Episode 209: Street Smarts [Part 1] with Christian Apologist Greg Koukl

<p>It seems to be more and more difficult in today's divisive culture wars to have civil and meaningful conversations with non-Christians. While we certainly do not wish to change the message of the Gospel, it is important to understand what are the sort of fruitful approaches to sharing our faith that can help at least begin such conversations. Evangelism is not what it used to be. On the next two episodes of the Profile we talk with author, apologist, and founder of Stand to Reason ministries Greg Koukl about his latest book, <em>Street Smarts. </em>Greg gives us wisdom for how to engage those on the outside by means of understanding the nature of gardening. </p><p><br><strong>Greg Koukl</strong> founded <strong> Stand to Reason</strong> (<a href="https://www.str.org">str.org</a>)  in 1993 and currently serves as president.
