other ways Christians throughout history have understood what faithfulness to Jesus looks like.

Each chapter provides practical advice on how to disassemble, rethink, and reassemble beliefs that are truly Christian and culturally and personally relevant. You'll learn how you can continue to seek an authentic faith by:

• Establishing Jesus and his teachings as the foundation.
• Utilizing the creeds as boundary markers of what is essential.
• Seeing the entire Bible as a truthful revelation from God.
• Seeing Christianity as a historic and global tradition that encompasses diverse communities and viewpoints.

The authors of this book can personally identify with the process of disillusionment that many young believers go through. They wrote Set Adrift as people who had to navigate their own way back through the fog of deconstruction. They wrote it to offer their own personal suggestions for what to do when you're not sure what to believe anymore.

The Book of Martyrs by John Foxe written in the sixteenth century has long been the go-to source for studying the lives and martyrdom of the apostles. While other scholars have written individual treatments on the more prominent apostles such as Peter, Paul, John, and James, there is little published information on the other apostles. In The Fate of the Apostles, Sean McDowell offers a comprehensive, reasoned, historical analysis of the fate of the Twelve disciples of Jesus along with the apostles Paul and James, the brother of Jesus. McDowell assesses the evidence for each apostle's martyrdom as well as determining its significance to the reliability of their testimony. The question of the fate of the apostles also gets to the heart of the reliability of the kerygma: Did the apostles really believe Jesus appeared to them after his death, or did they fabricate the entire story? How reliable are the resurrection accounts? The willingness of the apostles to die for their faith is a popular argument in resurrection studies. In this thoroughly updated new edition, McDowell offers insightful scholarly analysis of this argument to break new ground within the spheres of New Testament studies, Church History, and apologetics.

Many teenagers leave home for college but don't take their faith with them. Popular writer and speaker Sean McDowell offers a solution for this problem: a new way of approaching faith that addresses the questions the emerging generation is asking and that incorporates a radically humble and relational approach.

An impressive list of contributors including Dan Kimball (They Like Jesus but Not the Church), Brian Godawa (Hollywood Worldviews), and Josh McDowell show that today's apologetics must employ...

• a clear connection with everyday life
• an invitation for people to express their doubts and wrestle with tough questions
• a culturally savvy understanding of the way secular people view Christians
• an engaging methodology that captures the imagination before engaging the mind
• a strong emphasis on the resurrection and how it changes everything

This resource is imperative for leaders who are ready to engage a new generation with the claims of Christ.

A New Kind of Apologist, edited by Sean McDowell and with contributions from more than 20 leading apologists, is the go-to resource for effectively defending the Christian faith in our changing culture. In it you'll discover:

• important topics often ignored by apologists, such as transgender issues, religious freedom, and the intersection of economics and apologetics
• a new kind of apologetics that is relational, gracious, and holistic
• interviews with both seasoned apologists and skeptics, providing insights into how to do apologetics effectively in today's culture

A New Kind of Apologist addresses the latest issues, including

• Connecting Apologetics to the Heart
• Teaching Apologetics to the Next Generation
• Apologetics in our Sexually Broken Culture
• Apologetics and Islam
• Apologetics and Religious Freedom

and adopts fresh strategies for reaching those who are outside the church with the truth of the gospel.

Kids want to see the evidence for themselves! In a kid - friendly Q&A about at the claims of the Gospel writers and 2,000 years of believing Christians, bestselling author Josh McDowell and his son Sean examine the compelling evidence and conclude that Jesus Christ conquered deat! In clear, accessible chapters that correspond to the adult and teen editions of the book, Josh and Sean invite children ages 7 to 10 to discover the proof of Christ's resurrection and what it means for them today.

Is it possible to follow God's design for love?

We live in a society that constantly challenges us when it comes to sexuality.

This study will take you through God's Word to answer some of the toughest questions about love, sex, gender, and relationships. We will learn that it is possible to embrace God's design by loving Him and others with both our bodies and our souls. We will learn how we can show love to those who live outside God's design and that God's love heals wounds.

Following Jesus has never been harder. In a culture that glamorizes sex, chases fame, and shames those who don't fall in line, it takes a rebel to be a Christian.

In this book, Sean McDowell aims to encourage and inspire a generation of rebels who will dare to stand up to the madness in a just and loving manner.

A Rebel's Manifesto offers clear guidance to help people navigate the many moral issues that plague this generation. Students today are oriented toward action on ethical issues, and Sean will not only help them think biblically about various ethical issues, but he will also offer practical steps to make a positive difference in this world. In this book, Sean covers

• navigating bullying and social media;
• handling loneliness, pornography, and sex;
• approaching various conversations around climate change, race, and other controversial issues; and
• articulating and defending biblical views at school, online, and with friends.

Life doesn't need to devolve into an online shouting match. Sean proposes a better way: to live a life calmly and confidently grounded in biblical truth.

No es que la felicidad está en hallar el «amor real ?

Desde la música hasta las redes sociales, el sexo está en todas partes. Y muchas personas hoy piensan que el sexo es el camino a la verdadera felicidad. No obstante, Jesús nos mostró que la verdadera felicidad llega al amar a Dios y a los demás. En una cultura saturada con polémica sobre el sexo, la identidad de género, las relaciones entre el mismo sexo, la pornografía, y el abuso sexual, tenemos que preguntas: es posible seguir totalmente el diseño de Dios para el amor y la sexualidad?

Sí, lo es.

Vivimos en una sociedad que nos reta diariamente con una índole de temas complicados sobre la sexualidad, pero Dios no nos abandona para encontrar las respuestas por nuestra cuenta. Él nos muestra Su diseño para el sexo, la soltería y el matrimonio en Su Palabra.

En este estudio de 9 sesiones, Sean McDowell nos lleva en un viaje a través de la Palabra de Dios para responder a las preguntas más difíciles sobre el amor, el sexo, el género y las relaciones. Él nos da consejos prácticos para llevar una vida de pureza que ame a Dios y a otros tanto con nuestro cuerpo y nuestra alma. Aprenderemos a cómo mostrar amor con aquellos que viven fuera del diseño de Dios. Y descubriremos que, el amor de Dios sana nuestras heridas y Su gracia nos libera de la vergüenza y la culpa de los pecados pasados.

Este estudio bíblico te ayudará a:

• entender y adoptar el diseño de Dios para el amor, las relaciones, y la sexualidad.
• ver que nunca estás muy lejos del perdón y de la gracia de Dios.
• aprender a dialogar los temas LGBTQ tanto con compasión como con claridad bíblica.
• atender con compasión a las personas que han sido abusadas o que creen de otra manera.

INCLUYE recursos adicionales para liderar el estudio de 9 sesiones: un libro de estudio, videos, y una guía para el líder.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Doesn't happiness come from finding real love?

From music to movies to social media, sex is everywhere. And many people today think sex itself is the route to happiness. But Jesus showed that true happiness comes from loving God and loving others. In a culture filled with tension over sex, gender identity, same-sex sexual relationships, pornography, and sexual abuse, we have to ask: Is it really possible to fully follow God's design for love and sexuality?

Yes, it is.

We live in a society that challenges us daily when it comes to tough topics related to sexuality, but God doesn't leave us to find the answers on our own. He shows us His design for sex, singleness, and marriage in His Word.

In this nine-session Bible study, Sean McDowell takes us through God's Word to answer some of our toughest questions about love, sex, gender, and relationships. He provides practical counsel on how we can embrace a life of purity by loving God and loving others with both our body and our soul. We'll learn how to show love to those living outside of God's design. And we will discover that God's love heals our wounds and His grace frees us from the shame and guilt of past sin.

This Bible study will help you:

• understand and embrace God's design for love, relationships, and sexuality.
• see that you're never beyond God's forgiveness and grace.
• learn how to engage the LGBTQ conversation with both compassion and biblical clarity.
• respond in compassion to those who have been abused or who believe differently.

ALSO AVAILABLE resources for leading a nine-session group study: one Bible study book, digital downloads, and extra leader resources.

Race Relations. Climate Change. Sexuality.

What do these issues have in common? They can be divisive and are sure to inspire passionate opinions. But they are also important and impact our world greatly. Should the church avoid them at all costs? No, the Bible actually has a lot to say about these issues.

This 6-session study will help students learn how to think biblically about these topics and more. In this ever-changing world, biblical truth is rapidly being swallowed up. Students need to be equipped with tools to help them lovingly and kindly engage in conversations about difficult topics. This study will help students address these and other cultural issues with clarity and boldness.

Features:

• Interactive teaching videos featuring author Sean McDowell; approximately 6-8 minutes for each session - available for purchase separately
• Leader Guide in the back of the Bible study book to guide questions and discussion with small groups
• Personal study segments to complete between group sessions
• Biblically rooted and gospel-centered
• Six small-group sessions

• Learn to see through the cultural noise and discover how Jesus would respond.

• Gain clarity on what biblical justice means and how to understand it.
• Care about poverty and racism with a heart of kindness and in a way that helps people.

This journey will take readers on a quest for spiritual truth

Quest: It means to go on an adventurous journey in pursuit of something valuable. In this life, there's nothing more challenging, more adventurous than going on a search for truth... and for something, or someone greater than ourselves. It's a sad reality that Christianity is facing a crisis of declining belief; younger generations are 50% less likely than older adults to believe the teachings of the Bible. What we need is a GodQuest

In GodQuest, authors Sean McDowell and Stan Jantz take readers on a journey to discover powerful evidence for the existence of God, the truth of the Bible, and the deity of Jesus. This engaging book will help readers explore the scientific, archaeological, and historical evidence for Christianity in a way that is both intriguing and understandable. Readers will also learn one very important truth: What they believe about God will affect their daily choices, influence the path they take in this life, and determine their final destination-for eternity.

For Christian readers, GodQuest will provide evidence and certainty to help them remain on God's narrow path and develop a faith that is founded in unchangeable Truth. For spiritual seekers, this book will challenge them to embark on a GodQuest for that truth and discover an empowering relationship with the God who created them.

This fully-researched, eight-session guide takes participants through a variety of engaging materials that will enable youth leaders, Christian teachers, and parents to strategically teach truth to the next generation. These authors are both parent's and have been youth leaders (and Sean has been a Christian school teacher), so they know how to equip youth influencers to discover fresh ways to reach students and help them be effective defenders of God's truth.

Written to work seamlessly with their all-new book and video series, this accessible guide includes questions for reflection, notes for discussion, and plenty of real-life ministry examples to aid readers as they seek to apply the most effective tools to their own youth ministries and classrooms. Participants will grow confident that they're utilizing the best practices available as they send their youth out into a challenging culture.

The interactive participant's guide is created to be used with eight videos, accessible by DVD or streaming. To aid you in your planning, following are the session titles and video run times:

1 Love Responds 11:42
2 Love Understands 11:06
